Chiropractic
Pediatric Chiropractic
For all of you pregnant mamas out there, I am also certified in Webster Technique and have taken ICPA courses. I love working with your babies whether they are minutes old, or in their teen years! Adjustments and a healthy spine are crucial for their development.
Just to name a few benefits to pediatric chiropractic:
- Improves sleep – Since chiropractic releases stress in the body, it can improve sleep. This also means it can help address the issue of bed wetting AND reduce headaches from tension, stress or interference of the nervous system.
- Immune System support! This can help with a common cold to an infection. Also it improved their immune functions. By clearing the nervous system it can also improve a child’s digestive system, and target related issues like stomach problems, constipation or reflux
- Better Behavior! Less stress leads to better behavior! No mood swings, no anxiety, no depression. This can help your child function throughout the day.
- Nervous system support! We help the spine develop in the correct way! This prevents and treat certain nervous system issues such as ear infections. Guess what else?! Asthma, allergies, respiratory issues- By aligning the spine the nerves can now keep your child’s respiratory system healthy!
- Brain Development! We help release pressure on the bones, joint and spine. This means great neural brain development! So better concentration, improve focus, reduce hyperactivity and
target conditions such as ADHD.
Perinatal Chiropractic
Benefits of Perinatal Chiropractic
- Decreased pain during pregnancy – Throughout your pregnancy journey, your body will begin to innately shift to house and birth your precious little one/ones! Your body will begin to release a hormone called relaxin. Relaxin does exactly what it sounds like. It relaxes the ligaments within your body to make room for your baby. While the ligaments begin to release, muscles will begin to tighten. This can cause hip pain, back pain, headaches, and sciatica! If you experience any of these during pregnancy, our team is here to help!
- Postpartum recovery – After giving birth, our #1 priority is getting mama back in the game! During the first few months of postpartum recovery, your focus will likely be to ensure your little one is healthy and thriving. This is where we come in. Our focus is to make sure that YOU are healthy and thriving! Afterall, in order to give the best care to your baby we need to make sure that you’re receiving the best care, too!
- Breastfeeding latch – If breastfeeding is painful for you or your little one is having trouble latching on, our team is here to help. Breastfeeding is a beautiful way to bond with your baby while giving them the nutrients they need! Painful latch or inability to latch can stem from tongue ties, torticollis, and subluxations. Breastfeeding is a joint effort between you and your baby, and we want to make sure you have the best outcome with each session for optimal milk production and painless latching.
- Pregnancy planning – If you are currently planning to start your family, we are here to help you. Our office will help you navigate and curate the perfect birth plan for your family. We will also remove any interference from your nervous system to prepare your body for this exciting phase!
Animal Chiropractic
Key points for horses and pets:
- Treat chronic musculoskeletal problems
- Treat acute problems such as tension or stiffness
- Treat prophylactic treatment to maintain fitness and performance
- Maintain soundness in your older or senior animals
- Enhance performance ability of your sport animal
- Create or maintain a “pep” in their step
*Here’s a little secret- HORSES and PETS LOVE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS!*
My technique for horses STRAIGHT CHIROPRACTIC. I use both diversified/manual and mallet if needed. I also use RockBlades to break down fascial restrictions (think of peeling an orange: the white stuff under the skin is the fascia) as well as Equiptape if needed. This help create more lymph flow as well as better circulation, and flushes out any sort of adhesions or scar tissue.
For small animals such as your dog or cat, I do manual adjustments as well as activator. I always have them tell me what they prefer most by introducing both. My big dogs love activator, but my little guy is scared of the sound so I perform manual on him. I can perform the RockBlades on small animals as well to help the fascia “glide” and reduce restriction. And if needed we can kinetic tape them with our RockTape to flush out inflammation and increase lymph drainage.
