Parenthood: Where days (and nights) are long and years are short. A place where happiness is homemade, and the purest of earthly love is found inside mommas warm hugs. It's the peace that comes from knowing the most precious thing you'll wear is your kids arms around your neck as you carry them everywhere. 

As parents, we want the absolute best for our kids. The wonder and potential in their eyes and smiles gives us a purpose for everything we do. It's often said that behind every confident child is a parent who believed in them first. Parenthood is a never-ending process of sacrificially pouring into children to ensure they grasp their full potential. 

It may be difficult to imagine a child would need care.  They seldom complain about back pain, and their bodies appear to be made of rubber the way they bounce back from falls. Truth is, children's bodies are under a lot of stress while they are in a constant state of development. Luckily, they are very resilient, but it is not uncommon for these injuries to develop into patterns of movement that affect their spinal health over time. 

A child's nervous system controls and regulates their growing body. From blood flow, to immune function, to brain function and bone growth, the nervous system plays a central role in keeping things working and healthy.  At Thrive, we offer very gentle and non-invasive treatments that work to correct underlying issues before they become hard-wired in during development, providing support for a successful childhood. Children will often become relaxed and even fall asleep following treatment, a good sign that it has been effective. 

Children are our greatest joy, so don't miss the moments and memories they bless us with. Take action and give your child the best health you can. Please scroll down to view downloadable content for kids and strengthening their immune, endocrine, and nervous system.

Chiropractic care benefits all aspects of your whole body health.

As your body undergoes changes to enable growth for your baby, extra pressure is put on the spine. We work to make sure your spine is functioning at its best. When the nerves of the spine become impacted, malfunction ensues.

For moms-to-be, this can come in the form of tightening of pelvic muscles and ligaments, which can affect uterine function. These tense muscles and ligaments can constrain the uterus, which can make the baby (and mom) more uncomfortable. A better functioning pelvic floor can give the baby more room to move

If you think of the uterus as a hot air balloon, what would happen to the balloon portion if you took one of the lines and pulled it very tight?

In addition to mechanical demands, your body needs the right nutritional support to allow for proper growth and development, and also to ensure that you get the best health. Many issues that you might be experiencing come from an incomplete nutritional diet that is leading to a depletion of nutrients in your body.
