Quality Family Care

There is only one healer and that is your body itself. Your body knows how to mend itself if it is allowed to do so. We assist this healing process beginning with:

	A private consultation discussing symptoms and medical history.
	X-ray by a bio-mechanics system designed for chiropractic purposes.
	A thorough examination of regions involved.
	Diagnosis of patient condition and development of an appropriate treatment and exercise program.

Children's Chiropractic

Childhood is full of falls, bumps, twists, jumps, etc. Each one has the potential to push your child's spine out of alignment.

Chiropractic is a gentle, safe and conservative way to help your child grow into a healthy lifestyle.

Ear Infections

Ear infection or otitis media accounts for over 35% of all visits to the pediatrician in the United States. Antibiotics, is the usual treatment, but are not always effective and may even lead to a recurrence of ear infections. Many children deal with a continuing cycle of repeat ear infections, which lands them back at the pediatrician for more antibiotics.

Constipation in Kids

Most children will periodically become constipated. The problem is usually short-lived. It does not cause long-term problems. Home treatment is usually all that is needed to relieve periodic constipation. Causes of constipation include:

	Adult foods. Constipation may also occur if your child drinks an excessive amount of cow's milk. This happens most often in children younger than age 2.
	Not drinking enough fluids. Sometimes the normal amount of fluid a child drinks is not enough, such as when the weather gets hot or the child increases his or her physical activities.
	Not taking the time to have a bowel movement. A child may be so interested in play that he or she ignores the need to have a bowel movement.
	Reluctance to use the bathroom. A child might become constipated when he or she is in a new environment, such as when traveling.
	Changes in daily routine, such as when traveling or after starting school.
	Medications:. Many medications can cause constipation

Pregnancy

Chiropractic care benefits all aspects of your body's ability to be healthy. This is accomplished by working with the nervous system--the conduit of intelligence between your brain and body. Doctors of Chiropractic work to correct subluxations (misalignments) of the individual spinal bones. When subluxated, these bones put pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerves causing malfunction in any part of the body and imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments.

Sacral subluxation causes the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments producing uterine constraint. It is these tense muscles and ligaments and their constraining effect on the uterus which prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the vertex position. The Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system, facilitates balance in the pelvic and abdominal muscles and ligaments, which in turn reduces constraint to the woman’s uterus allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position.

Any position of the baby other than vertex may indicate the presence of sacral subluxation and therefore result in intrauterine constraint. It is strongly recommended by instructors of this technique, that this specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum be used throughout pregnancy, to detect imbalance and prevent intrauterine constraint.

Because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions, pregnant mothers should have their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, allowing for safer, easier deliveries and optimized health benefits for both the mother and baby.
