Who said giving birth is easy in Pleasant Hill
We tend to think that because an infant survived the birth process, everything is all right. What most people don’t know is that a recent study showed even under ideal conditions, 80% of all babies had birth trauma. With up to 200 pounds of pressure per inch on the infant during the birth process, it’s no surprise that there might be a subluxation. Andrew Towbin, MD reported in a study that 7 out of 8 infants that died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, had a misalignment of the atlas (the first vertebra in the neck, just under the skull. Chiropractors call this misalignment a “subluxation”.) resulting in the infant's death.
“Support your babies neck”
The most common birth trauma is usually strained muscles of the infant's neck. At Mulhall Family Chiropractic, Dr. Geraldine uses the latest technology to help assess if your infant has any misalignments that can interfere with your baby's ideal growth.
By the way,
Babies are never adjusted like an adult! It takes special training to know how and when to adjust an infant. Check the icpa4kids.org website to find a chiropractor who is trained and certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association.
Pediatrics
Size Matters!
Just like infant chiropractic care, pediatric chiropractic care takes special training.
Children should never be treated as small adults. Their adjustments are always modified for the age and size of the child. Dr. Geraldine teaches Pediatrics at Life Chiropractic College West to future chiropractors.
Sooner The Better
Many parents who bring their children to see Dr. Geraldine have noticed that their children are much healthier than their peers. They tend to meet their childhood milestones sooner than their friends of the same age who are not under chiropractic care.
While chiropractic care does not treat conditions like otitis media, asthma, and other childhood challenges, keeping your child clear of subluxations helps the body regulate itself the way nature intended.
