WELCOME TO CRAM CHIROPRACTIC - YOUR DEWITT CHIROPRACTOR
Chiropractic care is for EVERYONE, from a baby who was just born to the very old. Some of the most common questions we have are about adjusting during pregnancy and adjusting infants. Read below to find out how chiropractic care can help with pregnancy and provide the best opportunity for a healthy, happy baby.
During pregnancy a woman's body changes dramatically, causing shifts in weight, posture, and gait and causes added stress to the spine. During pregnancy, a mother's body is in control of growing the baby, and we want her body to be functioning optimally. This makes it vital for a woman to maintain the integrity of her spine before and throughout her pregnancy. At Cram Chiropractic, we use the Gonstead Technique which employs special adjusting tables and modifications used for each stage of pregnancy to ensure the most accurate and safe adjustments. In fact, adjustments are so safe that care can continue until the day of delivery. One area of special concern during pregnancy is the pelvis. A properly aligned pelvis allows sufficient space for the developing baby and quicker and easier delivery. Regular chiropractic care, in combination with other healthy habits, provides the best opportunity for a healthy, happy baby.
Many times the the first subluxation (misalignment) is caused by the traction and twisting of the baby's spine during birth. It's crucial that every parent have their newborn's spine checked for the presence of nerve irritation and vertebral subluxation. Studies have shown that children under chiropractic care reported fewer ear infections, fewer allergies, less tonsillitis, and less need for medical treatment, including a reduced need for antibiotics, as well as great results with colic, asthma, ear infection, headache, back pain, and learning and behavioral impairments. As children grow they get more adventurous - they climb, they jump, they tumble. Chances are high that they've developed a vertebral subluxation and need to be checked by a chiropractor. At Cram Chiropractic in DeWitt, we are able to modify the chiropractic adjustment based on the patient's size and condition. Infants require only a very slight and gentle adjustment, and unlike in adults, the subluxations have been in existence only a short amount of time so they typically respond to care very quickly. Seemingly minor uncorrected spinal problems in childhood become significant problems in adulthood.
Chiropractic care for infants and children is safe, gentle, and most importantly, effective.
