Chiropractic is a natural and non-invasive form of health care based on the principle that the body has the innate and inherent ability to heal itself without the use of external interventions, such as drugs or surgery. An individual’s health is either directly or indirectly controlled by the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments remove these interferences (called subluxations) caused by abnormalities in the musculoskeletal relationships of the vertebrae. The nervous system is then able to function properly and optimally, enabling the body to heal through its own natural recuperative powers.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
The most common reason a pregnant mother would seek a chiropractor is because she is experiencing back pain and neck pain. All the physical changes of her body can add up and manifest as excruciating pain. A chiropractor can help decrease some of the aches and pain by checking and adjusting the whole spine and making sure there is structural balance within the mother’s body. One of the most important benefits of regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy is creating the most optimal environment for the baby to grow in the womb. Maintaining the mother’s pelvic alignment allows for the baby to have maximal room to grow.
Many people have no idea how important postpartum chiropractic care is. Once the baby arrives, mom’s attention is focused on caring for the newborn, often at the price of her own health. This postnatal time is the most critical period to heal. With the hormone relaxin still coursing through the body, moms have the advantage to heal, even from the old injuries that were experienced before the pregnancy.
Birth
When the pelvis is out-of-balance it will make labor more difficult, more painful and last longer. This can also lead to a twisting of the uterus, known as intrauterine constraint, which can make it difficult for a baby to get into the best possible position for delivery. Making the pelvis more mobile and symmetrical will make labor faster and easier with less medical interventions, and will help ensure that the baby is in the optimum position for birth.
Keiki (Children)
A keiki’s brain development is rapid and essential, especially during the first couple years of life. Neurological milestones are called as such because a child must achieve them in specific steps in order for proper brain and body development. Keiki who are colicky, crawling abnormally, clumsy, toe-walking, or constantly constipated are showing symptoms of nervous system dysfunction. Chiropractic care can aid in their healing process and ensure their restoration back to optimal health and function.
