Family Care
As
you personally benefit from chiropractic care, you have some new
responsibilities. Among them is to tell others about your experience.
Who better to start with than with your own family?
Chiropractic care has been helping families for years. Many patients
see their chiropractic doctor as their family doctor. That's smart.
The cost of surgery is rising. The adverse reactions to drugs receive
front-page news. Families want safe and natural solutions. More
and more are choosing chiropractic care first.
Family care can start from the very beginning. Babies can benefit
when their pregnant mothers receive chiropractic care. During this
period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic
care. They often report easier births.
Newborns, infants and children can benefit, too. The birth process
may be the cause of our first subluxation! Then, learning to walk,
ride a bike or play sports can produce so-called growing pains.
Ignored, these problems may worsen until they can become more difficult
to correct as an adult.
Car
accidents, work injuries and the stress and strains of our busy
lives can produce subluxations. Periodic chiropractic checkups can
be helpful. Many patients report more energy, vitality and better
overall health.
Seniors enjoying an active retirement stop by our office, too.
Safe and natural chiropractic care makes sense. They see how the
structure of the spine can affect the nervous system and how their
body works.
Regardless of your age or condition, a better working spine is
good for your health. Share your chiropractic experience with others
by starting with those you love.
Why do newborns get chiropractic adjustments?
Even today's "natural" childbirth methods can affect
an infant's spine. Preliminary studies suggest that colic, unusual
crying, poor appetite, ear infections or erratic sleeping habits
can be signs of spinal distress. Relax. Newborn adjustments are
gentle. As a rule, no more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness
of a tomato is involved.
Can I get chiropractic care if I've had back surgery?
Yes. Your chiropractic doctor will avoid areas of your spine surgically
modified. However, surgery often causes instability above or below
the involved level. These "reactions" will be the focus
of your chiropractic care.
Can patients with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. Regardless of your age, size or condition, chiropractic
care can be helpful. The specific needs of each patient are considered.
If yours is not a chiropractic case, we'll refer you to the appropriate
specialist.
