Pregnancy & Pediatrics
April 20th 6:00pm at Bridges Restaraunt, Dr. Jamey & Dr. Amanda will be holding Pregnancy, Birth & Babies Workshop with Midwife Dionne Corcoran CMP, LM. We will be discussing Pregnancy, Birthing & Babies! Husbands, spouses, sisters, moms, friends & significant others are welcome to attend. Join Us!
At King Family Chiropractic Wellness & Sensory Development Center, we are a family-focused wellness center. That means we feel that the next-generation is a big part of the health of our community. Dr. Jamey & Dr. Amanda are so commited to children that they are currently pursuing their Certification in Chiropractic Pediatrics (CCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). They have recently become certified in the Webster's Technique.
We understand that the health of a pregnant mother is critical because the care we provide affects both mom and the unborn child in ways far beyond pain relief. To have a safe & natural pregnancy and delivery, we must emphasize the importance of healthy choices made by both parents before conception, during the pregnancy, and through out the child's life. This is where chiropractic can help a mother function at 100% of her potential by having a nervous system free of distrubance, a properly aligned spine and pelvis for "wiggle room" which allows essential inter-utero development. By allowing for proper spine and pelvic alignment throughout pregnancy, chiropractic care can improve the ability of the mother to have a safe and natural birth process.
Unfortunatelly, the "modern" birth and delivery methods are far from natural (aka intervention free), and probably the most traumatic experience a person will ever go through in their lifetime. Often times, pregnancy is seen as a medical "condition" to be treated, rather than the natural and safe process that it is.
A woman's body is designed perfectly for a natural and safe delivery, and complications generally only arise when the mother is functioning at less than 100%. Our goals, as chiropractors, are to help that mother acheive as close to 100% function as possible, in a safe, effective and natural way.
Due to the increasing rates of c-sections, high infant mortality, birth complications, and poor infant health, Dr. Jamey & Dr. Amanda feel that it is very important for children to be checked for Subluxation as soon after birth as possible. Subluxation is a misalignment or lack of motion in the spine that results in stress and Dis-Ease, or ill-health in the body. The birth process is a very common cause of Subluxation, especially a birth process resulting in many interventions. Chiropractors are the only health profession trained to detect and correct subluxation, and by doing so help to ensure your child doesn't start life in a state of ill health or dis-ease.
As children grow, they do what children do... they roll, crawl, walk, run, play, jump, and fall. By the time your child is 5 years old, that child has commonly suffered as many as 5,000+ falls. It has been said that a child undergoes enough falls in one day that would put an adult to the hospital. Many of these falls often result in subluxations (misalignments and detours in the brain-body connection with in the nervous system) which if caught early can be more easily corrected as the child grows.
Another essential part of our pregnancy/pediatric care is providing parents with all the information they need concerning health and wellness. From child nutrition, exercise, ADHD, diabetes prevention, stress reduction or anything else, Dr. Jamey & Dr. Amanda are committed to providing you with complete wellness education that gives you the answers you need!
If you feel your child has any signs of subluxation, please contact us to find out what you can do about it. Posture is a very telling sign of the health of a child’s spine, if your child has poor posture please do not hesitate to call us. Many pediatric visits to the chiropractor are due to ear infections, allergies, asthma, attention problems, bed-wetting, back/neck pain and headaches. Although, chiropractic is not a form of treatment for any of these conditions, we find that a many of these symptoms may subside when the child is subluxation free. Remember the old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and its better to start young so your child can grow and function at 100% and truly be well.
