As parents, there’s nothing more important than ensuring your child’s overall well-being, and a crucial aspect of their health often overlooked is sleep.  From those early newborn days of constant wake-ups, to bedtime struggles in the toddler years, and even to bedwetting, nightmares, and other sleep disturbances in older kids, sleep is not always easy to come by.  Sleep issues can affect kids just as much as adults, impacting their mood, behavior, and overall development. From restless nights to difficulty falling asleep, many parents are desperately seeking solutions to ensure their children get the restful sleep they need for healthy growth and development. Let’s delve into how chiropractic care can play a valuable role in improving children’s sleep.

But before that, let’s have a look into one such story that comes from a parent who witnessed the remarkable impact of chiropractic care on her daughter’s well-being, who experienced not only physical relief but also a remarkable improvement in her sleep quality through chiropractic care.

Brielle’s story

“Brielle is such a rockstar! Not only does she love her adjustments, but Mom said her sleep has improved since starting care!”

As a parent, witnessing your child struggle with sleep issues can be both distressing and puzzling. Sleep, the cornerstone of overall well-being, had been a concern for Brielle and her mother.  With chiropractic adjustments, not only did her sleep duration improve, but the quality of her sleep also underwent a profound shift. She started experiencing more restful nights, waking up refreshed and ready to take on the day.

How can Chiropractic care help kids with sleep issues?

Chiropractic care isn’t solely about spinal adjustments, it’s about unlocking the body’s innate ability to heal and function optimally. Any misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can disrupt the nervous system’s function and lead to a range of health issues, including sleep disturbances. In children, subluxations can result from various factors like birth trauma, falls, poor posture, and even the rapid growth experienced during childhood. Chiropractic adjustments work to align the spine and promote proper nervous system function. It has been found extremely effective in helping children fall asleep easier, stay asleep longer, and wake up more rested. Chiropractic care can contribute to overall well-being, including sleep quality, by ensuring that the body’s communication network is functioning optimally.

The benefits of chiropractic care for children with sleep issues are:

• Improving central nervous system function
• Reducing stress
• Improving respiratory function
• Relaxing the body
• Easing muscle tension that causes restlessness
• Hormonal balance

If you haven’t thought about taking your little one to see a chiropractor, then now might be your ideal opportunity. Empower your child to enjoy the benefits of a good night’s sleep and embark on a journey toward improved sleep quality and overall health.  At Blossom Family Chiropractic, we aim to help you have the best chance to optimize your health and well-being. We would love the opportunity to help you and your family achieve optimal health.

Can a chiropractor turn a breech baby?

Are you wondering what it means to have a breech baby? As the clock ticks down, you’re probably eager to hear that your baby is in the best position for delivery. It can be frustrating when you’re not really sure why your baby still hasn’t turned or is in the breech position! Towards the end of the third trimester, there’s no longer a lot of space for the baby in the uterus. And these physiological changes can make it difficult for pregnant mothers and their babies. Here’s what you need to know about, what breech presentation is and how chiropractic care can help with breech babies.

What is Breech Presentation?

The vast majority of babies are in a “head down” position by week 34. During the first two trimesters, babies are constantly moving around inside the uterus. There’s a lot of room and it’s part of their normal development. But during the third trimester, babies have to settle into a head-down position, which is the safest position in preparation for labor and delivery. But if the baby is positioned to come out with his bottom or feet first, the baby is breech. 

Most babies are head down by 34 weeks of pregnancy, though some are in the proper birthing position earlier and others may wait until later to turn head down. After 34 weeks, the likelihood of a baby turning on its own is low due to reduced space in the uterus. Breech presentation is one of the most common reasons that C-sections are performed.

What causes a baby to be in a breech position?

Most of the time, the position of the baby is a chance occurrence with no clear cause. Some of the common causes include:

• Tension in your pelvis, hips or uterine muscles
• Too much or too little amniotic fluid
• You’re expecting twins
• A low-lying placenta
• Uterus is not normal in shape
• A short umbilical cord
• If a woman has had several pregnancies
• Older maternal age

How Chiropractic Can Help With Breech Babies During Pregnancy

 A common question we receive from pregnant mothers is if chiropractic care can help with their breech baby. The answer is absolutely, yes! The benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy are hugely significant, both for moms and babies. Chiropractic care, and the Webster technique specifically, is excellent for pregnant moms. It not only reduces pain, prepares them for easier labor and delivery, and is better for the overall health of both mom and baby, but it also helps with breech positioning. The primary goal of chiropractic care is to address misalignments (also called subluxations) to make more room in the pelvis.

