Chiropractic Care is Essential Throughout Life
Regular maintenance of our cars extends their life dramatically. We understand the need to invest in the cost, time and attention if we want long life from such a mechanical structure. All physical structures require this kind of attention. Our bodies' have a powerful inbuilt healing and repair mechanism, but if we take this system for granted we many be selling ourselves very short in terms of health.
Chiropractors are trained to unlock the healing powers of the body and to stimulate the processes that can bring a state of wellbeing – Powerful Wellness.
Pregnancy
We have great success with people throughout the different stages of life.
Before birth we care for pregnant mums, creating an optimum environment to provide for the gestation period as well as giving the best possible advantage for the birth process, trying to make it as easy as possible.
New Borns
Birth is one of the most traumatic events we go through in life and our new born check is important. We check the cranial sutures, overall head shape (using gentle cranial chiropractic techniques), pelvic alignment and spinal subluxations which can be the cause of spinal nerve irritation – interrupting the correct nerve function.
This after birth check is a very important way to start life. It can assist with many of the problems experienced by babies in their first months of life such as colic, reflux, feeding problems and disrupted sleeping patterns.
Young Children
All of our chiropractors are trained to use low force, gentle techniques. Children, whilst flexible, undergo a large number of small to medium traumas, which can result in spinal traumas and subluxations.
Many of the spinal complaints that we see in adults had beginnings in childhood.
School Aged Children & Teens
Our bodies were never designed to sit all day, especially those of children. Studies of indigenous cultures show that they do not experience widespread obesity, asthma, postural complaints, skin problems, depression and many of the complaints that are commonplace in our society.
School aged children need regular care and a programme designed to counter the damage produced by years of sitting in non-ergonomic chairs. Our powerful home routine which counteracts your child’s lifestyle is vital for their optimum physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Learning Difficulties and Behavioural Disorders
Our modern lifestyle has encompassed many changes for the developing mind. For the first time in the long history of human existence, a person’s mind can be active watching TV, whilst the spinal nerves are silent.
Our Central Nervous System is designed to send powerful nerve signals from active spinal movement into the brain to balance the emotional, chemical and neurological pathways that function during times of high brain activity that is created when viewing action or emotional scenes.
It is believed that this balance is essential in creating the balance that promotes higher levels of cortical function and efficient learning.
Like all pathways in the body, when the pathways deep inside the brain are used regularly they will become sensitised and will fire easily. This can be an advantage or disadvantage. If the learning centres are stimulated with the positive, powerful nerve signals associated with good spinal motion then learning is stimulated.
If the balance of these pathways changes, then emotional centres and cognitive or learning centres will fire at inappropriate times, reducing the ability for learning and negatively affecting behaviour.
These pathways, together with a growing amount of toxins and pesticides in foods and a reduction in overall nutrients in our food has a negative and destructive effect on children’s ability to concentrate, learn and behave.
At Work
Most work roles today fit into a number of different categories; those who sit all day, those who stand with only small amounts of walking and those who work physically hard.
Modern lifestyle is as hard on your spine and central nervous system as it is on your teeth.
Retired
When retirement comes we often look forward to the future, with a certain level of apprehension. We all know of those in nursing homes with reduced spinal motion and poor posture and this all too often characterises the elderly.
These changes did not occur overnight; rather they changed over a long period of time with spinal restriction and postural deformity being formed by ligamentous, muscular and bony changes – a dysfunction over the process of time.
Everything should be done to try to reduce these processes that bring real change to your quality of life.
