Pregnancy - Prenatal Care

It all starts in pregnancy!  Dr. Surma is Certified by the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) in prenatal care and the Webster Technique.  Sacral misalignment causes the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments.  It is these tense muscles and ligaments and their constraining effect on the uterus which prevents the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth. The Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and facilitates biomechanical balance in pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. This has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

It is strongly recommended by the ICPA instructors of this technique that this specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum be used throughout pregnancy, to detect imbalance and optimize pelvic biomechanics in preparation for safer, easier births. Because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers should have their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the mother and baby.

So, in a nut shell, getting adjusted regularly throughout the preganancy can help the mother's pelvis prepare for birth and allow the baby it be in the best possible position for birth.  Aside from theses obvious benefits, the expectant mother is usually getting quite uncomfortable is the later stages of the pregnancy and routine spinal adjustments can help ease the normal pains associated with pregnancy such as low back pain, sciatica (numbness or shooting pains in the legs) and  mid-back pain just to name a few.

Children - Pediatrics

Perhaps the most important time in a childs life to get their spines checked is immediately after birth.  The normal birthing process can create spinal subluxations (or misalginments) that could literally last a lifetime and have profound effect on how the child will grow and develop. 

But it doesn't just stop here.  Any time is a good time to have your child checked.  They do not need to be infants to benefit from Chiropractic Care.  It was said:

"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree." Alexander Pope, 1734

This saying becomes even more profound as we apply it to a child's developing spine and body.  Today's parents are informed and make their health care choices accordingly. They have become more concerned than ever about the adverse effects drugs have on their children. Parents are hesitant to merely mask symptoms with drugs and are justly worried about their numerous side effects. Parents are increasingly asking, when handed a prescription for a child's recurrent problem, "Is this really all I can do for my child? Isn't there a safer option? How can I restore health?"

Today's parents desire to achieve a state of true health—This is leading them to seek health care options which support their children’s own natural ability to be healthy.

Chiropractic care is one such option. All children function better with 100% nerve function. All children deserve the right to express their fullest potential. Chiropractic care for children is safe, gentle and effective. It enhances the body's inborn potential for well-being.
