"Providers need to go beyond simply providing care. They need to explain the value of birth preparation and birth skills, and encourage families to become self-...empowered for birth. This allows women and their partners to take full responsibility for their birthwhich is the only way to shift the power from an external authority to the individual." -Justin Ohm, DC Excerpt from Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine issue 71, "Trust in Practice".

"To everyone who thinks chiropractic is about headaches and low back pain- it’s so much more than that. Chiropractic restores and maintains the neural communica...tion pathways between the brain and the body so the body has the ability to self-heal. When there is a breakdown in that communication, dis-ease occurs in the cell/tissue/organ supplied by that neural energy. Breakdown of physical matter leads to dis-ease, of which pain is a symptom. It is similar thinking to that of a garden hose when there is a kink in the hose, water can’t get from point A to point B and the flowers never get watered. When your brain and body fail to have proper communication, the tissue supplied by that affected nerve begins to die and manifestation of dis-ease sets in. Chiropractic has nothing to do with cracking backs and everything to do with the maintenance of a homeostatic environment that promotes health and fights sickness. Pain relief is also a proven benefit of being under care, but not the sole intent of an adjustment. We don’t take credit for the healing, but rather allow your body to achieve an internal environment where it can heal itself. Do you have to ask or direct your skin to heal a cut? There is an innate intelligence inside all of us that strives to be alive and well- the body is an amazing thing capable of self-healing when the circumstance allows it. Don’t get swept up in the medical paradigm of chasing symptoms- you don’t want to treat symptoms anyway, you want to fix the problem. Chiropractors are skilled at finding the root cause of dis-ease so that you get back to true health and avoid drugs, surgeries, and other unnecessary interventions. The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. Sounds about right " -Kayci Cleveland Obarr

All four of my kids are extremely athletic and engage in multiple sports. They tend to ask to be checked on a regular basis. I've never forced them to get checked. They ask for it, because they enjoy it. - Dr. Justin Ohm

"Telling parents that babies 'want to look where they are going' is one such marketing ploy that created these outward-facing carriers. Unfortunately, the marke...ting is unsubstantiated by facts, and the position is not better for the baby. In truth, this practice has some major drawbacks for the baby’s developing neurology and structure." -Jeanne Ohm, DC https://pathwaystofamilywellness.org//seven-reasons-to-not

"What if, instead, we consciously choose what we subject our mind to? What if we choose to continually connect the brain in our heads to the brain in our hearts?" -Jeanne Ohm, DC https://pathwaystofamilywellness.org//a-message-from-our-e

"We have only ever been taught that babies cry because they are hungry or need to have a diaper change. We have never been told that babies communicate to us ab...out the stresses and traumas they encountered during birth, and that empathic listening can help them release that stress." -Matthew Appleton, MA "Birth Trauma: A Cultural Blind Spot" https://bit.ly/2Yk8zus

"Today, I believe we’re all going through a birth. A birth in our social, religious, economic, legal, and healthcare systems, from an older paradigm to something new..." -Jeanne Ohm, DC The Greater Power In Birth: https://bit.ly/33RPZh0
