Regular chiropractic care aids in the health and comfort of a pregnant woman as her body adjusts to accommodate her growing baby. Bi-weekly adjustments can alleviate pain and help keep the pelvis aligned for a smoother delivery. Techniques for adjustments vary based on the gestational age of the baby and the mother’s specific needs.
From delivery of a baby to everyday childhood falls and bumps, spinal segments can shift out of position in kids of all ages, causing a variety of secondary conditions. Children and young adults’ youthful ligaments and muscles enable them to respond particularly quickly and favorably to chiropractic care.
Dr. Matt is trained in child-specific chiropractic care, as it is much different than adult chiropractic care. He uses an instrument that applies low force percussions to slowly move the bone back in place as well as gentle pressure with his fingers. He has adjusted his daughter since birth using these techniques. Getting your child’s spine checked and corrected periodically for any spinal shifts can treat the secondary symptoms and increase his or her overall health and comfort.
