Chiropractic is the largest alternative health care discipline in the world. It is a scientifically based method of identifying stresses to the nervous system called subluxations, which can lead to dysfunctional changes in the body. These functional stresses over time can result in symptoms within the body.
Chiropractic adjustments restore normal nerve function, thereby, allowing the body to innately heal and return to a higher level of performance. Traditionally, it's known to effectively treat headaches, neck and back pain but its benefits are more extensive.
Chiropractic is safe, natural and effective in the optimization of human potential. Adjustments can be gentle enough for even infants.
Not only is our care safe for the baby and mother, but these gentle spinal adjustments may help to relax tight muscles, tendons and ligaments during pregnancy. Webster's Technique is a technique that enables the breech child to turn in utero by means of reducing uterine and lumbo-sacral muscle imbalances. It is these imbalances, which are believed to result in part to fetal malpositioning. It is for this reason why our Moms experience their babies turning and aligning, comfortably and naturally, for the birthing process. Many of our mothers choose to be evaluated for spinal and pelvic imbalances weeks following delivery to ensure the return of proper structural and mechanical balance.
Mothers will often bring their infants in to be evaluated for subluxations that may arise from the birth process. Delivering a child can result in subluxation stressors to the mother and child. Infant stress may manifest as: A colicky child, ear infections, lowered immunity, postural imbalances and spinal curvatures years later, insomnia, feeding difficulty, excessive crying, vomiting, and much more. Studies have shown that an unhealthy spine and nervous system causes "many clinical features from central motor impairment to lower resistance to infections -- especially ear, nose and throat infections." - JAOA
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is a common complaint and, unfortunately, many suffer with it needlessly. It is best helped by utlilizing the benefits of dentistry and chiropractic. It can be caused by dental conditions or TMJ dysfunction or both, which is most likely.
The TM joint is surrounded by muscle and ligamentous tissue, which sometimes become imbalanced resulting in dysfunction, malalignment of the jaw and teeth, then ultimately pain. These malalignments can result from head trauma, neck injuries from whiplash, or overuse symdromes. Chiropractic care can restore the function and soft-tissue balance to this joint, alleviating the symptoms.
Headaches and migraines are among the most common disorders of the human nervous system worldwide. In 2015, migraine and severe headache were the fifth leading health
complaint among consumers worldwide. In the United States, over 15 percent of all adults complain about severe headaches or migraines.
The neuromuscular and skeletal basis of chiropractic makes it the ideal therapy to treat the cause
of headaches and migraines. Because of the multitude of
possible causes of headaches, a thorough evaluation and history can discover the actual cause of the headaches resulting in the most effective treatment.
Many have benefited from chiropractic care for conditions like muscular strains, facet syndrome, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and often disc bulges or herniations.
Multiple research studies, over decades, have repeatedly demonstrated the effectiveness of chiropractic care over that of medicine and other therapies, for the treatment of back and neck pain. These results are shown to have longer lasting benefits and quicker returns to work or normal activities.
The benefits of care are farther reaching than just pain relief. Some of the incidental benefits of treatment include mental clarity, increased energy, improved digestion, and decreased sick days.
