Chiropractic First

Chiropractic care has been an established practice for well over 100 years. The approach is simple: the human body has an amazing ability to heal itself when it is functioning optimally. On occasion, due to an injury or even daily routines, the body is unable to heal adequately due to interference.

Stretching is often times one of the best ways to loosen up tight muscles. Complaints of tight muscles often occur in the upper back and shoulders as well as in the hip and pelvic musculature. The following stretches are the ones we most commonly prescribe at Chiropractic First to patients, due to the fact that these are the most common muscles that are overused and tight on most individuals.

One of the most common questions parents ask at Chiropractic First is, "Do you adjust children and babies?" The answer is "yes!" (The youngest baby Dr. Jane has adjusted was a mere 4 hours old!) Often, one of the first traumas experienced is at birth.

As the baby travels through the birth canal, it can be a very trying experience, especially if there is any medical intervention, such as tugging, pulling, forceps, vacuum extraction or C-section delivery.The trauma a baby's spine encounters during this process can cause subluxation and symptoms of an unhappy baby.
