From childcare and school-related needs to elder care, family transitions, and unexpected life events, this session will highlight how caregiving support can help reduce stress and provide clarity during busy seasons. Learn how to access resources, expert guidance, and personalized support to help you feel more confident managing caregiving responsibilities while thriving at work and at home.
Join Dr. Joshua Skaggs for an informative presentation on how modern chiropractic care goes beyond treating back and neck pain. Learn how chiropractic integrates with an advanced primary care model to support whole-body health, when chiropractic care is appropriate, and how services like dry needling, rehabilitation, and pregnancy-safe chiropractic care can help patients of all ages move and feel their best. Whether you’re curious about chiropractic or looking for new ways to improve your health, this session is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more.
The title and description will be added to the calendar invitation once the presenter provides them.
