According to a recent study by Viola Frymann, an American osteopathic doctor, she studied over 1500 babies periodically over an 8 year period. She examined all babies within the first 5 days with most being checked within the first 24 hours. She found that 90% of babies had cervical and/or cranial strain at birth. Yikes!

Birth is tough work for mothers and babies. There are a lot of forces being exerted onto baby even in the most natural of births. Natural forces are one thing, but today, medical intervention is an added stressor to the birthing process whether it be induction with chemicals, medications during pregnancy and just after birth, tools for extraction, fear based care, disempowerment to mother, etc. etc. These cause trauma to baby and mother physically, emotionally, and chemically adding even more stress to the spine and nervous system. The good news is that chiropractic care can help heal those traumas immediately. By receiving chiropractic care from birth, these issues can be addressed early, promoting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function as the child grows.

Have you ever woken up one morning, and had pain in the neck and trouble with moving it in one direction or all? You probably thought or said “I must have slept wrong”!

Usually it's a culmination of stressors that include physical stress, toxic stress, and mental stress. Over time these stressors build up until you finally meet your threshold, then one morning you wake up and your body has clearly had enough. The pseudo-torticollis in your neck is where it all presents itself.

The history of chiropractic began in 1895, when Daniel David Palmer performed an adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard. Palmer noticed in an examination that a Lillard had a vertebra that was out of position and he performed a spinal adjustment. Lillard’s hearing was restored and the word began to spread about the power of a spinal adjustment.

Hippocrates, the Greek physician known as the “Father of Medicine,” who lived from 460 B.C. to 357 B.C. said, “Get knowledge of the spine for this is the requisite for many diseases.”

Did you know that I use leg length evaluation to see if there is tension in the nervous system? Leg length analysis is a neurological check, not a structural check. If there is an imbalance, then tension is present in the nervous system. It doesn’t tell me exactly where the tension is coming from, just that it is present.

A person does not need a direct blow to the head in order to get a concussion.

Only 10% of concussion cases lose consciousness. The other 90% do not.
