Pregnancy Care
DURING PREGANCY IT IS IMPORTANT TO
RECEIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE AS THE BODY BECOMES MISALIGNED DUE TO A
SHIFT IN THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE BODY AND SHORTEN LABOR.
Visiting a prenatal chiropractor prepares the pelvis for an
easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in the
bony pelvis, muscles and ligaments. Proper pelvic alignment allows
for a faster labor, with less chance of awkward fetal positioning.
One study showed that women who were adjusted during pregnancy had
25% shorter labors than women who were not. This percentage went up
to 36% in women who were delivering their second or third babies.
Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s center of gravity changes from day
to day, as the belly grows and the spinal curves shift. Many women
look for alternatives to pain medications and drugs during
pregnancy. Pre natal chiropractic care is a safe and natural
alternative for pain relief.
Of course after the baby is
born it is important to make a post partum appointment as well.
WEBSTER TECHNIQUE FOR BREECHED BABIES
A breeched baby does not
mean an automatic C-section. Webster technique is a safe and gentle
adjustment which removes constraint and usually allows the baby to
turn to a head down position. . It is a specific technique to
eliminate subluxation in the sacrum and allow the sacral nerves to
function properly as well as allowing the pelvis to move properly. .
When moms visit the office for Webster technique, they often notice
that a lot of their other pregnancy discomforts disappear as well.”

Pediatric Care
CHILDREN MAY ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AT ANY AGE
OR STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT.
There are a growing number of parents who are seeking
alternative and natural forms of health care for their family.
Chiropractic care for children is a therapy that addresses the
health needs of growing children through natural chiropractic health
care. Although the basic premise for chiropractic care is the same
whether the patient is 80 years old or 8 months old, the
ever-growing and changing active little bodies of children have
distinct needs depending on their stage of development. Children
respond much faster to chiropractic care than adults do. They have
not subjected their bodies to the same years of abuse that we have.
Another major difference is that pain is not a primary system. This
can make it more difficult for parents to know when kids need to
visit their chiropractor. There are certain “clues” that we can
watch for to understand this, such as postural changes, being
off-balance, and running with a limp.
As the child begins to
participate in regular childhood activities like skating or riding a
bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments (subluxations) may
occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth
may lead to more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma
throughout childhood will affect the future development of the spine
leading to impaired nervous system function. Any interference to the
vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability to heal
itself.
Chiropractic for kids will vary as much as
chiropractic for adults The amount of force used and the specific
techniques utilized vary depending on the unique needs of individual
children and what stage of development they are currently in. As
mentioned above, it is often difficult to know when your kids need
to see the chiropractor because they do not generally present with
pain. To help with this issue, we recommend setting regular
Well-Child visits, the same way you would with your dentist and
pediatrician. These help catch minor issues before they turn in to
major problems and allow kids to truly maximize their healthy
potential.
Throughout childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle
offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being.”

Infant and Child Care
Infant Care
THE AMOUNT
OF FORCE USED TO ADJUST AN INFANT IS COMPARABLE TO THE AMOUNT OF
FORCE YOU USE TO TEST A RIPE TOMATO AT THE GROCERY STORE.
It is
never too early to bring your baby to the chiropractor. Infants just
minutes old are often checked by the loving hands of the family
chiropractor and it is not uncommon to stop by the chiropractor’s
office on the way home from the hospital. The birthing process is
physically strenuous for both mom and baby, so it is best to get
them both cared for as soon as possible afterwards.
Even so
called natural birthing can cause stresses on an infant’s spine. The
resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and
cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health
complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep
disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can often be
traced to nerve system stress.
Some conditions seen in adults can
begin in infancy, so get your infant checked!
