Did you know that kinesiology tape can be used to tape the belly during pregnancy? Depending on how it is applied, it can help relieve low back pain or pressure as baby starts to drop lower into the pelvis. Or it can help relieve pressure under the ribs to make it easier for mom to breathe.
Think chiropractic is all about crackin’ backs?
Some things that happened today in the office:
-Met a first time mama and explained how the Webster technique can help to balance the structures of the pelvis, create a smoother birth and allow for a more comfortable pregnancy. 🤰
-Did some instrument assisted soft tissue work with a with recreational volleyball player and talked ankle ligaments and musculature of the lower leg.
-Helped a breast cancer survivor with some headaches and back pain that she’s been having post FLAP surgery and made a plan for scar rehab.
-Completed care for a patient trigger thumb who was looking for an alternative to surgery 🏽 and she’s back to smooth range of motion.
-Worked on TMJ musculature and gave some strategies to work on at home when stress ➡️ jaw clenching.
Chiropractic can help with so much more than low back pain, (but we’re pretty good at that too).
Chiropractic is a safe, effective and drug-free way to manage pain and improve function for many injuries and issues affecting the spine, joints and surrounding muscles.
