While chiropractors cannot manually turn the fetus from head up to head down, there is a highly effective maneuver known as the Webster Techniqe that can help babies optimize their positioning on their own. The Webster Technique is a specific sacral adjustment to help facilitate the mother's pelvic alignment and nerve system function. This technique balances pelvic muscles and ligaments, and reduces tension to the uterus, providing a greater potential for optimal fetal positioning.

Parents often seek chiropractic care for their children for the resolution of a particular symptom or various conditions. While we do not claim to “treat” these conditions, removing interference of the nervous system often times results in relief many impairments. This includes sleeping issues, breastfeeding/latching issues, ear infections/ear aches, fussiness, colic, torticollis, hearing impairments, clogged tear ducts, constipation and digestive issues, neurological deficits, asthma, allergies, headaches, and even bed wetting.

It is understandable that many parents fear the idea chiropractic care for their babies. As adults, getting an adjustment usually means quite a bit of pressure and popping sounds. It is very important to know that chiropractors do not take the same approach as they do for their adult patients as they do while adjusting babies. Adjustments for babies are gentle and most often, will go unnoticed by the baby. To give you an idea, the pressure used during a pediatric adjustment is equivalent to the pressure one would use to check a tomato for ripeness.

Your baby’s spine and nervous system require the same amount of care, if not more, than an adult. It is most beneficial to have your children seen during infancy and childhood as these are impressionable times of rapid growth and development. As your baby grows, learning to hold up their head, sit, crawl and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment. When there is a misalignment of the spine, the nerves that extend to all of the organs of the body become compromised. When the doctor administers an adjustment, they are simply removing the pressure and nerve stress from the spine so the body can experience life without interference.

Food allergies and food sensitivities are abnormal responses to a food component triggered by the immune system in the form of immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG, IgA), representing either an immediate or delayed response. Specific IgG, IgA ELISA food panels are arranged in comprehensive panels of 96 or 184 foods consumed in the typical western diet. Our allergy tests specifically look at IgG. The premise behind IgG testing is to look for elevated antibodies produced in response to foods causing an adverse reaction within the body. Antibodies produced as a result of the allergen will stay within the bloodstream for about 28 days. Each time you consume the food within your diet, the body will produce more antibodies in response to the allergen. If the food hasn't been consumed within that time frame, the body does not have to produce these antibodies because that specific allergen isn't present. This means the test would not pick up antibodies for that allergen, and therefore would not register on the test.

Physical reactions to certain foods are common, but most are caused by a food intolerance rather than a food allergy. A food intolerance can cause some of the same signs and symptoms as a food allergy, so people often confuse the two. A true food allergy causes an immune system reaction that affects numerous organs in the body. It can cause a range of symptoms. In some cases, an allergic food reaction can be severe or life-threatening. In contrast, food intolerance symptoms are generally less serious and often limited to digestive problems. If you have a food intolerance, you may be able to eat small amounts of the offending food without trouble. You may also be able to prevent a reaction. For example, if you have lactose intolerance, you may be able to drink lactose-free milk or take lactase enzyme pills (Lactaid) to aid digestion. Causes of food intolerance include: Absence of an enzyme needed to fully digest a food.Lactose intolerance is a common example. Irritable bowel syndrome. This chronic condition can cause cramping, constipation and diarrhea. Sensitivity to food additives. For example, sulfites used to preserve dried fruit, canned goods and wine can trigger asthma attacks in sensitive people. Recurring stress or psychological factors. Sometimes the mere thought of a food may make you sick. The reason is not fully understood. Celiac disease. Celiac disease has some features of a true food allergy because it involves the immune system. However, symptoms are mostly gastrointestinal, and people with celiac disease are not at risk of anaphylaxis. This chronic digestive condition is triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.
