Vitalistic Chiropractic Care
Vital energy is the expression of life through the body. This innate intelligence that governs the body can become diminished through the stressors of everyday life. Physical traumas, our emotional/mental state, and exposure to toxins can be factors in the decline of vital energy or life force in a system that cause what chiropractors call Subluxations.
A Subluxation, or a Subluxation pattern, develops when a system is experiencing a heightened sense of chaos due to the inability to fully process and adapt to the stressors of life. The inability to release this stored potential energy can affect the body’s ability to function optimally. These alterations can be seen in the biomechanics of the skeletal structure, on a neurological level, as well as changes in the neurochemistry and electromagnetic field of the body.
Through the vitalistic lens, we know that the body has an innate ability to self heal and self regulate so long as there is no interference in the system. Our approach is based on removing any interference within the nervous system - the mind/body connection. To release the stored potential energy and revitalize optimal nerve function within a system through the chiropractic adjustment so that a greater sense of ease, physiological function and mental clarity is felt after each session.
Webster Technique
Webster Technique has become the gold standard for adjusting perinatal women, as well as infants and children due to its low-force nature. The main focus is to balance the sacrum and pelvis by applying gentle motion to the osseous structures. To aid in this process, we also work with the muscles and ligaments that directly impact the functional movement patterns of the sacrum and pelvis. The goal here is to create balance between the sacrum and the pelvis while maximizing the space available in the pelvis for the baby to sit comfortably. By doing so, we reduce neural tension in the spine and allow for more direct neurological transmission and nutrient transport from mother to baby.
Webster Technique is generally applied at the beginning of pregnancy and can continue into postpartum care as the body continues to change. The frequency of visits truly depends on a case-by-case scenario and can be discussed at your initial and second visits. Please feel free to reach out for a consultation or for any general inquiries or questions regarding the Webster Technique.
