Is a homebirth safer than a hospital birth?

|

I have been a little surprised at my reluctance when mentioning our homebirth choice, since I do no not have as much interest in defending my point of view as I used to. Realizing that your time is a very limited resource will do that. So I have done my best to collect some information regarding the actual statistics involving the safety and outcome measures of homebirths.

Something that I have not seen much coverage on is the inclusion of a Chiropractor in the expecting family’s homebirth team. It is getting much more common to have a midwife, midwife assistance, and doula. Having your family chiropractor on hand is something that cannot always be arranged, but I know most of my colleagues would love the chance to help the mother and child in this process.

Neuroplasticity: Can Chiropractic Help the Brain Change Itself?

|

As my wife finishes her master’s degree in early childhood education, I like to imagine a place where parents in Seattle have access to such a program for their struggling student. I realize there are programs, but most are focused on accepting a disability and not attempting to rewire their pliable brains so it goes away. Permanently.

When I saw this I wondered if the same stimulation could be used via the other senses of touch while using less used cortical stimulus via the cranial nerves. Could smell or aromatherapy used via the olfactory nerve? Could a chiropractic adjustment be used to effect a certain spinal tract and relay the impulse to a weak area of the brain?

Some of these questions are rhetorical as I already know the answer, but it is a shame that only small niche groups of Chiropractors strictly focus on the brain as it relates to neuroplasticity. Yes, many of us are creating this positive response via the adjustment, but there could not be a better time to educate our patients on the subject. Now could be the time to ask the public to send it patients who have struggled with brain injuries, learning difficulties and strokes.

Chiropractic and headaches during pregnancy

|

My wife, Kate, recently reached the final trimester of our second pregnancy(I say very loosely, as I realize I am involved strictly in a supportive role.) With Kate’s first pregnancy there was very few if any symptoms, and the pregnancy was relatively stress free. This second pregnancy hasRead More >

Seattle, Bruce Lee, and Chiropractic History

1995 was a very special year in the history of Chiropractic. Growing up in a chiropractic family, I have had the good fortune to have been taught the history of chiropractic from a very early age. I can still remember doing my first “biography” in 3rd grade. IRead More >

If you were to hand pick a spokesperson for your profession, you could not do better than Jerry Rice. Thanks to Evri.com, I found this brief article about Jerry Rice speaking at a popular chiropractic seminar about the benefit chiropractic adjustments gave throughout his hall of fame career.

Diet can cause depression?!? Go Figure.
