No Such Thing as Super Mom!

Women's health issues image.

Most mothers today tend to wear many hats in addition to their “Mom” uniform – wife, sister, daughter, employee, boss, volunteer, scout leader, club member, taxi driver, etc. Sometimes life can be overwhelming and very few women are skilled in the art of just saying “NO!” The “Super Mom” syndrome is very real, and it takes its toll on women in terms of physical and emotional stress. (Two of the causes of subluxation.)

These are just a few reasons why every mom needs to dump the idea that she can be a “Super Mom”:

  1. There is no such thing as a perfect anybody. It just can’t be done. Trying to be perfect in every facet of your life is pure folly.

  2. It is exhausting and overwhelming to think that you can be all things to all people. Besides that, it’s an impossible goal.

  3. Children need their mother to meet their needs, not everyone else’s.

  4. A “super mom” never lives in the joy of the moment; she is always looking at what she has to do next.

  5. Unrealistic expectations that we set for ourselves, and fail to achieve, lead to stress, anxiety and depression. Stress causes many diseases that can kill; anxiety and depression rob us of our health and overall well being.

If more women took the time to nurture themselves and their close relationships with family and friends, instead of trying to do it all perfectly, more women would lead happy and purposeful lives. No one is perfect - or meant to be! If you realize that, you’ll start to have a lot more fun. Being a mom is about being, not just doing!

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
