“My nose is like a spicket today!” “My eyes are itching like crazy!” “HELP!”

Lakeville community members often come to Back to Wellness Chiropractic for the treatment of their allergies, seasonal or food-related. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by a hypersenstive immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.

Therefore, a misaligned neck can cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. Dr. Kayla Zirpel-Proctor recommends spinal examinations to Lakeville area community members to determine if chiropractic care can reduce their allergic and asthmatic reactions.

Additional lifestyle areas Dr. Kayla specializes in and recommends for her practice members suffering from allergies are:

  •  Paleolithic Nutrition: We are genetically designed to consume the diet of our ancestors.
  •  Detoxification Program: We spring-clean our houses-the same should go for our bodies! Our bodies can accumulate toxins that stress our immune system and lead to allergy-like symptoms, such as headaches, runny nose, sinus congestion. etc.

Special chiropractic table with mid-piece lowered to comfortably hold baby

Ever shifted and squirmed in an airplane seat during a flight to get comfortable? That’s what babies have to do in a misaligned (aka, “subluxated”) mother’s pelvis during pregnancy!

To have the best chance for the healthiest conception, pregnancy, labor and delivery, a mother’s spine and nerve system must be like a well-tuned and well-adjusted musical instrument. 

I’m partial to flutes, so imagine flute key that is  slightly out of alignment. The pitch, tone and everything about the musical piece the flautist plays is out of harmony with the orchestra.

If we liken the flautist to the mother’s nerve system, the flute to the mother’s womb,  and the orchestra to her body, here is what may happen:

  • Tension on the pelvic ligaments –> twisting of the uterus –> back pain in pregnancy, labor, and delivery
  • Unhealthy baby positions in pregnancy and delivery; higher chances of C-section
  • Decreased blood flow to the mother’s reproductive organs and less oxygen to the baby
  • Maternal stress hormones cross the placenta –>decreased digestion, growth, and immunity for the baby
  • Long periods of maternal stress –> irritability, crying, digestive disorders, and long-term effects in the developing brain and nerve system extending into adulthood 

Babies also can’t let you know that their spines need a checkup. I know parents want to give their kids the best start in life, and that best start begins with a fully functioning spine and nerve system. 

I will speak for your babies–”Even though I’m exhausted after this whole birth thing, I need a spinal checkup NOW!”
