Infant Re-flux and Chiropractic Pediatrics

Recently our office had a little girl (Ramsey), 8 weeks old, in because she had  reflux (in mom’s words “projectile vomiting”) after every feeding.Acid Reflux & Chiropractic Care

The Ramsey’s pediatrician had prescribed anti-reflux medication (Zantac) which seemed to have no effect. So “Mom” decided to try chiropractic care for Ramsey.

Upon going through the infant history on birth process, medications, and 8 weeks of history. We preformed an exam on her spinal function and motion. Little Ramsey handled the exam well. With mom’s permission, Dr. Trace adjusted 2 vertebra using an infant ICPA techniques, taught to him by Dr. Larry Webster. After adjusting her, we scheduled a return visit in 4 days.

Upon returning to the office, Mom reported that Ramsey had “No reflux” the next day and only 1 episode each of the following 2 days. Mom also commented this was the best weekend Ramsey had since she came home. Dr. Trace checked her again and adjusted once more. Ramsey was then scheduled in 3 days later.

On the third visit, Mom reported that Ramsey had not re-fluxed or vomited at all and she was doing great.

Chiropractic care is the focus on the relationships between the body’s spine, nervous system, interference of the nervous system – and the patient’s health. Chiropractors believe that health can be improved and preserved by making adjustments to the spine to relieve nervous system interference. They do not prescribe drugs or perform surgical procedures.

Health is a function of the body when the body is clear of the three stresses: chemical, emotional, & mechanical.

Note from Dr. Trace: “Caring for children is the greatest reward for a chiropractor, because  helping a child with asthma, crawling, reflux, bed wetting, etc., helps the child reach their maximum human potential. Maximum human potential should be the goal of every healthcare provider for their patients.”

Yours in Health,

“Chiropractic Safer and More Effective” – Says Medical Researchers

pril 2011 – Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine

Dr. Trace Palmer – Chiropractor in Richmond Hill, Ga, found this research article outlining the effectiveness and safety of chiropractic care.

New study by Medical Researchers shows Chiropractors are a safer form of maintenance care for your spine.

Maintenance care for spines has been the “backbone” mantra of the Chiropractic profession for decades.

To quote the Medical Researchers “After controlling for severity and demographics, no health maintenance care is generally as good as chiropractor care.” (Spinal Care)

A total of 894 cases followed 1-year using workers’ compensation claims data. Provider types were defined for the initial episode of disability and subsequent episode of health maintenance care.

Results showed that the Disability Reoccurrence (lower is better) for:

Chiropractic   1.00   (safest and most effective  —- Costs Less)

No Care 1.20 (20% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

MD’s 1.60 (60% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

PT’s 2.00 (100% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

Please make note that the “No Care / maybe it will go away” group had 20% more reoccurrences than the chiropractic maintenance group.

Conclusion:  Its about time that you looked at a safe and effective alternative to drugs and surgery, Chiropractors have been providing their patients with proven care for more than 116 years, since 1895.

Thank you and consider that over 85% of the population in the United States don’t visit a chiropractor regularly. But those 15% that do are extending the number of quality of years that they have by prevention through natural chiropractic care. Don’t put off your decision to seek out a chiropractor till it hurts, most of the time degeneration has already set in.

What is Health?

What is Health?

Is health the absents of symptoms? Then why do we call some diseases “the silent deadly killers”?

Health has more to do with taking care of what you have than trying to repair and replace what is broken. If you wait till your car breaks down on the freeway before you get it serviced, are you helping or hurting yourself? Or is it that you like huge car bills to replace motors and transmissions? Do you use the same logic with your teeth? How about your spine?

The spine is taken for granted. Very few people think about the spine and “how do I take better care of it”till it hurts. Sometimes pain is the last 10% of a degenerative process.

We are not a product of our injuries; we are a product of how we take care of our injuries. By age 10, the average child has had 200 significant falls.

Using pain as our meter for spinal maintenance is like looking for smoke out the tailpipe to get an oil change.

These accidents are the precursors to limitations later in life. In a perfect world, those injuries would have been addressed and corrected as near to 100% as possible. And the precursors may never have developed into spinal and joint decay. Now that we have reached middle age and have let the precursors mature into spinal and joint decay, working on restoring optimum potential for our spine and joints should be priority one with natural chiropractic care.

By aligning your spine with chiropractic care and correcting your lifestyle , you begin to move as close to 100 percent function and have your best chance of not only feeling better, and reaching and maintaining your optimum health potential. 

Yours in Health,

Dr. Trace Palmer
