Dr. Marilyn D.C. is a Webster certified, pediatric chiropractor. Did you know that Chiropractic care can help if your baby is breech? By aligning the pelvis we create space for baby to turn if baby wants to. Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More women and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care in pregnancy and recognize this area of expertise through Webster Certification. Receiving regular chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy can help reduce labor time and pain by up to 60%. Not only reducing pain, chiropractic will help the mom's body be in optimal positioning for the birthing process. 

Chiropractic care can alleviate pain.

A chiropractor will work on spinal alignment to create better functioning and stability of the pelvic region

Chiropractic care can ease pregnancy nausea.

The spinal cord and spinal nerves control every single function and organ in the body including the nerves that would control morning sickness or constant nausea. 

Chiropractic care can help reposition the baby.

If the baby doesn’t have enough room, or is presenting in the breech position, we’ll work on pelvic alignment and the ligaments and muscles in the pelvic region to decrease any intrauterine constraint, allowing for a more optimal position for delivery. This can help move the head down and give the baby more space for birth.

Chiropractic care can reduce the length of time you’re in labor.

Chiropractors believe this is because of better alignment in the pelvic region, which decreases intrauterine constraint and allows the baby to pass through the labor canal with more ease.

Chiropractic care can help with postpartum pain. 

From the miracle of birth comes different types of aches or pains related to pregnancy, birth or the postpartum experience. 

Children experience both physical and emotional stress early in their lives. They have to learn and discover how to move about in the world as they grow and develop. You may not realize it yet, but sending your kids to a chiropractor can significantly help them manage stress and grow healthier. Healthier kids means healthier adults. Chiropractic care is not exclusive to adults only. Some chiropractors have undergone specialized training to provide gentle care for infants and children known as Webster technique. Pediatric chiropractic care can improve sleeping habits, address behavioral issues, and boost the immune system of kids, so they can better fight off and prevent sickness.

So How can Chiropractic care help?

Dr. Marilyn D.C. is a Webster certified, pediatric chiropractor. Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth.

Children need to learn how to crawl, walk, run, and stumble as they develop their bodies. They play a lot and discover things about the world as they grow. These physical activities may stress out and damage a child’s musculoskeletal system. At an early age, their fragile bodies are prone to misalignments and subluxations. These can potentially harm their optimal health and lead to infections, headaches, respiratory problems, and other illnesses. Chiropractors can help alleviate these issues. They are trained to correct these misalignments to help improve a child’s overall health and wellness.

Adjustments release pressure on the spine, bones, and joints to improve a child’s neural brain development. These help them secure their body’s proper development and also alleviate any muscle tensions that may lead to various health conditions and physical issues.

Chiropractic adjustments for children aren't what you think, though. Think of testing a tomato for ripeness, you apply a gentle pressure. A chiropractic adjustment for a baby is about the same amount of pressure, very gentle and super effective. 

Many people assume that visiting a chiropractor is only beneficial for someone recovering from an injury or for someone who suffers from back pain; however, chiropractic care can benefit the entire family, and it is a great way to stay proactive in your healthcare. 

One of the top benefits of implementing a chiropractic regimen is that it increases your body's functions. Your brain and your spinal cord control every single function and organ in the body from the temperature of your skin to the way you digest your food, process information and regulate stress. You can literally expedite healing with regular Chiropractic care. Visiting a chiropractor is often highly effective, as the goal is to treat the root cause of the problem instead of simply focusing on the various symptoms you may be experiencing. Here at Shore Chiropractic we understand the importance of providing chiropractic care for the entire family. We can help bring your body back into a natural state of healing.  

Chiropractic care can be a safe and practical non-invasive treatment for elder patients with certain medical conditions. All medical professionals must make accommodations in the treatment of older patients because of changes to neurological and musculoskeletal systems that come with aging. Clinical research has shown the many ways the human body can recuperate and recover with the aid of chiropractic care. Proper alignment of the spine can help to improve the flexibility and mobility of the body. And because of the spine’s relation to the neuromuscular system, other systems of the body can see improvement as well.

Care for you without the side effects

Prescribed medications you take to deal with aches and pains simply mask the actual problem while causing other serious side effects. Chiropractic is an all natural, safe alternative.

Increased mobility in the spine and joints.

Don’t let aches hold you back from the daily activities you previously enjoyed. Chiropractic treatment will allow you to move more comfortably by reducing pains in your back and joints.

Improve balance and coordination.

Injury to the back as well as degeneration of joints and tissues can reduce your ability to stay balanced and complete steady movements. Spinal adjustment will allow you to improve your coordination and overall body positioning.

Decrease degeneration of the spine.

Misalignment of the spine can wear out joints and degenerate the bones of the spine. With proper positioning, bone and joint health will not diminish.

Increased mood and quality of life.

With less time focused on pain, energy can go towards living life fully. Enjoy the little things in life like gardening, playing with your grandchildren, and having an easier time while shopping.

Reduce the risk of falling.

The improvement in mobility, posture, and overall body strength makes you less susceptible to accidental falls that can cause serious fractures. Protect your body by seeking spinal alignment and live life without the fear of serious injuries.

Many people wait until an injury occurs to visit our office, but the truth is that you can, and should, seek chiropractic care before pain strikes. In fact, visiting a chiropractor may even help your athlete prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

Left untreated, these symptoms may progress, making them more difficult to manage.
