Traumatic Birth Syndrome and Birth Trauma – they both refer to the same thing – the negative effects of today’s birthing methods on a newborn. You may think your newborn looks healthy, and your baby’s doctor might even assure you that you have a healthy baby, but what you and  your doctor may not be aware of  is insidious nerve interference!  This leads to an irritable baby and desperate parents.

Most mothers give birth lying down – if you knew the history of why this is so you may be amused!!  (see footnote) This position works contrary to the laws of gravity and reduces the size of the mother’s pelvic opening which then sets up the groundwork for interference often with some pulling and twisting that affects the infant’s delicate head, neck and spine (which is still only cartilage).  Introduce forceps or a vacuum extraction and you are creating even more trauma to the poor baby’s nervous system.  These common, everyday birth practices produce birth trauma. Some types of birth trauma can be serious, such as spinal cord and brain stem injuries, neurological defects, and sudden infant death syndrome. Less life-threatening birth trauma (but very real trauma whichever way you view it) may result in learning disabilities, inadequate immune system functioning, hearing/vision problems and very commonly, difficulty in feeding due to the baby being unable to move the neck without pain.  This often explains why a baby will refuse to breastfeed on one side!

We believe that every infant should be checked for nerve interference as soon after birth as possible. Traumatic Birth Syndrome can result in immediate life-threatening symptoms or it can weaken one’s potential over the years. To ensure your baby is on the best road possible for optimal health, be sure to arrange a newborn chiropractic exam as soon after delivery as possible.

Nerve interference causes disease that can rob your child of an active, healthy and long life. Chiropractic adjustments on children are extremely low force and equally as effective as the ones we perform on you!

Dr McMinns own five children were all born at home and had their first chiropractic adjustment within hours of being born.  We are delighted to know Daisy Birthing in Brighton (check out their facebook – Daisy Birthing Brighton & Hove) can offer you the support you need, to have a safe and gentle birth experience for both mother and baby.

Footnote:   Scholars claim that King Louis XIV  persuaded his physician to ensure his wife would give birth lying down so that he could peer from behind a curtain to watch his child being born and what was being done in royal households was copied by the general public. The Royal Household were the trend setters of the day.  Doctors of that time were also convincing women to give birth on their backs, as delivering babies from mothers lying on tables is much easier to do than, if they are squatting, standing, or on hands and knees during delivery!

Brighton and Hove Chiropractors

This is just a ‘short’ list of why millions of people around the world love what Chiropractors do everyday – sourced from United Chiropractors Association Newsletter.

When they say ‘hands on’ care, they really mean it… Human to human contact is vitally  important to the healing process.  No cold stethoscopes here!  Just warm, healing hands and warm, loving hearts.

They’re ‘in tune’ with your problems… Ever have a good Chiropractor go right to the parts that bother you before you even mention it?   It’s like they’re the Harry Houdini’s of health care.  Their skills and abilities are remarkable!

‘DC’ stands for Doctor of Cause… Chiropractors don’t resort to using pills, potions or lotions to mask symptoms, but rather locate and remove the CAUSE of health problems in your spine and nerve system.

Some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet… If you want to be happy and healthy,  hang out with happy healthy people.  There’s an abundance of them in the typical Family, Chiropractic office.

It’s extremely cost effective… Talk about health care savings.  Studies show over and  over again how lost work time and lost wages can be reduced if injured patients seek Chiropractic first.

They give credit where credit is due… Chiropractors acknowledge that the only thing that can heal the body is the Power that re-creates it.  They address the subluxations, but something bigger than all of us, does the healing.

Chiropractic helps you get the most out of Life… Your Life and your Health flows so much better with a clear nervous system.  Better sleep, more energy, less pain… and too much more to mention here.  Millions today already enjoy the benefits of regular Chiropractic  care.  Have you joined them yet?

The purpose of the post is not to be a kill joy, rather, to illuminate some facts that perhaps have not been considered by those endeavouring to change their lifestyles, to recover their health.

Did you know that habitual consumption of alcohol (in high doses) seriously affects the central nervous system? It may affect such diverse body parts as bones, bloodstream, liver, stomach, pancreas, heart, peripheral tissues and the mouth and of course it is an actual depressant of the central nervous system.

