Chiropractic care important for mom

Maybe it’s our age, or maybe it’s the onset of warmer weather and people venturing outside more, but it seems that everywhere we look we’re seeing pregnant bellies. That and many of our friends, families and practice members have recently given birth (Congratulations!!!). With this sudden boom of pregnancies and birth, what better time to talk about natural health from conception! Even if you’re not in the pregnancy/newborn/children stage, you surely know someone who is, so pass this helpful information on.

Women are the family gatekeepers for health, and they are definitely on top of maintaining their own personal wellness through regular check ups, screening tests and preventive measures. That is why on average women make up the major patient base in most complimentary health offices. Pregnancy adds a whole new dimension to this female dominance in our Chiropractic office because for the most part, during pregnancy pharmaceuticals are no longer an option. Add to this the many, many physical changes happening in the body with the loosening of ligaments, shifts in the pelvis, weight gain, changes in posture and compression of some of the internal organs, and you get discomfort and even pain. Well, we’ve got some great news for you – Chiropractic care can help you.

Not only do chiropractic adjustments help to alleviate some of the low back and hip pain commonly associated with the later stages of pregnancy, but it also helps in a lot of other ways that aren’t so commonly known.

Research tells us that chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown to: Help maintain a healthy pregnancy, control nausea and vomiting, help or stop premature contractions, help you remain active throughout your pregnancy, reduce the need for pain medication during pregnancy by half, and release in-utero constraint, facilitating the turning of breech babies. The Webster Technique performed by chiropractors has been proven to turn breech babies 82% of the time – and it’s non-invasive!

The benefits of chiropractic care don’t stop during pregnancy, they also help on birth day by shortening labour time by 25 to 60 percent, reducing the incidence of back labour, reducing the amount of pain medication during labour and generally helping make delivery more comfortable. Last but certainly not least chiropractic research has shown that regular adjustments can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression, reduce postpartum recovery time and increase the amount of breast milk produced. It’s no wonder that so many women make chiropractic a regular part of their prenatal care!

Getting started during pregnancy can help put you and your baby on the path to lifelong health and wellness, by addressing your health in a pro-active, non-invasive and drug free way. After all who wants to take more medication?

Testimonials

I originally started going to Health In Hand Family Chiropractic because my personal trainer thought it would help with the hip pain that I had been having. I went in for an initial visit with Dr. Sarah and she explained that my pelvis was out of balance and that it may be contributing to other symptoms I had been experiencing with PMS and cramping.

The chiropractic adjustments gave me great relief from my hip pain, and after a few months I realized that my cramps and PMS were gone too! Now I go for regular wellness visits to keep me in balance and feeling amazing.

I am a Canadian National Power Lifting Champion. From the beginning of February 2009 to beginning of March 2009, I went from lifting 805 pounds off of the ground to lifting over 1000 pounds off the ground!!

Not changing my diet or workout routine at all, the strength benefits came from the adjustments!!

I recommend all my clients to check out “Health In Hand Family Chiropractic“, for all health benefits and concerns eg; lower back pain, to chronic fatigue, to strengthening immune systems to avoiding sicknesses.

In the past two years I had started to feel that my age was affecting my general health. As a physically active 53 year old I was feeling the wear and tear on my body. I was only sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night as I was being awakened by terrible neck pain.

I was always feeling heaviness in my chest and shoulder area and I was taking a lot of pills to kill the pain. I had actually started to curtail my physical activities due to the pain.

This past fall I had a chance meeting with Dr. Travis Pillipow a chiropractor in West Kelowna. It was his enthusiasm about the benefits of seeing a chiropractor that led to our discussion of my issues.

In that discussion he explained how a bad fall can throw the body out of alignment. I mentioned a trail bike accident I had taken in Gallagher’s Canyon the previous year and he recommended a consultation.

I booked an appointment at his Health in Hand office and I was pleasantly surprised with the approach. After an intensive consultation he shared with me the issues with my body and my personal body alignment. A plan was implemented.

After the first session I felt like a new man. That evening I slept a solid 9 hours and my wife mentioned that I had stopped snoring.

In the ensuing days I felt that I was standing straighter and breathing better. My nightly sleep settled in at seven hours and in the past week I have not taken any pain killers.

The initial benefits have been tremendous and I look forward to the continuation of the planned program. In fact yesterday I began a new workout regime and went for a long walk without any of my previous issues.

I highly recommend Dr. Travis Pillipow and his Health In Hand Family Chiropractic team for creating and maintaining optimal health and wellness for you and your entire family.
