Should your baby see a chiropractor?

Chiropractic care can be very helpful for babies, toddlers, and children of all ages. 

A baby’s spine can become misaligned at birth. Even the most natural birth can be traumatic to a baby’s spine. As babies begin to grow and develop, spinal misalignments (or subluxations) can occur from being held or placed in the same position repeatedly, from being dropped or falling off of a bed or changing table, or from falling when learning to crawl and walk. When a segment of the spine is misaligned, the nerves coming from that area aren’t able to function the way they normally would.  

Since our nervous system helps to control all aspects of our body’s function, your baby may present with a variety of symptoms because of a spinal misalignment. These symptoms can range from ear infections, colic, constipation, sinus infections, reflux, fussiness, lowered immune system, difficulty crawling, and many other conditions. 

As a chiropractor, my goal is not to treat a specific illness, but rather to correct spinal misalignments and allow the nervous system to function at its best. 

Chiropractic care for babies is very gentle and can be very helpful to help keep your baby happier and healthier!

Pregnancy and Chiropractic

Pregnancy should be a wonderful and joyful time in a woman’s life; however, I see many pregnant mom’s who are so uncomfortable that they are unable to fully enjoy the blessing God has given them. 

Many moms-to-be have back pain, hip pain, sciatica, difficulty walking, headaches, and just a general feeling of being uncomfortable. Chiropractic can help with these problems, as well as improve overall well-being. 

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, allowing the nervous system to function freely and helping to create balance in the muscles and ligaments around these joints. 

Women who include chiropractic care as part of their prenatal health may experience fewer aches and pains, easier labors, and better fetal positioning.  This can lead to a happier and healthier pregnancy for both mom and baby!

Chiropractic: Not just back pain, neck pain, and headaches

When most people hear the word chiropractic, they typically think of back pain, neck pain, and headaches. But, chiropractic is so much more than this! When a chiropractor is feeling your back, they are checking for something called a subluxation. 

A subluxation is a misalignment in your spine that causes the nerves in that area to not function properly. When your spinal nerves aren’t functioning at their optimal level then whatever is supplied by that nerve can’t function at its best either. Since every cell, tissue, and organ in our body is controlled by our nervous system, a misalignment in your spine can result in various symptoms and conditions. 

Not only do these possible symptoms include back pain, neck pain, and headaches, but you may have other issues such as allergies, frequent sinus congestion, constipation, other digestive complaints, muscle aches or weakness, infertility, and the list goes on and on. 

Only a small percentage of a nerve fiber detects pain and transmits that signal to our brains, so you may not necessarily feel pain when there is interference with your nervous system. On the other hand, if you are feeling pain in a specific area then its likely that other things are also being affected by that same nerve, but the pain is your body’s way of letting you know that something isn’t right. 

With all this being said, as a chiropractor my goal is not to treat your individual symptoms but rather to find and correct the subluxations in your spine so your body can perform at it’s optimal level, the way it was created to function. Remember, the power that made the body, heals the body!
