January 2025 Newsletter

Special Chiropractic Pricing for Couples, Families & Kids 

Did you know that we offer discounted rates for couples, families and kids that come for adjustments together?

Since it is a bit of a time-saver for us to have consecutive adjustments within the same family, we are happy to pass along a little savings to you! Similarly, child adjustments are discounted since kids take less time to adjust.

Our goal is to make health-promoting chiropractic care affordable for your family as a strategy to living with great vitality.

Reach out to Shawna or Michelle for the specifics!

Amy has a great touch and sense of what needs to be done to help you feel awesome. We will do a video for the February Newsletter for you to meet her, but in the meantime here is more from Amy:

My name is Amy Hartley, LMT and I received my license in massage therapy in 2007 from SHI Integrative Medical Massage School here in Ohio in. My start in the profession was not intentional but a great story should you be so curious to ask during a session. I absolutely love what I do and am also board certified in therapeutic massage and bodywork via NCBTMB, National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork since 2023.

Certificated modalities include:
-Prenatal
-Graston Technique
-Lymphatic Massage
-Therapeutic/Pain Relief 
-Swedish 

Hot stone and other spa inspired services are offered for those who would like to add a little extra “luxury” during their session. 

I have two sons that I adore and am excited to begin this new chapter of my career here affiliated with Thrive Chiropractic.


Research: Quality of Life Benefits of Chiropractic

One of my favorite research articles highlights the positive impact chiropractic has on overall health. A direct link to this article can be found here

Key points include:

  • “Patients reported significant, positive perceived change in all four domains of health (physical state, mental/emotional state, stress evaluation, life enjoyment), as well as overall quality of life.”
  • “The difference showed positive progressive increases over the duration of care intervals ranging from 2 months to over three years.”
  • “The evidence of improved health in the four domains (physical state, mental/emotional state, stress evaluation, life enjoyment), overall quality of life suggests that care is associated with significant benefits. These benefits are evident from as early as 1-3 months under care, and appear to show continuing clinical improvements in the duration of care intervals studied with no indications of a maximum clinical benefit.”
  • “Individuals free of the complex of factors precipitating from, or leading to, vertebral subluxation experience a greater range of relative health or wellness.”
