Treating Babies with Colic

ColicBaby

Mothers know how helplessly frustrating a colicky baby can be: The relentless crying that can’t seem to be remedied. Babies have brand new gastrointestinal systems, and with that come new difficult tasks for the new body. Babies with colic are often suffering from Infant Acid Reflux, painful gas and indigestion, constipation, or food sensitivities. While symptoms can be difficult to peg, babies with colic tend to have abrupt episodes of crying or wailing lasting more than 3 hours at a time, multiple times a week for several weeks.

With colicky babies, irritated nerves cause disturbances to the intestines, stomach, and other gastrointestinal organs leading to a build up of gas in the intestines. Chiropractic adjustments help restore communication and function of those nerves while eliminating pain from irritated nerves.

I specialize in using Light Force Technique adjustments and Activator Method to relieve colic in infants. If you think your baby is suffering from colic, call our clinic in Tustin @ 714 730 2225 to see how we can help.

Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Injuries

Fighting Extremity Injuries Through Chiropractic

Many people face chronic pain from unresolved shoulder, arm, and hand injuries like bursitis, neuritis, neuralgia, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel, and fibrositis. These injuries can cause long term, recurring pain because the area of injury is weakened.

How do you know something is wrong? When you get pain sensors forcing your attention to the body part in question, the brain is communicating via billions of nerves that extend from the brain through the entire body, branching off to our different organs, muscles, tissues.

In the case of shoulder, arm, or hand pain, it is commonly a brachial plexus injury. The brachial plexus is an intricate network of nerves in the back and neck which can become irritated or inflamed due to trauma, injury, or misalignment of the spine. Injury to the brachial plexus nerves can result in muscle weakness, shoulder or neck stiffness, pain (radiating or pinpointed), numbness, or “pins and needles” nerve sensations. Severe injuries to this region can also result in dizziness, headaches, and limited mobility.

A technique called muscle stripping can be coupled with chiropractic adjustments at our office to effectively treat these injuries and prevent symptoms from returning.

Chiropractic adjustments have been well-documented in correcting shoulder, arm, and hand injuries, but waiting until the need for correction is never the best choice. It is always important to take precautions to prevent injuries from occurring. You can keep your body strong and more resilient to trauma by strengthening weak muscles with exercise, fueling your body with the nutrients it needs to heal itself, and getting regular adjustments to prevent damage to the spine and nervous system.

Is it Really Possible to Balance Hormones Naturally?

Natural Hormone Balancing in Women

Did you know that PMS, blood sugar levels and estrogen dominance all have similar symptoms? Estrogen dominance is when the body has excess estrogen and is unopposed or not balanced by progesterone. This syndrome occurs due to specific situations, such as hormone replacement therapy, exposure to xenoestrogens, birth control pills, and hysterectomies.  Xenoestrogens are found in skin care, food, insecticides, and building supplies.

According to Dr. John Lee , M.D. he feels that, “estrogen dominance is a huge factor in conditions such as, uterine fibroids, breast/uterine cancer, premenopausal bone loss, PMS and Fibrocystic breasts.”

Here is a list of symptoms that can be caused or made worse by estrogen dominance:

Headaches, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, infertility, allergies, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, and PMS

Diet plays a role in estrogen dominance. Looking closely at what foods are being eaten and the quantity is very important for the balancing of a women’s  hormones.

Breakthrough Technology Relieves Common and Sometimes Untreatable Recurring Pain Caused by Scar Tissue

One of the many therapies offered at Voitenko Wellness is Rapid Release Technology. You may have never heard of this therapy before, or maybe you have and are wondering what it is. Rapid Release Technology (RRT) is a new, innovative technology that relieves the pain caused by soft tissue scar adhesions. It is perfect for people suffering from:

  • Sciatica
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries
  • Sprain/Strains of the shoulder, hip, knees, ankles
  • Nerve Entrapment
  • Arthritis
  • Limited Range of Motion
  • Muscle Spasms
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Tendonitis
  • Tennis Elbow

Scar tissue forms in the body as a temporary patching mechanism for wounds caused by surgery, trauma and/or repetitive stress. This scar tissue can connect tissues that are not normally connected and these connections are called adhesions. Adhesions can entrap nerves, cause pain or numbness and limit ones range of motion. RRT uses vibratory therapy that targets these adhesions and breaks up the scar tissue that relieving pain in a quick, safe, comfortable, affordable and non-pharmaceutical method.

Are you suffering from pain? Do you want to treat the underlying cause of the pain rather than mask it with medications?
