Family Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy
During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joints:
- Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
- Pelvic changes
- Postural adaptations
Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery. This can affect the mother's ability to have a natural, non-invasive birth. Breech and posterior positions can interfere with the natural ease of labor and lead to interventions such as caesarian sections. The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. The doctors at Kim Dynamic Body Chiropractic, P.C. can keep the spine aligned which will help the entire body work more effectively.
Kids & Chiropractic
Kids often have numerous falls or illnesses that compromise the integrity of their structure, thus adversely affecting body function. Often the first trauma of a child's life is birth trauma. Even the "perfect" birth can leave an infant with strain on her cranium or stress on his skeletal structures. A few common conditions that the doctors at Kim Dynamic Body Chiropractic, P.C. regularly treat in children include the following:
- EAR INFECTIONS. Reduced drainage or blockage in the drainage system of the cervical lymphatic channel and Eustachian tubes allow for fluid to build up in the inner ear, making it an inviting environment for bacteria and viruses. Our gentle treatments will allow for increased lymphatic and Eustachian tube drainage.
- ASTHMA. Chiropractic treatments in many cases will improve nerve function and relax neck musculature, which will improve respiratory function and increase lymphatic drainage.
- COLIC. Nerve supply is vital to the proper function of every system in the body, including the stomach, intestines and other abdominal organs. Any interference to the nerves in this area could adversely affect gastric function and result in discomfort, gas and other colic symptoms.
