No More Potty Problems with Chiropractic!

Every young parent has experienced the perils of potty training their children. There is nothing more frustrating then having a 3 year old pee all over the floor while waiting in line at McDonald's, as well as needing to carry along extra clothes in an already full "mommy to to go" bag.

 

Many people are horrified at the concept of children receiving chiropractic care. They envision an aggressive, "cracking" adjustment that an adult would experience and can't imagine how this could not be harmful to a child,  much less be beneficial to their health.Contrary to the popular myth, chiropractic adjustments for babies and children have incredible benefits for a variety of childhood ailments. In this post, I am going to share with you a testimonial from a patient who has experienced success with potty accidents. 

"Lucy" ( name changed to protect patient privacy) started bringing her three children to see Dr. Shelly at Sioux Falls Chiropractic a week ago, after having a discussion with her pastor who referred her to chiropractic care after sharing with him about the frequent urinary accidents her daughter was having. 

  Upon examination of her daughter, Lucy stated that "Dr.Shelly told me that her sacrum was so far out of place that she was surprised she could feel when she had to go to the bathroom." After one adjustment Lucy's daughter successfully went 3 days accident free! In addition to this victory, Lucy happily announced that she has cut back a lot on laundry and no longer has to bring extra outfits when they leave home.

Although this testimonial is about a child, incontinence is also an even more embarrassing issue for women who have just given birth, as well as older adults. Why deal with the stress and suffer in silence, and instead give chiropractic adjustments a chance?

Can't Sleep? Try Chiropractic!

We all have those nights where we struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep, due to the stress that life readily disperses. Chamomile tea, soft music and a hot bath are common ways to help people get their z's, but did you know that having regular chiropractic adjustments can help with the occasional sleepless night, as well as people who struggle with insomnia on a regular basis? Dr. Ryan Esser of Sioux Falls Chiropractic explains the benefits of chiropractic adjustments as it relates to those who experience a lack of sleep.

“ By having stress in the body, your body is unable to properly function as a whole, which can cause loss of sleep or insomnia.This can be caused through many processes biochemically, as well as muscular dysfunction. For example, If the body isn't able to process its own melatonin (which is a biochemical substance essential for the brain to get that rhythmic sleep pattern) and if the muscles are twitching, this can also affect sleep patterns. So by a chiropractic adjustment, our goal as chiropractors is to release that tension off of the nerves and the central nerve system, there by facilitating normal biochemical and mechanical function of the human body, decreasing affects of insomnia. We also focus on nutritional aspects that can help facilitate normal and healthy biochemical processes to fight the affects of insomnia.”- Dr. Ryan M. Esser

When you come in for your adjustment, be sure to ask your doctor about Myocalm PM, which is a completely pure natural sleep aid/muscle relaxant. Remember, your sleep is far too precious of a thing to waste. Sweet dreams!

Come Discover your "New Normal"!

The word "normal" tends to be in everyone's vocabulary, and yet everyone seems to have a different definition for what can be defined as "normal".  We tend to define "normal" as something that we know well and have grown accustomed to. For example, your "normal routine" may be waking up at 6 a.m., having a cup of coffee, reading the newspaper and heading out the door for work. Anything other then this would be considered "abnormal'; a wrench in what a person knows to be true.

In chiropractic care, the "normal" has nothing to do with pain and discomfort. At Sioux Falls Chiropractic, we aim to turn your "normal" of daily headaches, back pain when you get out of bed and neck discomfort around to being abnormal for you. The experienced doctors and supporting staff at Sioux Falls Chiropractic desire to educate and assist you in finding a new and better "normal" that you can call your own!
