Family Chiropractic

What Does Family Chiropractic Care Do?

Many people assume family chiropractic care is for making sure a painful neck goes back into place after a car accident or a lower back moves well enough to return to work after an injury. Nothing could be further from the truth. We treat those conditions, but we treat quite a few more.

Our family chiropractor focuses on holistic wellness. This means that your thoughts, actions, and environment all have critical roles in your health. Family chiropractic care is about much more than just an adjustment and hope for the best.

Dr. Foss takes a comprehensive and individualized approach to every issue you bring to his attention. He takes the time to listen and conscientiously applies science-based treatments to enhance your body’s own healing potential.

Subluxation is a term you’ll frequently hear in our office. Spinal subluxation is the medical term for spinal misalignment. This misalignment can happen when you fall, bend over to lift a heavy box or have a car accident. It can also happen to a mother and her newborn child during labor. If you can think of a way you can move, we can think of a possible subluxation.

Subluxations do more than make your back or neck sore. They cause widespread malfunction throughout the body. This is because a misaligned spine can put pressure on nerves that interfere with healthy nerve and brain function. As a result, the signals that govern your body and mind are incomplete, missing, or inappropriate for the situation.

Benefits of Family Chiropractic Care

When subluxations are corrected, and the nervous system can freely communicate, nerve function is enhanced. Every member of your family can have a body that performs at its best from the very beginning.

Pregnancy is a roller coaster ride of physical, mental, and emotional changes. Shifts in your pelvis, posture, and priorities can throw you off balance. Your body is working hard to provide a healthy womb environment for your preborn child.

Family chiropractic care can help relieve the achy back and legs that so many pregnant women experience. Our team can also help boost your body’s resources through a comprehensive nutrition, activity, and family chiropractic adjustment program.

Routine appointments with our family chiropractor can benefit your entire family after your baby is born. As a new parent, you might be stuck in a state of sleep-deprivation-fueled survival mode. If you have other children, caring for everyone might be even more challenging.

Your search for ‘family chiropractor near me’ led you to the best in the area. At Vital Wellness Center, we offer specific spinal and pelvic analysis and adjustments for your special needs. Our family chiropractor has experience coordinating care with pediatricians, therapists, and other specialists. Family chiropractic care can be a valuable part of your healthcare team to treat common infant conditions such as:

• Colic
• Ear aches
• Feeding issues

If you have other children or as your baby grows, they can continue to enjoy the benefits of a comprehensive approach to wellness. Complete care from a family chiropractor can help ensure your child is ready to learn whether they’re in school or on the athletic field.

Teens and young adults frequently spend hours on smartphones and can quickly develop poor posture. Carrying increasingly heavy backpacks is another burden our teenager’s spines must bear. If your teenager is fortunate enough to play school sports, they can reap even more benefit from the activity when spinal subluxations are quickly treated.

You can also treat allergies, asthma, and behavioral health concerns through family chiropractic care. Vital Wellness Center takes a holistic approach to these systemic conditions and relies on parents to encourage prescribed exercise, dietary, and other lifestyle changes. This communicates that health is a family priority and teaches your child to take responsibility for their own health.

It is never too early or too late to take charge of your health. Our family chiropractor sees quite a few senior citizens at Vital Wellness Center. If you’re a senior citizen, Dr. Foss would be glad to help relieve your pain, increase your range of motion, and enhance your coordination.

Family chiropractic adjustments can help you live better with chronic health conditions. A 2019 research study demonstrated that Family chiropractic adjustment could help lower diastolic blood pressure. The diastolic blood pressure is the lower number of your blood pressure and measures the pressure inside your arteries when your heart is in the relaxation stage of pumping blood.
