When we are young our bodies have plenty of potential to compensate successfully, allowing us to recover quickly from injury and not be noticeably affected by other stresses in our lives. As we age and experience more stress, our ability to continue compensating successfully diminishes to a point where one more small event or movement can cause serious pain and debility impacting negatively on how we live and enjoy life.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to avoid this? Well, there is!

Chiropractic adjustments remove the patterns of compensation that increase your risk of experiencing pain and injury.

Better still, like brushing your teeth daily and visiting the dentist and hygienist to keep your teeth and gums looking and feeling their best, regular chiropractic adjustments will help your nervous system function at its best. This will have a positive impact on your sense of wellbeing and keep you involved in all the work and leisure activities that are so important to your life.

Chiropractic for Kids?

People are often surprised when they learn that children get chiropractic care as well as adults. Everyone needs a properly functioning nervous system to feel and do their best.

The soft skull bones of a baby are easily distorted by excessive pressure either in the womb or during the birth process. This is particularly so if the birth has involved any intervention such as Ventouse/Forceps delivery or C-Section.  Very long or unusually quick labours are also associated with an increased risk of cranial trauma. This can cause irritation to the nerves coming from inside the skull and tension in the muscles of the scalp, neck and upper body.

A thorough case history, observation and examination are the methods we use to identify whether some in-uterine or birth trauma may have occurred. Treatment is gentle and many babies sleep through the whole thing. Older children generally love the attention and of course you are with your children at all times should they need any reassurance.
