Pre/Postnatal Chiropractic
Often birthing procedures can put pressure on a child’s spine. Vacuum extraction and over-eager hands can do even more damage by pulling, forcing and twisting the baby’s young spine. A child encounters many physical stresses during their growing years. The many small bumps and falls can cause the spinal bones to lose their normal position and cause nerve disturbance (subluxation). Left undetected and uncorrected this can lead to altered development. This never disturbance can cause negative effects on digestion, immune function, ear infections, colic, and sleep patterns.
Dr. Martines is extremely gentle with infants, toddlers and adolescent patients. Rather than using an adult adjusts, he uses special low-force techniques specific to the needs of each child. Dr. Martines is highly trained, skilled and experienced. With on more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato, he is able to reduce compressive nerve disturbances. The procedures we use in our office are truly gentle, comfortable and effective for children.Dr. Martines is extremely gentle with infants, toddlers and adolescent patients.
