4 Ways Chiropractic Can Help With Pelvic Floor Issues

/

Your pelvic floor is basically a large sheet of muscles that stretches from your tailbone in the back to your pubic bone in the front. The muscles that make up the pelvic floor help to keep the organs in the area, such as your bladder and bowel, in place. You can think about these muscles as slings or hammocks for the organs in the pelvis, offering them constant support.

Issues with the muscles that comprise the pelvic floor are unfortunately pretty common. This is because, over the course of life, they can become too tight, stretched out, or too weak to do their job appropriately. One of the biggest causes behind weakened or stretched pelvic floor muscles is pregnancy -- an event that definitely puts the area through its paces!

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a condition many women suffer from but are often embarrassed to seek help for. You don’t have to suffer from the side effects of pelvic floor dysfunction because... chiropractic care CAN help!

Swipe to see 4 ways chiropractic adjustments can help pelvic floor issues.

Immune System Support: Elderberry

/

Have you been looking for things to help support your family's immune systems during these colder months? Aside from regular adjustments, which help keep the immune system functioning optimally, elderberry is a great addition to your routine!

What exactly are elderberries and what do they do for our bodies?

The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that boost your immune system. They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too. Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms.

Next time you're in the office, check out the options we have from Earthley.

Elderberry Syrup DIY Kit

Elderberry DIY Kits make it easier than ever! There's no need to overbuy herbs or spend time researching for the best recipe. Simply boil in water and add honey, syrup, or a sweetener of choice. Each kit makes about two cups of syrup, which is enough to last one month for a family of four.

Elderberry Elixir

Elderberry Elixir is a liquid botanical remedy that combines elderberries with lung- and immune-supporting herbs. It’s shelf-stable, super-concentrated, and easy to use! Elderberry has a long history of use for both daily immune support and as a respiratory remedy. Our formula is more powerful than elderberry alone because of its complementary herbs! Made with certified organic ingredients.

Is Chiropractic Safe for Kids?

/

Have you ever wondered about the benefits of chiropractic care for newborns and little kids?

Essential neuro-development changes are crucial to lifelong growth and development. With pediatric chiropractic care, a child can grow and thrive right from the start.

At birth, roughly 100 billion neurons have already developed in a child’s brain; few will be produced after this point in a child’s life. Getting your child checked by a chiropractor regularly from birth ensures their neuro-spinal system is clear and connected so they can better adapt to life stressors and develop optimally.

The earlier- the better!

Pediatric chiropractic care is completely safe and uses low force. No twisting or sounds checking a child's nervous system can be compared to checking the ripeness of an avocado.

At office name, Dr. Randy has extensive training in pediatric chiropractic care and can assess if your child is functioning at their best.

Do You Sit at a Desk All Day At Work?

/

Are you spending hours at a desk and feeling the toll it takes on your body?

Let's talk about those physical stressors and how you can find relief! 🧘‍♀️✨

Sitting for prolonged periods can wreak havoc on your posture, causing discomfort in your neck, back, and shoulders.

Our six tips to improve posture during work or school are:

1. Ergonomic Setup: Adjust your desk, chair, and computer screen to promote proper posture. Your screen should be at eye level, and your feet should be flat on the ground with knees at a 90-degree angle. Even better, a stand-up desk!

2. Regular breaks: Take short breaks every 30 minutes to stand up, stretch, and move around. Stretch your neck, shoulders, back, and hips to release tension and improve circulation.

3. Posture Awareness: Be mindful of your posture throughout the day. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, aligning your spine, and keeping your shoulders relaxed.

4. Strengthen Core Muscles: A strong core supports your spine and helps maintain good posture. Incorporate exercises like planks, bridges, and yoga poses that engage your core muscles. Check out BIRTHFIT Basics for intentional core movements that are great for every human!

5. Mindful Breathing: Take moments throughout the day to practice deep, mindful breathing. As you inhale, envision your breath expanding your chest and lifting your spine. This simple practice can help relax tense muscles, improve oxygen flow, and encourage a more upright posture.

6. Chiropractic Care: Regular chiropractic adjustments can correct imbalances and relieve discomfort. Not only does it improve physical stress response but emotional as well!

Ear Infections and Chiropractic Care

/

Do you find yourself constantly in the pediatrician's office with re-occurring "ear infections" and don't understand why?

While ear infections are seen as common, they are not NORMAL.

Did you know ear infections are primarily considered a "drainage problem" in which fluid builds up behind the child's eardrum? When there is stress or disruption on the upper neck, this creates tension in the neck muscles. This decreases the drainage and stagnant fluid builds up in the ear.

Chiropractic care can help get your child's body out of the fight or flight state that causes this tension. When the muscles surrounding the ear tube function, they can help massage and maintain movement of the ear fluid. This allows the immune system to kick in and do its job while staying clear of any ear infections in the future!

If your kiddo is showing symptoms of an ear infection, has re-occurring illnesses, or you want to ensure their little bodies are functioning at the highest levels, chiropractic care is a safe and noninvasive option that can help alleviate pain and keep infections away for good!
