At AllCare Chiropractic, we believe true wellness isn’t just about treating symptoms, it’s about nurturing the whole person. Your spine may be the physical backbone of your body, but your healing journey is supported by something deeper: your daily rituals, your breath, your nervous system and the intentional choices you make every day.


That’s why we’re passionate about combining the science of chiropractic care with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to support healing that feels aligned, sustainable and sacred.


What Happens During a Chiropractic Visit?

Every time you receive an adjustment, we’re doing more than just aligning vertebrae. We’re working with your nervous system — the body’s command center. A properly functioning spine supports better mobility, clearer communication between your brain and body and even a calmer stress response.

But healing doesn’t stop when you leave the office. That’s where self-care steps in.


Ayurveda: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Ritual

Ayurveda, often translated as “the science of life,” is an ancient healing system from India that emphasizes balance of mind, body, spirit and environment. It honors your unique constitution (dosha), your connection to nature, and the power of daily rhythms.

When paired with chiropractic care, Ayurvedic practices act like a tuning fork, helping your body stay in harmony between adjustments.


Ayurvedic Self-Care Tools We Love:

1. Abhyanga (Self-Massage). A daily warm oil massage calms the nervous system, improves circulation, and helps detoxify tissues. It’s grounding, especially before or after an adjustment.

2. Herbal Support. Ayurvedic herbs like ashwagandha (for resilience), turmeric (for inflammation) and triphala (for digestion) support your body’s healing processes from the inside out.

3. Breath & Meditation. Gentle breathwork (pranayama) and meditation help shift you from “fight-or-flight” into “rest-and-digest” — the state where your body can repair and restore.

4. Warm, Nourishing Meals. Following Ayurvedic seasonal guidelines, eating warm, spiced, easy-to-digest meals supports your gut, which plays a major role in immunity, mood and inflammation.

5. Rhythmic Rituals. Whether it’s dry brushing, sipping warm water or journaling at sunrise, daily rituals create safety in the nervous system. And when your body feels safe, it’s more receptive to healing.


The AllCare Approach: Gentle, Intentional, Whole

Dr. Whitney Shoults and the AllCare team understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Some people need more grounding. Others need energy. Some need to be reminded it’s okay to rest.

That’s why we offer care that’s more than clinical. We take the time to understand your rhythms, your stress levels and your capacity. And we offer support — in the form of chiropractic adjustments, mindfulness recommendations, herbal remedies, Ayurvedic self-care products and nervous system education — to help you reclaim your sense of balance.


Healing Happens Daily

Your healing is not reserved for appointments. It’s happening in the small moments: when you breathe deeply, when you choose rest, when you nourish your body with intention, and when you show up for yourself with compassion.

Chiropractic care clears the path. Ayurveda gives you the tools to walk it.
