If you think chiropractors are just for older people with bad backs, you’re missing out. A family chiropractor can treat everyone from newborns to seniors and everyone in between. Dr. Alicia Calease of Calease Chiropractic Center in Waverly, IA offers chiropractic treatments to patients of all ages.
Pregnancy and women's wellness
Women's wellness presents some unique challenges. When women are pregnant, their bodies undergo a lot of changes. As the baby gets bigger, it changes a woman's center of gravity. The growing baby adds pressure to the pelvis and the lower back. A family chiropractor can provide spinal manipulation to help to make you comfortable again by helping get your spine back in alignment. A family chiropractor can also help with muscle relaxation, which allows the body and mind to be more relaxed and can make delivery easier.
Newborn
A newborn can be adjusted at any time after birth. Birth can be stressful for both mothers and babies, and you may notice that your child is having some difficulties with nursing or with colic. Gentle chiropractic care can be very calming for babies, and it can help them to eat and sleep better and with other bodily functions. A family chiropractor can help with a variety of issues that your baby may be experiencing.
Children
Children may experience many health issues that you would rather not treat with medication. Your family chiropractor will do a thorough examination to determine what the root cause of the health issue is. Many children experience allergies, headaches, and joint issues that can be helped through chiropractic manipulation. Stress on the spine can result in many conditions that affect children and teens. In addition, sports are often a big part of childhood and making sure your child's body is prepared before and after participating can result in fewer injuries.
Degenerative disc
As you age, your spine may experience degeneration in the discs. They can dehydrate, causing the possibility of herniation or bulging. It can make you very uncomfortable and restrict the amount of activity you can do. What you want is relief. By getting the pressure off of the discs, the pain will be diminished and often go away completely. This is just one of the many issues that a family chiropractor can treat in a more mature patient.
