Why do infants and children need chiropractic care? For so many reasons! The first trauma we will experience in life is being born. Even the most natural and gentle deliveries will cause subluxations (misalignments) in their spine, especially in their necks. This can lead to difficulty in nursing, latching on, colic, constipation, diarrhea, excessive spitting up, difficulty sleeping, and more. A gentle, low-force Chiropractic adjustment will help correct that subluxation and restore proper nerve function in the body, allowing the body to heal itself and function without interference.

 

As children start to crawl, pull themselves up and eventually walk, their bodies will experience many falls and small traumas/injuries on a daily basis, causing subluxations again. Chiropractic adjustments will help to correct those subluxations, allowing their bodies to function without impingement on their nerve function.

 

As children get older, they may become involved in sports. Every practice they have and game they participate in will open the door for more subluxations. Adolescents will also have to have their bodies adapt to sitting even more for school and homework time. When they start to get tired, their posture loses its proper form, causing them to slouch more. This constant slouching puts extra strain on the body, particularly the neck and mid-back. Chiropractic adjustments will work to correct those subluxations, allowing the nerve system to function properly and help to improve their posture.

 

Chiropractic care is vital for all children. Regular Chiropractic care will help allow the body to function at its optimal level. Many children who receive regular Chiropractic adjustments will often experience the benefit of a healthy and high functioning immune system as well!

Dr. Ryan is Webster Certified through ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) and is actively pursuing his Perinatal Certification. What is the Webster Technique? The Webster technique is designed to analyze and adjust the woman’s pelvis to reduce sacral subluxation (joint dysfunction), improving the function of the pelvis. This treatment ensures optimal room for your baby to grow and optimal nerve supply to help them develop to their full potential! 

Most women will experience discomfort at some point during her pregnancy. Her body is constantly changing, her hips are preparing for delivery and her low back curve becomes more exaggerated due to the growing belly and baby. Regular Chiropractic adjustments throughout pregnancy can help to keep her every changing body in proper alignment. This can eventually lead to a more comfortable pregnancy and transition her body to be ready for a smoother, and potentially shorter, delivery time.

Through our everyday lives our bodies will be affected by thoughts, traumas and toxins. Our thoughts can be positive or negative. Those negative thoughts cause stress in our bodies, which can lead to tightness and subluxations (misalignments) in our spines. Traumas can be small or large injuries that we may incur from time to time. They can be major like a car accident, or more minor like stepping off a curb wrong. Those impacts on the body will cause subluxations as well. Toxins can come from medications, to the foods you eat, to the beauty products you put on your skin. They can all impact the body’s ability to function optimally. Regular Chiropractic care can help remove those subluxations and allow your body to thrive with a healthy nerve system.

 

Dr. Ryan Gutierrez adjusts utilizing the Activator Technique. This technique uses a small, hand-held instrument to help perform the adjustment. The protocol he follows tells him when to adjust, where to adjust, and when not to adjust. This allows him to give a very precise and specific adjustment to only the areas that are subluxated. It also gives him the advantage of adjusting extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, etc.) more easily for the patient. Another benefit of the Activator Technique as that is does not have they typical twisting, pushing, and “popping” you might experience with other methods. It also allows the patient to relax a little more while receiving his/her treatment, often resulting in the adjustment holding better.
