Pregnancy
Prenatal care is an important step for both mother and baby. A woman’s body undergoes countless changes during pregnancy and many women may experience:
- discomfort of the pubic symphysis
- low back pain
- hip pain
- tingling in the arms and legs
- sciatica
- fatigue
- postnatal depression
Misalignments in the pelvis and imbalances in the uterus can contribute to subluxations and postural changes. These changes also affect the baby. The uterus attaches to the inner pelvis through ligaments and soft tissues, and the mother’s pelvic imbalances create torsions on the ligaments, thus changing the shape of the uterus and giving less room for the baby to grow. Often times, this process can alter the way the fetus is placed in the mother’s womb.
Chiropractic helps create more space for your baby to grow and develop in a healthy way.
The Chiropractor’s role is to correct subluxations, to facilitate balance in the pregnant woman’s pelvis and help the baby gain more space to grow and develop healthy. Every adjustment is secure and gentle; the chiropractor is trained in the Webster technique, a specific and advanced chiropractic method specifically for pregnancy.
Regular checkups during pregnancy can help both mother and baby make the whole process healthier and easier. Women who received prenatal chiropractic care reported less discomfort during labor and had an easier and safer delivery. Presenting the baby head first is essential for a natural delivery. In addition, adjustments during pregnancy help the mother’s nervous system to maintain proper communication throughout the body and help the baby’s development.
Sport
Athletes of all disciplines and levels benefit greatly from chiropractic care, both to facilitate rapid and complete recovery from sports injuries and to improve performance and decrease the risk of injury.
To compete at 100%, the athlete needs a perfect psychophysical balance. His Nervous System must be able to perfectly transmit the orders that the brain sends to the muscles and all the organs. Any interference at the neurological level due to subluxations leads to an imbalance and, consequently, to a greater effort in carrying out the necessary efforts.
That is why 90% of the best athletes in the world of sports regularly see chiropractors, such as Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Kelly Slater, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Serena Williams, Andrew Murray, and many more. In fact, in the last Olympics most of the national teams had the figure of the sports chiropractor in their Health team.
Stress
Se calcula que el 90% de las visitas medicas son por problemas relacionados con estrés. Vivimos en una sociedad estresante, en constante movimiento y, a veces, olvidamos que nuestros cuerpos también necesitan un cuidado adecuado. La acumulación de factores estresantes físicos, mentales y emocionales afecta la función del sistema nervioso y también puede volverse sintomática. En QV sabemos que la vida se vuelve caótica, pero queremos ayudarte a que puedas lidiar mejor y vivir más relajado.
Children and babies
During the first year of life, the neurological changes that occur are crucial for your child’s growth and development. The stress and trauma of childbirth not only affect the mother, but also play a very important role in the neurological dysfunction of babies due to the involvement of key areas in the baby’s spine such as the skull, the upper cervical area and the sacrum. Investing in chiropractic check-ups for your baby ensures that his/her Nervous System is working well and the spine is balanced. This gives the body the ability to better adapt to life’s stressors and function at its full potential. Regular chiropractic care during infancy and childhood has been shown to:
- Improve focus / concentration
- Easier bowel movements
- Improves sleep
- Colic and reflux decrease
- Decrease ear infections
- Decrease allergies and asthma
- Improve behavior
- Decreases anxiety
(Chiropractic does not treat any of the symptoms and / or conditions mentioned, instead frees the nervous system of interference, allowing the body to heal and regulate itself naturally. This, in turn, creates an optimal environment, for optimal health.)
Teenagers
As our kids turn to teenagers, we see a shift in the stressors they struggle with. The world places great demands on our children, rushing them to grow faster, learn complex material, and excel in sports and extracurricular activities. At quiropráctica vital we strive to create an environment in which these growing people can not only feel safe, but also empowered to be who they really are. During these burgeoning years, chiropractic care has been shown to:
-
Reduces tension and pain
-
Improves the quality of sleep
-
Balances hormones
-
Decreases allergies + asthma
-
Improves defenses
-
Improves athletic performance
-
Improves academic performance
-
Improves focus and mood
(Chiropractic does not treat any of the symptoms and / or conditions mentioned, but instead frees the nervous system of interference, allowing the body to heal and regulate itself naturally. This, in turn, creates an optimal environment, for optimal health.)
If we want our children to grow up healthy, we must make sure that their spine is balanced. A check-up can reassure you about your children’s health or give you the information you need to deal with the situation effectively.
Seniors
For the seniors, chiropractic care is very valuable in maintaining mobility and balance of the joints. In addition, going regularly to the chiropractor helps in the prevention of common diseases typical of the elderly, such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and can have different benefits for the person:
-
Better mobility and flexibility
-
Better balance and coordination
-
Lower risk of falls
-
Less degeneration in joints
-
Fewer hospitalizations
-
Less use of medications
-
Better life quality

Family
Chiropractic is for the whole family!
The goal is to improve the spine, to improve body function, and for this reason everyone can benefit from this. A healthier body: from the little ones… to the grown-ups. Ultimately it’s about Health … and who doesn’t want it to be great for their loved ones?
Sometimes we choose to start caring for the spine when symptoms appear, and the truth is that it can often be late.
At quiropráctica vital we believe pro-active health care is vital and therefore we facilitate family care plans. Call us and we will explain 🙂
