We have just had a great weekend exhibiting at the Bump 2 Baby show at Westpoint Exeter. It was great to meet so many wonderful pregnant ladies, parents and young children. I hope we achieved our mission of increasing awareness of the importance of chiropractic care during pregnancy, for babies and during childhood.

Birth can be a stressful and traumatic time for both mum and baby, even a natural, drug free birth can lead to subluxations of the cranium,spine and pelvis.
Robert Mendelsohn M.D. states that:
“in a substantial percentage of births, obstetrical intervention adversely affects the physical or intellectual capacity of the child for the rest of their life.”
G.Gutmann a German MD concluded in a paper published in ‘Manuelle Medizin’ in 1987 that blocked nerve impulses at the atlas (the top vertebra in the neck) cause many clinical features from central motor impairment to lowered resistance to infections especially in the ear nose and throat.
Dr Gutmann reported that his colleague V. Frymann examined a random group of 1250 babies five days after birth and found that 211 suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness. Manual examination revealed cervical (neck) strain in 95% of them! (what about the other 5% - we don't know if they had problems elsewhere in the cranium, spine or pelvis).

We have lots of other research articles and case studies for you to check out in the practice along with testimonials from relieved parents. We will always offer a free consultation to babies and children because we know how essential it is for them to be subluxation free for life.
