Prenatal/Pregnancy Care
The Gonstead chiropractor’s focus on chiropractic care for the pregnant mother is unique and very specific compared to the care given to the non-pregnant patient. Since the body changes quickly during pregnancy, preexisting and unnoticed imbalances in your pelvis and spine may become stressed. Commonly, pregnant women experience back discomfort/pain during pregnancy.
We are for Pregnancy Comfort
Many pregnant mothers seek chiropractic care for pregnancy comfort, easier birth, and postpartum recovery. They will appreciate the Gonstead chiropractor’s attention to detail, gentle adjustments, and respect for the body’s changes during pregnancy. The Gonstead practitioner’s focus on chiropractic care for the pregnant mother is unique and very specific compared to the care given to the non-pregnant patient.
Chiropractic care for pediatric development
The legacy we leave depends on the health of ourselves and our children. Any informed healthcare provider knows that many spinal problems seen in adults began in childhood as early as birth. Even natural birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and developing nerve system. The resulting pressure to the nervous system caused by spinal misalignments can be the cause of many newborn health conditions.
Adult Health, Longevity, and the Spine
You will most likely live longer than you expected. An estimated 4.2 million U.S. residents now fall into the age group of the “oldest old”—85 years and older—with more than 40,000 having reached the age of 100. In fact, centenarians (those 100 and older) are the fastest-growing subpopulation of the elderly, and by 2050, according to census projections, 1 million Americans will celebrate their 100th birthday.
Can Chiropractic Care Boosts Your Athletic Performance
Athletes have special needs, and we understand the specific nature and requirements necessary to help you achieve peak performance. When your body is in better alignment, your nervous system is finely tuned, and all systems are energized. This leads to better performance, fewer injuries, and quicker recovery. A research study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation indicated chiropractic care may improve athletic performance by as much as 16.7% over a two-week period.
