Dumas Chiropractic and Acupuncture

Did you know, a child with subluxations in his or her spine will place their body into positions to relieve tension? As they lean away from the discomfort, they will adapt an abnormal cervical spine shape. If never corrected the body will grow in a twisted position. Some of the possibilities are a higher leg, shoulder or skull on one side. They may also develop a forward rotated shoulder shoulder and many other variations caused by being out of balance and alignment. 

When an adult or a child reaches maximum adaptation, symptoms such as inflammation or disease arise. The benefit of a chiropractic adjustment reduces the adaptive and compensative response therefore reducing the pain, illness or discomfort. With a chiropractic treatment plan, the inflammatory response is also reduced and the chance of a disease arising is cut short. This is known as the chiropractic model of prevention. Treatment reduces distortion of the posture and removes tension off of the nervous system allowing the body to heal and recuperate its own health. 

So your little bundle of joy is keeping you awake at night. People warned you- you knew what was coming. However, they may have forgot to clue you in about how your fussy little one has the potential to keep you up during the afternoon…and in the morning…and pretty much every hour, of every single second of every day. Did you know a trip to the chiropractor for your baby can be just the trick to calming them down and helping you get the rest you so desperately need? 

As you know, your child has been in an enclosed space for roughly nine months, with the most pressure on them during the last three. Imagine being stuck in a box for that long. Cramped, right? On top of the tiny room they have been renting, they are pushed and pulled into the real world during the delivery.

Did you know the infant has the greatest chance of injury during the last trimester and throughout the delivery? Injuries to the spinal column, joints and other musculature are most common, and as you would imagine, they can be uncomfortable for little Suzie or Bobby.

Unfortunately some people call the all-night crying a “stage” and you have to wait it out. The problem with the “stage” idea, is it has the potential to last up to 2 years. If their spinal nerves are irritated due to a subluxation, their little bodies try to tell us so.

There are specific low-force techniques that are designed just for infants and small children. The Logan Basic Technique being one. The best part about an infant adjustment is a quick response time. This allows relief for the baby and everyone else around. At Dumas Chiropractic we will not only correct the issue, we will teach you what you can do for your child.

It is most necessary to know the nature of the spine. One or more vertebrae may or may not go out of place very much and if they do, they are likely to produce serious complications and even death, if not properly adjusted. Many diseases are related to…
