Chiropractic Benefits to Parents in Woodbury MN.

Chiropractic for parents in Woodbury MN

Physical Stress: Carrying around children on your hip, nursing an infant or piggy backing a preschooler all take their toll on the body. Not to mention the wrestling, and ninja skills you adapt when you become a parent. There are many a nights when there will be a child launching themselves off of the couch and screaming, "Mom and Dad, catch!" as I see them flying through the air out of the corner of my eye.

Mental Stress: Being touched is very therapeutic. Chiropractic care is the 15 minutes during the day where parents can think about themselves and not have to worry about anything else for that short moment. As much as we love our little buggers they cause us so much stress from their little sniffles to how they are doing in school to wondering if you are a doing a good job parenting. Not to mention the lack of time when you get home from work and scarf down a cold dinner or bowl of cereal while you have a baby or child crying or a school aged child saying, "Mom, mom, mom" or "Dad, dad, dad!" Don't even get me started on the whining and crying. For some men and women there is also a lot of stress as to the finances of having children. We can't help you there but we can make it affordable for all patients to get treatment!

Lack of Sleep: For families with small children you may be up with your kids in the middle of the night. Chiropractic has shown to aid in sleep for babies through adults! So that means more shut eye for parents! For those parents burning the candles at both ends trying to finish laundry or other house hold chores chiropractic can help with a more restful night sleep.

Starting from the moment you even think about becoming pregnant you should see your chiropractor! Even from the first thought of becoming a parent there are many emotional and physical obstacles that can be lessened with chiropractic care. Everything from the waist down is innervated by the nerves coming out of the low back, and we mean everything! From the uterus, ovaries, vagina, prostate, and penis. These can be kept working at their optimal potential with chiropractic treatments. Then of course pregnancy itself has its own stresses on the body from the hormones that loosen the ligaments to the large stomach to sleeping problems. Once the baby is here it is amazing that such a small person can be loved so much but also cause so much physical and emotional stress! Mid night feedings, to colicky baby, to neck, back and shoulder pains from feeding the baby by both parents. You are constantly looking at that sweat bundle of joy while your neck is screaming! As your child gets bigger that comes with its own physical and emotional stresses.
