Chiropractic is for everyone and anyone, no matter what age! From newborns to senior citizens, no-one is too young or too old to be treated. Dr Bromfield uses evidence based care to treat a range of conditions including: pinched nerves; headaches; neck pain; lower back pain; shoulder pain; sciatica and colic. Birth and early infancy can sometimes be a very difficult and traumatic time for both mother and baby. Stresses increase with quick or prolonged labour or if the baby is positioned incorrectly. Assissted delivery using forceps, vantouse suction and caesarean sections can also add to the stresses.These stresses and injuries can result in the tightening of muscles in the baby’s spinal column which can cause the vertebrae to lose their normal motion. This can in turn irritate or put stress onto the nerves that branch out from the spinal cord which supply the various organs and tissues of the body. The chiropractic treatment of a baby is different from that which would be necessary for an adult. The infant’s spine is more flexible and the manipulation is adapted to make certain that only the lightest pressure is used. These can be done while the parent is holding the child. Babies usually tolerate spinal evaluation and adjusting quite well, with no more discomfort than that caused by a physical examination. Controlled clinical studies show chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy to be successful in the treatment of infantile colic. Pain between the shoulder blades or in the arms, legs, hands or feet? The biggest danger with whiplash injuries is that problems can take years to develop and people don’t go for help until it’s almost too late. The violent rocking of the head stretches and tears muscles and ligaments. Damage can also occur to the discs between the vertebrae. The muscles tighten to protect and support the head and joints from too much movement and ligament damage. The vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position thus limiting the normal range of motion and irritating the nerve roots and spinal cord. A new study published in an Orthopaedic Medicine Journal shows that chiropractic treatment is the best choice of treatment for chronic whiplash symptoms. If you have felt any of the symptoms mentioned above then play it safe and come in for a chiropractic check up.
