PROMPT ATTENTION WILL MEAN BETTER HEALTH AND LONGER LIFE
A patient came in and after their treatment she started to inquire about her nine year old child that suffers from chronic headaches. She then asked, “is she old enough to receive chiropractic adjustments and will they help?”
I have received this question numerous times over the course of my career and it is critical that children have proper spinal alignment to ensure optimal health and wellness. The process of birth as well as daily tumbles and falls can calls spinal trauma resulting in possible future problems. Chiropractic care in children removes these misalignments to help create the promper skeletal framework to support your child throughout their growing years and adulthood.
Proper spinal alignment removes nerve interference to allow for maximum development to the entire body. Since childhood is also the period in which all of your bodily systems and organs are growing the fastest it is very important they have uninterrupted nerve supply to control this development. Chiropractic adjustments can take from birth on. These techniques are very gentle and use minimal force with either the hand or a chiropractic instrument to correct the spine.
Studies show that children who receive chiropractic care are healthier overall and have less neurological problems. Organs and systems with altered nerve supply can start to function improperly resulting in symptoms below are a few conditions that chiropractic can help.
• Bed wetting
• Colic
• Ear infections
• Asthma
• Constipation/Diarrhea
• Headaches
• Scoliosis
• Neck or back pain
• Sinus Allergies
• Fever/colds

Our Photonic Stimulator is an alternative pain therapy for patients experiencing chronic pain, headaches, bursitis, tendonitis, and muscle spasms. It was introduced to our practice in 2000 when only a handful of U.S. Chiropractors were using this new pain device.
The Photonic Stimulator is an approved non-invasive therapy approved by the F.D.A. The Photonic Stimulator directs a beam of invisible infrared light onto an area of the body which a patient is experiencing pain.
How it works: Directing a beam of photons on traumatized nerves, major nerve plexuses and acupuncture or trigger points, usually re-quilibrates their electrical potential, Once the function of the nerves is restored and in communication with other parts of the body the begin firing normally, blood circulation will return to the affected area, bringing oxygen and nutrients and removing waste. Pain and numbness will disappear, as the body will naturally heal itself. <Read More>
Raindrop therapy is the simple application of essential oils onto the body using a method, which imitates drops of rain. The drops are placed along the entire length of the spine. The electrical frequencies and oxygenation molecular activity of the essential oil formulas help contribute to pain relief, better organ and hormone function, improved memory, correcting spinal curvature, increasing energy and enhancing the immune system.
Raindrop technique
This is a powerful, noninvasive tool used to correct defects in the curvature of the spine. It has improved numerous cases of scoliosis and decreased the need for back surgery for thousands of people. Raindrop technique is based on the theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by virus or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation which in turn controls and disfigures the spinal column Raindrop technique uses a sequence of highly anti-microbial essential oils designed to simultaneously reduce inflammation and kill the viral agents responsible for it. The oils are dropped onto the back and massaged along the vertebrae. The process takes an hour to complete and the oils will continue to work 5 to 7 days following a treatment with continued re-alignments taking place during this time. So restore your body to health and vigor.
In order for a muscle to expand and contract normally, the muscle fibers should run parallel to each other so that the muscle has its full length to perform movement. But over time, repetitious activities in our job as well as what home and family duties might necessitate, can cause a condition in the muscles called fibrosis. Fibrosis results in the muscles when the fivers start to knit together and even intertwine to some extent. These fibrosed areas of the muscle are more commonly referred to as muscle knots. This actually shortens up the muscle resulting in stiffness and pain. Normal circulation is decreased in these fibrosed muscle areas and performance of our daily tasks is hindered by decreased flexibility and general discomfort to significant pain.
Muscle release technique along with rhythmic stretching is an excellent remedy to muscle fibrosis. For instance, if there is a pain and lack of mobility in the shoulder and neck area, specific massage techniques along with a variety of stretches can be used to spread the muscle fibers apart and lengthen the shortened muscles. The muscle knots are reduced and eliminated and the full capacity of the muscle to expand and contract is restored. Specifically, the stretch of the shoulder or neck muscle is held for just a few seconds, but is repeated a number of times.
Thus it is more of a rhythmic stretching, rather than holding the stretch for 10-20 seconds. The muscles are worked during the stretch, using compression, friction, and other massage techniques. The affected muscle is gradually released and lengthened as this massage and stretching technique is repeated, with little or not discomfort to the recipient.
I have had a lot of success in improving and alleviating a number of problems from carpal tunnel to shoulder, neck, and lower back pain issues suing these techniques. This will work well for someone with fibromyalgia and other similar painful muscle conditions
