* The following are personal accounts of an individual's experience. We, at the Lisburn and Bangor Chiropractic Clinic , make no claims to helping every person with every problem. At all times we focus on treating conditions relating to the Musculoskeletal system which in turn may have a positive effect on the Nervous System.
* Dr Nicolas Maurice BSc, M.Chiro and Dr Wayne Elphinstone BSc, M.Tech are Doctors of Chiropractic. They are not Medical Practitioners nor do they claim to be so. The use of the title 'Dr' in any of these notices refers to Doctor of Chiropractic.
Kids can benefits from chiropractic too! There is nowadays a greater emphasis towards changing our approach to better health care delivery. One of the main shifts is away from crisis care and toward prevention and maintenance care.
The best people to get started with wellness care are kids. Children go through so many changes as they grow. All of the major systems go through countless developmental stages. The nervous system is the first to develop and controls all the others. It is therefore very important to have as little interference as possible with the nervous system in the growing child. Our experience at Lisburn and Bangor Chiropractic Clinic is that the children that receive regular Chiropractic care are far more active and seem to show excellent concentration at school. Check out Fergus' story. Children and babies, much like adults can develop musculoskeletal problems which may present as discomfort or pain. By having regular check-ups, especially if there has been a history of trauma or falls or even sports injuries.
Chiropractic is effective, safe and drug-free.Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine.It emphasizes manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft tissue maniupulation, and includes exercises, health and lifestyle counseling.
A Chiropractor's job is to understand the role of the musculoskeletal system and its effect on the nervous system. Occasionally, if trauma occurs, through falls, injuries or even following a difficult birthing process, a vertebral subluxation, also called a misalignment of the spine or Spinal Dysfunction can occur. Subluxations or Spinal dysfunctions may occur very early in life and can affect the way the spinal nerves function but also the very delicate joints of the musculoskeletal system, especially the Spine.
Treatment in our clinics for babies or children, like Kit and Anna, is very gentle and specific. Our aim is to reduce the level of restrictions or interference to the cranium, spine and any other joints of the body that may not be functioning optimally.Dr Nicolas Maurice has a special interest in Chiropractic pediatrics and regularly attends conferences and courses to keep up to date. He is well experienced in the field and has treated children and infants of all ages, just like Andrew and Fergus. Most of the time, parents comment that he is having more fun than the kids running around the practice.
With regards to treating babies, we feel that it is so important to make both baby and parents feel relaxed and at ease whilst in our practice. We offer plenty of support and as much as possible and within our scope of practice, good advice. We work along side of a number of midwives, pre-natal educators, doctors and health visitors to best assist newly born and new parents in a complimentary way so that the whole family can benefit from our care. We encourage new mums to bring themselves and/or their newborns in for a check up following the delivery and allow plenty. Much like adults, the focus in Chiropractic is to treat the body naturally and to stimulate a healing response. Check out Shania's story for instance. The Chiropractic adjustment is geared towards making the Nervous System work better. Though Chiropractic care is not a cure for any disease it does help the body function more efficiently and promotes better health by reducing interference to the Nervous system. It also makes sense that a better functioning nervous system makes for a better functioning body as a whole.
Your children deserve to have their full potential utilized as they grow. Chiropractic care can be a very important part of your children's health care. Please make an appointment to have your child's spine checked by a chiropractor on a regular basis. Dr. Maurice has helped numerous children and infants as young as 4 days old. Check out Olivia's story.
