It’s the month of love! Everyone knows love isn’t just a box of See’s candies and a dozen roses – it’s wanting the best for someone in all aspects of life! That’s why at DeMoss Chiropractic we encourage patients to invite their loved ones to see the chiropractor! Here are just a few reasons to bring your loved on to the chiropractor!

• Regular chiropractic users report improved physical and emotional health, less stress, less drug use, more energy, and life enjoyment. Chiropractic is proven to boost you and your loved one’s quality of life.
• The body?s wisdom sends energy and information to the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This helps you adapt your internal environment and your external environment to maintain homeostasis. When this energy is flowing through someone without interference the body and mind are more sensitive to the body?s needs, thus allowing the best expression of the self.
• The true purpose of chiropractic is not a treatment of aches and pains but rid the body of subluxations as they occur so people are better able to adapt to life?s stresses. Successfully adapting to life?s stresses is what true health is all about.

Nearly every Chiropractor in the world checks and adjusts their own childrens? spines on a regular basis. Current science and research prove that providing care for a child?s spine and nervous system on a regular basis proves to be one of the most important and necessary strategies a parent can implement for their family?s health. Chiropractors work tirelessly to educate the public about the supreme role of the nervous system in achieving optimal bodily function. Great health requires a healthy spine. Chiropractic adjustments directly influence the health and quality function of the entire body through spinal mobility and alignment.
A 1992 study proved the birth process to be one of the most physically traumatic events a person will encounter in their lifetime. Evidence from the study revealed that the majority of newborns suffer micro-trauma to brain stem tissues. The research noted that harmful physical trauma during the birth process causes misalignment of the upper neck area. The subtle misalignment creates a disturbance to normal nervous system function. The authors studied six hundred children under the age of two years old and found some form of asymmetry of posture, alignment, and/or movement in every infant assessed.
Signs and symptoms attributed directly to interference in the nervous system included breastfeeding difficulties, torticollis, sleeping disorders, loss of appetite, feet deformities, swelling of the face/head, fever of unknown origin, extreme sensitivity of the neck, and parents concerned with their child?s feeding habits. These findings substantiating many other similar studies conducted on adults and babies suffering from upper neck syndromes (called vertebral subluxation) that often exhibited no outward signs or symptoms. The majority of vertebral subluxations occur with no symptoms. Achieving optimal health requires specific testing provided by Chiropractors specifically educated and trained to make corrections necessary for children and adults to thrive.
Studies continue to prove the message Chiropractors have been spreading for over 120 years. All infants, children, and adults deserve to hear the truth about the beneficial link that comes from life lived with properly aligned and mobile spine. Chiropractors believe health care should involve proactive education and care that does not involve unnecessary drugs and surgery. Regular Chiropractic care removes spinal misalignments and asymmetries that inevitably cause dysfunction and dis-ease.
The 1992 study affirmed what Chiropractic research began teaching over a century ago. Doctors should check all children for restricted movement of the head and increased pain sensitivity of the upper cervical spine. Pediatricians and parents alike often remain unaware of this research and receive very little training or guidance on necessary steps required to assess and cultivate an infant?s healthy spine and nervous system.
Chiropractic does not simply help reduce or eliminate pain. Chiropractors pursue the optimization of body function in every individual by proactively unlocking the body?s innate potential to prevent pain and disease from ever occurring. An adjustment empowers the nervous system to operate as intended. Health care exists not just when pain subsides but when abundant life flows freely through the body.

?Kinematic Imbalances Due To Suboccipital Strain in Newborns.?

According to the Mayo clinic, ?a concussion is a traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are usually temporary but can include headaches and problems with concentration, memory, balance, and coordination.?
Any blow to the head or upper body can result in a concussion including but not limited to: physical altercations or fights, playground injuries, car accidents, bicycle accidents, falling down the stairs, or other falls.
When considering sports for your child to participate in, remember that not all sports include physical contact, but all sports do have the potential to result in a concussion. It?s important to know the signs and potential damage.
It?s important to know the signs of a concussion. It?s common for a blow to the head to result in a concussion, while not always causing a loss of consciousness. Many will claim to feel ?fine? not being aware that they are dealing with a concussion so it?s important to know the typical signs:
– Loss of consciousness
– Memory problems
– Severe Headache
– Blurred vision
– Trouble walking
– Confusion and saying things that don?t make sense
– Slurred speech
– Drowsiness or feeling sluggish
– Unresponsiveness
– Sensitivity to light or sound.
These symptoms are a sign of a possible concussion and anyone displaying any of the above symptoms after a blow to the head or upper body should be taken immediately for examination by DeMoss Chiropractic or other healthcare professional.
We?re trained in how to gently and properly adjust a child?s spine. While a blow to the head or neck may not actually cause a concussion, it very well may have created a slight misalignment to the vertebra in the spine resulting a vertebral subluxation (nerve interference that can interrupt the signal from the brain that goes down the spinal cord and out to the muscles, organs and glads.)
