Kids and Chiropractic


With so many things on the go with little ones, its easy for parents to forget the importance of their kids' spinal health. Let me remind you how valuable it is to get you children checked at every milestone. Just like you would their teeth and eyes, their spines are just as if not more important to the functioning of their day to day growth. Postural imbalances and strain from falls, growth spurts, improper footwear, etc... are examples of what can affect their musculo-skeletal integrity. For more information on how chiropractic for kids can assist your child's proper spinal function contact Vancouver Chiropractic inc. 604-685-0052.or vancouverchiropractic.ca

Chiropractic & Pregnancy


Pregnancy is one of the most important times to see a chiropractor! From the moment you conceive the body starts a chain reaction of changes due to the cascade of various hormones. Some are easy to see and others relate to changes in posture and position leading to discomfort.

As weight is gained, a downward pressure is exerted on the pelvis and lower spine and with the secretion on the hormone relaxin the ligaments in the body become further flexible. This can lead to tremondous vulnerability to strain in the lower back and pelvic joints as well overworked muscles which support these structures.

According to recent studies, chiropractic care can improve comfort levels in the second and third trimesters as well reduction for need of anelgesics during delivery.

Chiropractic care can also assist new moms with postitional stress associated with breast feeding and postural strain caring for a newborn.
