Chiropractic Care and Pregnancy
The natural, effective and drug-free nature of chiropractic care makes it one of the most commonly sought-out medical care for expectant mothers experiencing pregnancy related pain. For the safety of the developing child, it is advised that pregnant mothers avoid any medications or drugs. Chiropractic care before, during and after pregnancy helps women stay healthy and strong during their pregnancy journey. Tilson Chiropractic FamilyCare uses special techniques and equipment to allow the mother to be treated comfortably and effectively.
During pregnancy, the mother's body undergoes extraordinary changes. Rapid weight and body changes over a relatively short period of time causes pain in pregnant women. Such symptoms commonly include low back pain, hip pain and hip dysfunction, swollen legs and ankles, morning sickness, misalignment and muscle aches. Dr. Tilson has helped hundreds of expectant mothers to have a happy and healthy pregnancy journey. He does this by optimizing the function of the nervous system--the brain to body connection--through specific corrections to the spine called adjustments.
At Tilson Chiropractic FamilyCare, patients can receive regular prenatal massages after their first trimester and receive adjustments up until the week of expected delivery. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) recommends that pregnant women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to achieve pelvic balance. This can give babies a better chance of moving into a correct position for birth. Optimal baby position at the time of birth also results in an easier labor and delivery for both the mother and baby.
It is important to understand that chiropractors are not turning babies or assessing and managing any fetal conditions or positions directly, but rather ensuring balance in a pregnant woman's body which may result in the fetus achieving an ideal position for birth.

Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?Chiropractic adjustments are very safe when applied by a licensed chiropractor in a clinical setting. Chiropractors spend many years of training on examination and correction of the spine and are the most qualified professionals to perform spinal adjustments. Dr. Tilson will assess you for any risks before commencing care.

Why Do I Need Adjustments If I’m Not In Pain?Chiropractic is about healing the brain-body connection through the spine. Chiropractors are specialists of the nervous system, composed of the brain, spinal cord and all the accompanying nerves. The goal of adjusting the spine is to restore proper motion, improve spinal function and remove interference from the nervous system. By relieving subluxations of the spine, your nerves can properly relay information to and from your brain to the rest of your body. Only 10% of nerves are able to process pain, leaving many subluxations to go undetected while affecting up to 90% of your nerves. Visiting your chiropractor regularly to assess your spinal biomechanics and nervous system can help detect, maintain and prevent dysfunction throughout your body.

What is the "Popping" Sound I Sometimes Hear During Adjustments?"The popping noises are called "cavitations" and are caused by gas bubbles being released from spinal joints during an adjustment. This noise is completely normal and does not cause any pain or discomfort. Synovial fluid is produced from the joints of your spine. By-products of synovial fluid are oxygen, nitrogen, and CO2 gasses. When a joint is gapped, the gas is released. Once the joint opens up, the synovial fluid re-lubricates the joint surface and normal motion is restored. Just as you "pop" a bottle of champagne, the results are worth celebrating!

Chiropractic Care for Children
Children, like adult chiropractic patients, can greatly benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractic pediatrics are safe for children when performed by highly skilled doctors of chiropractic health care. Adding chiropractic treatment to childhood wellness care makes it easier to handle problems early or prevent them all together. Chiropractic adjustments are a natural way to reduce your child’s pain and improve healthy growth and development.
Early spine care provides protection to your child’s nervous system. The brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves are responsible for your child’s digestion, elimination, respiratory and immune system function. It is important these systems develop properly in order to promote long-term health.
The added benefit of childhood spinal manipulation is early detection of symptoms for correction. Did you know that an infant's spine will grow by 50% during the first year alone, doubling in size within their first 2 years! Scoliosis, for example, is an abnormal lateral curve in the spine which usually develops during childhood. Diagnosing scoliosis at earlier stages increases the likelihood of correction with chiropractic before the condition becomes permanent.
