I get it. I really do.
As a mom, it feels like your whole world revolves around your family. Your baby needs you. Your partner needs you. The laundry never ends. And let’s not even talk about the dishes, the errands, or the ever-growing to-do list.
I’m Dr. Hebdon — a chiropractor here in Dickson, TN, and also a new mom myself — and I’ve been right there in that overwhelmed, “I’ll get to me later” place. But let me tell you something I’ve learned the hard way: pushing yourself to the bottom of your own list doesn’t help anyone.
The Appointment That Changed Everything
After giving birth, I was juggling a newborn, a healing body, a business, and more emotions than I could count. I kept putting off getting adjusted — because I didn’t have time, or I felt guilty, or it just didn’t feel urgent.
But once I finally made it in for my own appointment, I was reminded of something so simple and so powerful:
When I take care of me, I can take better care of everyone else.
That one adjustment didn’t just ease my back pain — it cleared the fog. It gave me energy. It helped me breathe easier and move better. And that ripple effect touched everything — how I parented, how I slept, how I showed up.
Why Moms Need to Prioritize Their Health
You don’t have to be in crisis to need care. You don’t have to “deserve” a break. Your health is worth protecting right now. In fact, the earlier you start, the more resilient and grounded you’ll feel in the chaos of motherhood.
Making time for your appointments — whether it’s chiropractic care, pelvic floor therapy, counseling, or just a quiet cup of coffee by yourself — isn’t selfish. It’s preventative, protective, and powerful.
How We Make It Easier at Hebdon Chiropractic
I know how hard it can be to get out of the house with a baby (or two). That’s why at Hebdon Chiropractic, we make care as accessible and stress-free as possible:
-
Kid-friendly space (bring your baby — we don’t mind a little noise!)
-
Flexible scheduling, including short and efficient visits
-
Personalized care that meets you exactly where you are
-
A judgment-free environment — I’m a mom too, remember?
Even 10–15 minutes on our table can help reset your body, reduce pain, and reconnect you to you.
A Gentle Reminder From One Mom to Another
You wouldn’t let your child go weeks in pain. You wouldn’t let your partner suffer through chronic tension without a solution. So why is it so easy to let ourselves go untouched, unhealed, and unsupported?
Here’s your permission slip: Make the appointment.
Then keep it.
Show up.
You’re worth it — and your family deserves the healthiest version of you.
If you’re in the Dickson area and ready to reclaim even a small piece of your wellness, I’d love to see you in the office. Let’s make space for you again.
With care (and zero guilt),
Dr. Hebdon
