A family chiropractor has many benefits for all ages!
Family Chiropractor for Prenatal/ Pregnancy
Musculoskeletal concerns during pregnancy are due to mechanical changes from the growth and position of the baby and hormonal changes that result in less ligament stability. Firstly, hip and low back pain are common in pregnant women. Secondly, the pregnancy can cause myofascial problems in the neck, mid back and chest areas due to the shifting of her spine and the extra weight of the baby. Thirdly, knee and foot pain are common due to the change in weight bearing as well.
There is research to support the role of chiropractic treatment of the pregnant low back patient. Adjustments during pregnancy are safe and an excellent alternative to drugs for pain management. “Softer” approaches can also be utilized such as various soft tissue techniques and mobilization. A family chiropractor in West Palm Beach will gently adjust the pregnant woman’s spine, hips, knees and feet.
Of all the changes she will experience in this stage of life, consistent care from a family chiropractor in West Palm Beach is always a good choice. Stiffness and pain can be decreased through regular care. Than the pregnant woman can sleep better at night and feel more energized during the day. Her range of motion will increase to help with delivery of the baby as well. As eating right and exercising during pregnancy is important, so is chiropractic care. When you are pregnant, you need all the help you can get. After all, when the baby is born, mom will need to be in top physical shape to continue the next part of her joyful journey.
Family Chiropractor for Infants and kids
A Canadian study of pediatric visits to alternative care practitioners indicated that the majority of patients presented with non-musculoskeletal complaints such as respiratory and ears, nose and throat (ENT) related symptoms. Furthermore, studies from Denmark seem to indicate that chiropractic manipulation is effective at improving or resolving infantile colic. Infantile colic describes excessive crying of unknown cause in otherwise well infants. It appears Colic affects up to 20% of infants.
As your child grows, sports- related injuries are relatively common. Prevention is a major goal in working with children and adolescents. Similarly, when injured, the proper diagnosis, treatment, and rehab is the goal. Lastly, many children experience “growing pains” and posture related discomfort. And they find relief by seeing a family chiropractor in West Palm Beach.
With adolescents, back pain accounted for about 33% of visits to a family chiropractor in countries outside the United States. Neck and headache pain accounted for approximately 40% of visits.
Family Chiropractor for Younger Adults
Whether you sit at a desk all day at work, perform manual labor, chase after small children, or are an athlete, the repetitive tasks in our days can eventually lead to spinal misalignments and joint dysfunction throughout your body. Untreated, these can cause a ripple of destruction to your health. Pain, headaches, dizziness, low energy, difficulty sleeping, and weakened immune health are all possible symptoms.
Regardless of your activity level, you should check in with a family chiropractor regularly to address issues while they are small. Consistent care is better than allowing your pain to finally bring you into the family chiropractor clinic. Adults seek chiropractic clinics due to neck and back pain, arm and leg pain, disc problems, hormonal (menopause, premenstrual pains) issues, osteoarthritis, pinched nerve, headaches, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and immune disorders. Why not seek care while the problem is minor and small? Once you are in pain your body has already been struggling for a while. Therefore, it takes longer and more adjustments to get it healthy again.
Family Chiropractor for Older Adults (Elders/Seniors)
Studies suggest that the older adult population (over 65) represents 12-17% of most chiropractic practices in the U.S.A. These patients also account for 1/3 of patients who purchase prescription medications. The majority of older adults have signs and symptoms that reflect the accumulation of life-long environmental impact combined with decreased function of most organ systems. Among these systems include the neuromusculoskeletal system in which Chiropractors are specialists in.
The ultimate goal with older adults are to prevent or delay functional decline and restore and/or maintain function to allow as much independent living as possible. It is clear the ability for the older adult to remain independent has a significant effect on his or her perceived quality of life. In conclusion, it is true and logical that normal aging does result in some decreases in function. However, all decreases in function are not age related and so require intervention. In fact, many neuromusculoskeletal conditions are treatable and preventable through chiropractic care.
Acupuncture for all Ages…West Palm Beach Acupuncture Treatments for Children, Adults, Athletes and the Elderly
Acupuncture is a great natural alternative treatment alone or along with chiropractic care. Acupuncture can be integrated into a family’s routine as a proactive approach to maintaining health. Acupuncture consists of the insertion of one or several very thin metal needles into the skin and underlying tissues. Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM is a system of healthcare that has evolved over thousands of years to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.
Several studies have demonstrated the results of acupuncture for allergic rhinitis. And a few studies (1) have shown positive effects for atopic dermatitis, asthma and itch. Acupuncture plays an increasingly important role as an evidence-based therapy for allergy relief. It can be recommended as an adjunct therapy for allergic rhinitis.
Indeed, since acupuncture activates the natural, self-healing abilities of the body, it can help with almost any imbalance or health condition, whether it’s physical or emotional (e.g. digestive problems, back/neck pain, headache, gynecological issues, eye/ear/throat and neurological conditions).
Firstly, for babies and young children, acupuncture can help establish healthy sleep patterns and alleviate various health issues. Additionally, for very young children who cannot tolerate needles, non-invasive techniques are available. For instance, acupressure and shonishin (a specialized pediatric massage) are effective choices.
Secondly, for teenagers, the physical and mental stresses of adolescence can be an issue. These include occasional sports injuries, life stress of puberty and “growing pains”. So these can be managed with acupuncture.
Thirdly, for adults, acupuncture is effective for chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, and knee pain), headaches, anxiety and various ailments. It can also provide relief from seasonal allergy symptoms and hormonal issues.
Fourthly, for the older adults, acupuncture can help with difficulties associated with aging. For examples, these include chronic pain, balance problems, and cognitive issues.