The Webster Technique is sometimes referred to as “the baby-turning technique.” Unfortunately, the name is a misconception itself. You may be surprised to know that the chiropractic adjustment will not attempt to turn your baby. Instead, the adjustment is about creating space in the pelvis so your baby can more freely move into an optimal position on their own. It helps to relax the ligaments and joints of your pelvis. Doing this creates a more functional environment for the fetus. In the end, you’ll have a bit more room so your baby can turn with ease. Even if the baby is not breech, misalignments in the pelvis may inhibit the normal progression of delivery. But with chiropractic adjustments, the pelvis is relaxed and delivery can proceed easily, reducing stress on both mother and baby.

Conclusion

If you are pregnant and have a breech baby, it is important to consult with us as soon as possible. We may be able to help your baby turn into the correct position for delivery, making for an easier and less stressful experience!

Introduction

Are you tired of constantly battling headaches, fatigue, neck pain or digestive issues? It’s not uncommon for these problems to disrupt our lives, leaving us searching for solutions that truly address their underlying causes. While these concerns might seem unrelated, they can actually share a common root cause – an imbalance in our body’s nervous system.  Let’s have a look at how chiropractic care can help with headaches, fatigue, neck pain or digestive issues and transform your life. But, before that, let’s dive into Erin’s journey which was marked by frustration, discomfort, and a quest for relief and how her story took a positive turn when she discovered chiropractic care – a unique approach to health and wellness that transformed her life from the inside out.

Erin’s chiropractic story

“Before finding Blossom, I was experiencing near daily headaches, extreme fatigue, irritability, and dull pain in my neck. I also experienced painful digestive issues that sometimes put me out of work and in bed all day with a heating pad on my stomach 1-2x a month.

I tried stretching, going in the sauna, Aleve and Advil for my headaches and neck pain. For my digestive issues, I tried going to a gastro doctor, taking different supplements, and altering my diet. Blossom’s care is very different than what I was trying to do and accomplish because they took the time to truly understand the root of my challenges and symptoms and how to attack and solve them from the true cause.

After a few weeks of care, I noticed my headaches were infrequent during the week and I was sleeping better and had an improved mood day to day. I also have not experienced the pain of my digestive issues and have not had to take time off work bed ridden because of this pain.

My life feels a lot healthier. I feel like I’m doing good to my body and am truly healing my body from the inside out and it feels great. It is so comforting knowing I’m doing something that is producing results and finally have taken steps in the right direction with my health.”

How Chiropractic care can transform your life?

The nervous system serves as the body’s communication network, transmitting messages between the brain and different organs. Any misalignments or subluxations in the spine can disrupt this communication, leading to various health problems. But, chiropractic care aims to restore proper spinal alignment, allowing the nervous system to function optimally. Chiropractic care doesn’t just target symptoms, but it focuses on enhancing the body’s innate ability to heal itself.  It can help in:

• Relieving headaches

Headaches can be incredibly debilitating and impact your daily life. Nerve interference caused by spinal misalignments can trigger tension headaches and migraines. Proper spinal alignment can relieve tension, reduce nerve pressure, and alleviate headache symptoms.

• Reducing fatigue

When the spine is out of alignment, it can negatively impact the nervous system’s ability to regulate bodily functions, leading to fatigue. Chiropractic care aims to restore the body’s natural balance and promote better nervous system function. Hence, a balanced nervous system can improve communication between the brain and the body, which can contribute to increased energy levels and reduced fatigue.

• Alleviating neck pain

Neck pain is often caused by poor posture, sedentary lifestyles, or previous injuries. But, by restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care can effectively alleviate neck pain, improve range of motion, and promote a healthier neck posture.

• Improving Digestive Issues

Subluxations in the spine can disrupt nerve signals that control digestive processes, potentially leading to issues like indigestion, bloating, and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But, chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper nerve function, potentially leading to improved digestion.

Erin’s journey with Blossom Family Chiropractic has allowed her to reclaim her life, fostering a sense of well-being she hadn’t experienced in years.
