Chiropractic Care
Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive approach that encourages proper function and development. The adjustment given to a child is very gently. The pressure used in the adjustment for an infant is the same amount of pressure used to access the ripeness of a tomato. Chiropractic care for children is important due to how quickly children grow and develop. Pediatric Chiropractors detect and correct interference to the nervous system. which when not corrected can lead to symptoms such as:
colic
constipation
trouble breastfeeding
acid reflux
ear infections
sleep difficulties
allergies
and more!

Chiropractic and Pregnancy
Dr. Cooper is Webster certified. Webster Technique is a chiropractic technique that focuses on restoring proper neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis. It involves accessing and treating the joints, muscles, and ligaments surrounding the pelvis. This technique may have a positive effect on the causes of dystocia (difficult labor). Such as inadequate uterine function and baby Mal-presentation. Moms who seek chiropractic care throughout pregnancy tend to experience the following:
shorter labor
less need for interventions during labor
decreased back and pelvic pain
optimal baby positioning, secondary to proper pelvic alignment.
Chiropractic for pain relief
Chiropractic is most commonly known for its ability to relieve low back pain. Pain is often a late symptom of a spinal subluxation. A spinal subluxation is a joint that is not moving properly and is irritating the nervous system, sending improper information to the brain. This then can result in changes in posture, increased inflammation, and increased release of stress hormones. If not corrected, pain and degeneration occurs. Other conditions that chiropractic can help with include:
headaches
sciatica
carpal tunnel
neck pain
and more!
Chiropractic and wellness care
The goal of Chiropractic is not only to help you feel better, but to help you function better. Your nervous system is in charge of controlling every aspect of your body, when your brain and body can communicate without interference, that is when healing begins.
Many patients seek chiropractic for the following:
improved quality of sleep
digestion regulation
mental clarity
improved posture
elevated athletic performance
and so much more!
Kinesiology Tape
Kinesiology Tape works by increasing proprioceptive activity to the body part being taped. Proprioceptive activity is your brain’s awareness of that body part in space. This allows your brain to more quickly and easily detect damage and stress placed on the body.
Kinesiology Tape can be helpful in:
decreasing swelling
providing stability to a joint
decreasing muscle tension
activating hypotonic muscles
providing support to pregnant moms
