What is Holistic Chiropractic Care?

Holistic healthcare is huge. More people than ever are turning to natural ways to support their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Including seeing chiropractors who take a natural approach. Yes, holistic chiropractic care exists. It’s all natural. Non-invasive. A gentle approach to adjustments. Sometimes it involves energy healing. 

At Twin Waves Wellness Center, we take a holistic approach to chiropractic care in Solana Beach. How is this different from seeing a regular chiropractor? Well, people usually think of seeing a chiropractor as lying down and getting their back cracked. We don’t crack. There’s zero popping. Just soft, gentle touches. This helps move energy in your body. Gets to the root cause of your discomfort. We go beyond your typical adjustment. Take a whole-body approach to chiropractic care. Supporting body, mind, and spirit. 

A Guide to Holistic Chiropractic Care

Everything is energy. Different levels of energy within and outside the body contain different depths. A holistic chiropractor works with these energies. They help identify where vital energy is strongest. Then use this energy to heal other areas with less vitality. Say you’re dealing with neck or back pain. A holistic chiropractor helps relieve pain by working with this part of your body and the energy around it. 

At Twin Waves Wellness Center, we practice a type of holistic chiropractic care known as Network Spinal. It blends chiropractic care with bodywork and energy healing. It’s very gentle. Organized. Specific. It doesn’t involve manual spinal adjustments, the “cracking” and “popping” chiropractors are associated with. It is completely legit, evidence-based chiropractic care. But what makes Network Spinal different is that it’s done with light touches to the spine. This is mainly in the neck and sacral (lower) areas. These light touches are called contacts. They help reset the nervous system by releasing tension and trauma stored in the spine.

Benefits of Seeing a Holistic Chiropractor

1) Boost Physical Vitality

Pain drains your energy. Fatigue will keep you from showing up as your best self. Injuries slow you down. A holistic chiropractor can help. What about neck pain? Back pain? Headaches? Burnout? Gentle, intentional adjustments can release the tension causing it. Energy starts to flow again. This helps reset the nervous system. Your vitality comes back online. 

Whether you visit Dr. Suzanna or me, we treat your whole being. Body. Mind. Energy. We see you. All of you. Which is why we personalize every session. We help your body remember its innate ability to self-heal. Tap into your life force, and move energy so it flows freely. 

2) Trauma Healing

Staying positive isn’t always easy. Especially if you’ve experienced trauma. If you’re still carrying ick from the past, believing in yourself (or anything, really) can feel impossible. Holistic chiropractic care can help. 

Trauma doesn’t just “go away” after the event happens. And it’s not just in the mind. It gets stored in the body. Your body remembers. It registers and holds onto the emotional pain. Even when you try to move on. 

“The body responds to trauma long after the events are over. Our bodies register the emotional pain and hold onto it, even when we try to move on.” – The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.

Dr. Suzanna and I learned about the mind/body connection from our parents at a young age. They were both dancers. Artists. Visionaries. Our father passed away when we were 10. I quickly learned there must be something more than just this physical reality. Trauma affects everyone. Our personal experiences at a young age shape who we become. Which has everything to do with what we do at Twin Waves Wellness Center. 

We take a holistic approach to chiropractic care. This helps the body gently release the trauma and stress it’s been holding onto. Through our unique approach, we work with your physical body and your energetic body. We help your energy flow to the areas of the body holding onto trauma. This helps release the emotional sludge that’s become stuck. 

Emotions can rise up during this process. That’s normal. Nothing to fear. It just means your body is moving out of fight-or-flight. Yes, this can be hard. But you’re not alone. We support this process every step of the way. Space opens up when past tension is finally released. It eases pain. Softens the nervous system. It basically moves the emotional attachment out of the physical body. It’s the only way to truly let go of trauma for good. 

We’ve created a safe, nurturing space where you can reconnect with your body. Release what no longer serves you. Embody your best life. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically. 

3) Connect Mind, Body, and Soul

Life feels different when mind, body, and soul are connected. It’s more aligned. You’re more present. Fully alive instead of just existing. It’s easy to feel the total opposite in today’s world, though. We’re constantly going. Always looking at a screen. Maintaining super busy schedules. Pulled in 100 different directions at once. Leaving us disconnected. This shows up as fatigue. Tension. Anxiety. Even depression. 

Holistic chiropractic care helps turn down the noise. It brings you back to you. Who you really are at your core. Gentle adjustments help recalibrate your whole person. So your mind, body, and soul work together. 

The Network Spinal technique we use helps energy flow freely through your whole being. It puts the scattered pieces back together. Ultimately, this creates synergy of mind, body, and spirit. Then you experience more ease. Increased clarity. A deeper sense of happiness. Like you’re really living. Not just going through the motions distracted. It carries into every part of your life. Every moment of your day. 

Our mission is simple: to reconnect you with who you truly are.  When mind, body, and soul are aligned, your inner wisdom comes alive. This is when true, lasting healing begins.

How Does Holistic Chiropractic Care Help With Pain?

Physical pain isn’t just physical. There’s usually an emotional component to it. A lot of the time, it’s the body’s way of expressing stress. Unresolved trauma. Blocked energy.  Holistic chiropractic care looks beyond physical pain. It definitely helps release neck tension. And helps with back pain. But it also restores balance to the nervous system. Increases energy flow throughout the body.  The result? Long-lasting relief.

Seeing a Holistic Chiropractor for Back Pain

We see so many people with back pain! It can be caused by anything, really. An old injury that flares up. A new injury. Sitting too long. Stress. All of these can lead to tension held in the spine. A holistic chiropractor (that’s us!) helps release this tension. This relieves pain. And helps restore mobility and balance. 

Dr. Suzanna and I don’t just mask your back pain.  We help your body heal from the inside out. The gentle, precise adjustments we do create space in your system. Then energy can flow freely. This helps ease inflammation. Aligns the spine. It works like a natural reset.

How Holistic Chiropractic Care Helps Neck Pain

Neck pain is — well, a real pain in the neck. It’s also super common. Ever heard of “text neck?” It’s caused by looking down at your phone or laptop for extended periods of time. Yes, text neck, also known as tech neck, is a very real thing. And it’s one of the most common complaints we see in our clients. The holistic approach we take works wonders, though. 

What we do is simple but powerful. We use light, intentional adjustments along the spine, neck, and sacrum. Big changes aren’t always created by force. These gentle touches are known as contacts. They work by creating subtle shifts that release tension. Holistic chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive way to ease that pesky pain in the neck.

Is Holistic Chiropractic Care Right for You?

Holistic chiropractic care isn’t like the back-cracking adjustments most people associate with seeing a chiropractor. It does ease pain. But it does a lot more. It helps your whole being thrive. It reconnects you with you. Releases stored trauma. Restores your energy flow. Connects mind, body, and soul. So you can thrive.
