Birth & Chiropractic

By Glenn McElhose on June 11th, 2009 under News

Hi,
recently a really good friend of mine from PA sent me the following message regarding a work related experience that I thought I’d share. She’s a chiropractor and has been for a good amount of time now and frequently does adjustments on women that are pregnant as well as on newborns. In addition to the following, I’ve also heard some other amazing stories from her about her use with the Webster Technique.  Do a search on this to learn more, but basically, it’s an adjustment for pregnant women about to give birth. It’s done close to the birthing process and is used to treat women that have a possible breach birth that will then most likely lead to the C-section, which does not sound fun.  From what I understand, it’s an adjustment that opens things up and allows the little baby person to shift around and get into head down position for an easier birth. I’m not sure of the success rate on this but my friend seems to have a pretty high success rate.
So now to her story – about doing an adjustment on a new born. While that sounds a bit crazy to adjust such a small one, it actually makes perfect sense. Anything that can be done before tossing drugs at someone is always something that I prefer to at least consider before hand. One last note before the quick story – this is just something that I found of interest that I thought was worth sharing. This is merely meant to pass on info about options we all have – not to start any kind of debate or to provide a place for people to vent frustrations.
Thanks, and I hope you take something away from this or can pass it on to someone that may benefit.

Hi to my chiropractic friends!

Something occurred on Thursday to remind me in a remarkable way of the power of a chiropractic adjustment.  I’m not telling this story to take any credit or because I think it’s a miracle above other miracles.  It’s only what is supposed to happen when we are able to remove the interference and connect people to their source.  Miracles should be the natural state!  It was definitely a highlight of my 10 year professional career and up there with one of the coolest things I’ve witnessed in my life, including the birth of my son.