A healthy functioning nervous system is vital to your good health – that is why your Chiropractor is so interested in your nervous system!.  Alcohol influences the nervous system by “dumbing” down the indicators between the spinal cord, spinal nerves and the brain.  Consumption of excess alcohol also predisposes people to heart attackes, brain strokes and dementia.   Alcohol behaves as a depressant on the central nervous system and can have a disastrous affect on the frontal lobes of the brain resulting in mineral and vitamin deficiences.

Does this leave any good reason to overindulge?  Life is about balance – remember next time when reaching for that extra glass of alcohol perhaps it should be a glass of water instead!

At Chiropractic Life we look at the whole person and consider all aspects of your health.  Eating Well, Moving Well and Thinking Well are all vital elements in helping you to regain loss of health. After years of abusing his body Chiropractic gave Dr Scott his life back – read his story here.

Dr Scott Garber

In 1992, after many years of abusing my body, my body finally gave up and my health started to spiral downward. By the time I met my Chiropractor Michael I was physically, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. I had all but given up on life and was in terrific pain. A friend prompted me to seek Chiropractic help, but I was stubborn because I thought people only went to Chiropractors for accidents. I was finally at wits end, unable to walk, work, or engage in any social activities. I found my way to my Chiropractors office and it was the start to finding my life, and my future career. After many months of intensive care I started to notice more then just my pain subsiding. I started to see people, colours, shapes, and life in a different way. My depression had lifted, I liked people and was no longer afraid of them, my breathing had changed, my digestion was better, my blood pressure, and cholesterol levels came back to normal, my sleeping improved, and I was no longer fatigued. I never in a million years would have thought that all of this would change under Chiropractic care, but it did. Chiropractic care gave me hope, potential, and my life back. I was so changed and inspired that I decided to become a Chiropractor. Against all odds, due to my Dyslexia, I graduated from Parker Chiropractic College in 2001 Magna Cum Laude. That is am amazing feat considering I dropped out of junior high due to my learning disability. So, if you have ever questioned “does Chiropractic work” you now have my true story – Dr Scott Garber

The Martin Clan (minus Matt!)

Chiropractic truly is a family affair!  Read the Martins story -

We first met Richard at The Ardingly Show about 9 years ago.. he invited us in to have a go on a pair of scales…. Andy had been suffering with recurrent headaches and myself at the time had a weak grip and pins and needles in my right arm…..We had both visited our GP but Richard was the only one that managed to sort out my pins and needles! in the first visit… I was well impressed as I had been suffering with this for about 18mths and Andy did not suffer from these debilitating headaches after a couple of visits. We have four children which we introduced to the world of Chiropractic care soon after our first experience… One of our children has dyslexia and we saw a significant improvement in him within a couple of visits, he seemed to grow and become more confident and has continued this into adulthood – he now works for himself and has great ambitions. As a family we are much healthier and visits to the GP are very rare and for the children non existant! We actively try and introduce people we can see suffering to the way of Chiropractic Life as we know the benefits we have gained over the last 9 years. We visit Richard on a regular basis as a whole family – coming all the way to Hove from Chichester and have even managed to persuade our Son in Law to attend… he is now a convert! Chiropractic care has been a significant part of our lives over the past 9 years and long may it continue, Chiropactic Life are extremely professional and have become great friends…and we all look forward to each session xx The Martin Clan xx

The Lighthouse Guides The Way

Over at the Atlas of Life Blog this morning Brandon Harshe records an interview with Dr. Arno Burnier – this is what he said was his most memorable moment:

“Of course I saw great outcome and many miracles like most Chiropractors in practice. Yet my most memorable experience came from a man nicknamed ‘Chick.’ He came in at noon on a Wednesday, without any appointment. He was in severe pain. There was no speaking to him as the pain was so intense that he was not available to listen. I adjusted his occiput and he broke down crying like a baby.

I later found out that my office was his last stop before committing suicide. He has passed my office countless times because we were on main street. He had seen the crowd in the waiting room and at the talks. He did not know anything about Chiropractic, had never gone to one. Something attracted him there as a last resort place to come to.

As it turned out he was a Vietnam Vet involved in the Mi Lai massacre. He could not live with himself any longer for having killed innocent babies, children and women.”

He still communicates with me regularly even though I left Yardley, PA 15 years ago to live in Colorado. Chiropractic saved his life.

Nerve interference could be causing your pain and distress too!
