From Black Friday to Subluxation Tuesday




Black Friday – Small Business Saturday – Cyber Monday = Subluxation Tuesday!

With all of the over-eating, stress of the holidays in general, and running around to find the perfect gift you may find that you are a bit subluxated in  your spine. This may manifest as discomfort, dis-ease, dysfunction, stiffness, or even pain.
IT may be traumatic like picking up a heavy box improperly, fighting the crowds while shopping, stress from family or from being stuck in a traffic jam, or stuffing yourself with holiday treats.
There are so many ways that you may get subluxated it is important to get adjusted on a regular basis.
Regular chiropractic adjustments allow your body to adapt to stresses in your environment so that you are not always caught in that sympathetic (fight or flight) state. When your nervous system is in balance you can go into fight or flight when you need to but you are living in a “rest and digest” state more often than not. This is when healing takes place, on a cellular level.
Genuine Chiropractic is here to support you during the stresses of the holiday season but even more important we are here for you and your family throughout the year.
Do not let the month of December take over your life and cause you to get sick. Maintain your  chiropractic adjustment schedule, eat treats in moderation, get plenty of sleep, and enjoy this special time of the year.

In health,
Dr. Elizabeth Wisniewski

Organic Soup Kitchen of Santa Barbara




This morning we volunteered for the Organic Soup Kitchen www.organicsoupkitchen.org helping them prep vegetables for their Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. They are cooking over 100 turkeys and serving over 1000 people. OSK is truly an amazing organization and has lovely staff, volunteers, and community that it serves.
Make it a part of your practice, not just during the holidays, to serve the community. Find an organization that is congruent with your beliefs and serve from an open heart space.
The team at Genuine Chiropractic is so thrilled to have OSK as a community partner and feels honored to serve alongside these amazing individuals every day.

IN gratitude,
Dr. Elizabeth Wisniewski

Go for the Goal




What are your goals? Instead of thinking that your goal is to lose weight or get out of pain think about your goals in a different way!
If you were out of pain or you dropped 25 lbs. what would you be able to do differently? If you were in perfect health how would your life be different?
Obviously living a pain-free life is very important to many people or on the flip side – people often “get use to” the pain and never get to fully experience their life. Many times, with chronic pain, people are living in a constant sympathetic state (fight or flight) and they do not know what they are missing.
My goal is to have every person living the life they have imagined. To be expressing their full and optimal genetic potential as a happy, healthy, and productive member of the community.
