Cesarean Myths💗

Needing a belly birth, whether elective or not, is a scary feeling.

C-sections are major abdominal surgery and the recovery can be challenging.

It is difficult to cough, sit up unassisted, walk and hold your baby.

Every laugh is a reminder of how a tiny human was delivered through 9 layers of abdominal tissues and stitched back together, while you are awake.

All Mamas are pretty badass, but for the record, no birth is easy and one is not better or easier than the other.

To my fellow mom community, keep shining and don't forget how incredible your body is. Give yourself love and grace in this era 💕.

Yours in health,
Dr. Jill🌱

Belly Births 🤱

Cesarean sections are far from the easy way out. April is cesarean awareness month so I would like to take this opportunity to share my advice, knowledge and things that have helped me recover.

I am a proud 2 time c-section mama ( 2 completely different experiences, stay tuned 😉). I have prenatal and postpartum certifications to help other Mamas rest and recover with piece of mind.

I will being sharing my experiences and recovery journey over the next month.

If there is a particular topic you would like to know more about or you have questions, drop me a DM below 👇

CLINIC UPDATE ⭐️

It is with great excitement that I announce I am moving my practice full time to Kawartha Family Chiropractic in Peterborough 👩‍⚕️💚

This was not an easy decision, and believe me, my husband and I spoke at great lengths on when would be the right time to close my Lindsay chapter. We live in Peteborough, and our son is going to go to school in Peterborough, so we feel that this is the right time to make the transition.

I have met so many incredible patients, coworkers, health professionals, and friends on my 5 year journey in Lindsay, and I am forever grateful. A special thank you to .sims.dc for helping me follow my heart and growing Lindsay Chiropractic and Wellness into such a beautiful space.

In terms of what this means for patients, Dr. Sims will be taking over my patients who are looking to stay in Lindsay. If you would like to join me in Peterborough, you are more than welcome to do so as well!

My last day at Lindsay Chiropractic and Wellness will be July 31st. So please book your appointments promptly as they are filling in quickly.🗓

More information will be coming over the next few days outlining more details.

Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and love.

You mean the world to me,
Dr. Jill 🌱

KIDDOS 🌱⭐️

I get asked all the time, "Why would I bring my kids to the chiropractor?" Or pure surprise."Wow! You treat babies?😮"

The short answer is absolutely.

Chiropractic care is more than dealing with your aches and pains. The nervous system is the electrical system of our bodies and needs regular tune ups. If your electrical system isn't firing properly, then you start to see our body function less effectively. This can present in many different warning lights, and most of the time, it isn't pain.

It can impact feeding, gut and immune systems, motor milestones, emotional regulation, focus during learning, mental health, and so many more things.

If this sounds like your child, send me a DM or call the clinic in my bio for a free complimentary consult ☎️

My philosophy and treatment approach 👩‍⚕️

It occurred to me this week that finding the right chiropractor is a lot like finding the right hairdresser. Sometimes, you have to try a few before you find the person who just gets you and shares your vision 💁‍♀️.

So I thought since there's lots of new friends on here, I would share a little bit about Jill, the chiropractor today.

These are my mantras, and I stand by them.

1. Active listener👂
I want to hear your story. Tell me everything, start to finish. You should feel heard, don't ever worry about word vomiting. It's my job to tease through what information is pertinent to our treatment plan. I don't expect you to have all the answers, but I do ask you to give me as much information about your health as you can even if you don't think it matters.

2. Checking in 💕
I will often ask how you're doing throughout treatment. It's not because I'm not confident in my treating style, I am, it's because I want you to feel comfortable and confident too. I will often send check in emails to see how you're doing, there's no pressure but your health is important to me.

3. Opportunity to Ask Questions❓️
If you don't ask, you don't know. There are absolutely no dumb questions. I will happily make time to thoroughly answer your questions, whether that's a phone call, an email, or a few minutes at the end of treatment. Never feel guilty for wanting more clarity.

4. Making You an Active Role in Our Treatment Plan🏃‍♀️
I enjoy your company, but typically as your health improves, I progressively see you less and less. For treatment to work, you need to be actively engaged and participating. That means being consistent with your appointments, doing those exercises, and communicating with me about what you're comfortable with regards to care. I want to see you succeed and in order to do that we need to work as a team.

I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but I try really hard to be compassionate and honest.

If my approach resonates with you, I'd love to work with you!

Yours in health,

BACKPACKS 🎒

This is my public service announcement for parents to check on their kids' backpacks!

Tips for proper backpacks

1. Lightweight material with shoulder and backpack padding 🎒

2. Ideally, chest and waist straps to alleviate the bag falling down their back. Tighten the straps so the bottom of their backpack is above their bum as well 👌

3. Don't pack it too heavy. Their bag should only weigh 10-15% of their body weight. Also try to evenly distribute the weight through different pockets where possible

4. Don't forget your lunch!! 🍎🤣

Yours in health 🌱

5 Reasons to Consider Custom Orthotics

Individuals who stand on their feet all day long for work, such as nurses, factory workers, people who wear dress shoes and high heels, and work boots for construction, for example, can all benefit

3.Low Back or Hip Pain🚶‍♀️
Depending on where your low back or hip pain is developing from, orthotics can help with better posture alignment and comfort
