What Benefits are there for Newborns to get Adjusted by a CBP Chiropractor?

October 17, 2018 by Desire Treski Leave a Comment

The best benefit of having a newborn adjusted by a CBP doctor is that they have no pressure on their spinal cord at a young age. This allows their bodies to grow at 100%.  There have been many times when a child has had birthing trauma.

What are birthing traumas?

Let’s look at what a birthing trauma could be. It could be a natural birth. Any mom will tell you that giving birth to a child is very traumatic not only for themselves but for the baby as well.

There are also serious birthing situations like if someone needs a vacuum extraction. This is when a suction cup is placed on the top of the child’s head and their necks are yanked as they are being pulled out of their mother’s womb.

C-sections are the most traumatic birthing trauma. A lot of people don’t realize it because they think you just go in through a flap of skin and lift the baby out. However, it is very traumatic for the baby because the baby is usually lower in the birth canal, or descending into the birth canal and then someone is trying to bring them out a different way and that creates a lot of trauma on the baby’s neck.

When the baby comes through the birthing canal, he or she is exposed to a lot of beneficial bacteria, which the baby can use to help develop their immune system. When they are born through a c-section they miss out on that good bacteria.

A lot of times in a C-section the cervical, which is the neck, pressure marks the genetic code on the babies for asthma and allergies. A lot of times you’ll see babies who have been birthed through C-sections will be later diagnosed with asthma and/or allergies through the cervical cord trauma.

Cervical cord trauma also leads to sudden infant death syndrome. Trauma occurs to the cervical spine and the baby dies in its sleep because it doesn’t have the correct nerve flow. This can be avoided.

During the everyday.

While an infant is developing they are nursing. They are usually nursing and gravitate to one side more than the other because they may have a subluxation in their neck causing irritation. If the infant tends to have a lot of acid reflux that could be a result of a subluxation as well.

How can a CBP Chiropractor help?

Many of these maladies can be addressed with corrective care. By bringing in your child to a CBP chiropractor you are giving your child the best chance to grow at optimum levels. They will be sick less and be less irritated. Make an appointment for your infant today and get them on the road to optimum health.

What is a Subluxation? How to tell if you have one.

What is a subluxation?

Let’s start with the basics. We hear this technical word being used, “subluxation”, but what is it exactly? According to Dr. B and the CBP (Chiropractic Biophysics) community, it is defined as, “any joint in the body that is not in its normal position.”

When CBP Chiropractors look at the spine, there is a specific spinal model, an ideal spine, that they look to. Anything diverting from that ideal is considered a subluxation, sometimes referred to as a misalignment.

Subluxation vs. Muscle Soreness

So how do you tell the difference between a subluxation and just muscle soreness? According to Dr. B, if you move and pain increases, it is usually indicative of a muscle soreness. However, if you’re at rest and a joint is in pain, then it is usually indicative of a subluxation.

Subluxation affects the nerve communications between the brain and the body. This will sometimes cause pain, but will ALWAYS decrease body function. You get subluxated from big traumas, like car accidents, or small ones, like looking at your cell phone.

But what if I just can’t tell?

Most people cannot tell the difference between a subluxation and muscle soreness. Muscle soreness can be a symptom of a subluxation. When you have a subluxation, the muscles surrounding the misaligned area are being overworked, which can lead to inflammation.

How can I correct a subluxation?

There is only one way you can correct a subluxation and that is by seeing your chiropractor on a regular basis. Subluxation causes muscle imbalance and in order for your muscles to work correctly, it is important to think of your chiropractor as a personal trainer for your spine.

If you want to lose weight, you go to the gym and seek out a professional to help you get into shape. It is important to look at your chiropractor in the same way. One session will not correct a subluxation you have worked a lifetime to create. It takes time, dedication and the direction of a professional, like Dr. B.

If you’re interested in learning more about subluxation and how to start on the path of healing,  speak with Dr. B at Active Family Chiropractic, PC.
