Why Chiropractic?
The purpose of chiropractic care is not the treatment of a disease but rather the restoration of normal body function. Chiropractors focus on restoring function of the nervous system (brain and spinal cord), which controls every organ and organ system within the body (skeletal, respiratory, immunological, cardiac, reproductive, endocrine, muscular, etc.). Chiropractors assist in reducing everyday stress with gentle, specific, and effective chiropractic adjustments. Now you might be wondering what causes dysfunction within the nervous system, and that is what we like to call a subluxation. A subluxation is when the nerves exiting the spine are unable to communicate efficiently with the rest of the body due to a misalignment of the bones in your spine. This causes irritation, pressure, and a decreased signal from your brain to the rest of the body!
The main concept that chiropractors live by is called vitalism. The body has an innate intelligence within it and needs no external interference to heal or adapt to the stressors of life. When the body is unable to combat these stressors, it leads to altered function and ultimately subluxation in the body. These stressors can be caused by the 3 T’s; thoughts, traumas, and toxins. This process can lead to dis-ease and a disruption between the brain and the rest of the body.
We believe healing comes from your own bodies ability to adapt to the surroundings and make the appropriate correction. We remove the subluxation and that ultimately allows your body to function at it’s highest potential and heal from within. By providing specific and controlled adjustments to the joint, the interference is removed and the nervous system is capable to function optimally.
Pregnancy and Chiropractic
If you are looking for a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancy, then The Haven is the place for you! Research shows that chiropractic care during pregnancy leads to a more straight-forward labor and decreased labor time, trauma and pain. Chiropractic care is important during pregnancy in order to maintain balance and alignment of the pelvis and the spine. When proper alignment is achieved, this allows optimum functionality and balance of the nervous system connecting to the female reproductive organs. This allows both mother and baby to receive all the nutrients throughout pregnancy and after.
When a woman becomes pregnant their bodies are changing and evolving every single day. Throughout the pregnancy, reproductive organs and the nervous system undergo a tremendous amount of stress and that can become overwhelming for women. Chiropractic care is designed to alleviate that stress and align the pelvis and spine, thus promoting an environment that is comfortable for both mother and baby.
Dr. Hannah is also certified in the Webster Technique. This technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment that focuses on analyzing and correcting the nervous system by balancing the pelvis, sacrum, and associated muscles and ligaments, which will optimize function during pregnancy and childbirth. This combination of corrections is very useful in correcting the nervous system and creating an environment that is optimal for pregnancy and childbirth.
Our intention at The Haven is to create an environment that empower mothers and fathers to have the pregnancy and birth of their dreams, whatever that may look like. We encourage mothers to be comfortable with their beautifully changing bodies and are honored to be apart of this journey with each family.
Pediatrics and Chiropractic
Mommies and daddies, did you know that 65% of neurological development occurs in your child’s first year of life?! Childbirth and childhood are physically demanding and it all starts with the birthing process, and arguably even while baby is in the womb! Studies have shown that routine deliveries place a tremendous amount of stress and pressure on your babies nervous system and spine, especially the neck. Regardless of each unique, and beautiful birth, there is likely an undetected trauma that has occurred.
If this undetected stressor is not corrected, it will continue to impact your baby throughout life. Because there is so much neurological, structural, and cognitive development happening, it is important to get corrected so every baby has the ability to maximize nervous system function during such a critical time in their lives.
Chiropractic care for babies is extremely safe, gentle and very effective. It will look different from an adult adjustment, but still aim to remove the subluxation from the babies body. Subluxations can occur throughout labor and delivery, so newborns should be checked as quickly as possible to get it corrected. The Haven is passionate about the health and wellness of children because we understand the impact a healthy nervous system has on development. We know it is easier to grow healthy children than to fix broken adults! Allowing your child’s body and nervous system to function at 100% throughout their life opens the door to tremendous possibilities. We are honored and grateful to be apart of this journey with your family!
Dr. Hannah is also Certified by the Academy Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP). This certification is a comprehensive program (+250 hours) designed to expand professional ability in adjusting techniques, evaluation, and assessment of different stages of development: from pregnancy, birth, infancy throughout childhood.
