Chiropractic Care for the Family

We believe that a well-adjusted mum = a well-adjusted child. We all already know that self-care is important. People typically use the analogy of putting on your own oxygen mask first before helping others on the airplane. Despite the example being on a more extreme side, it still rings true – it’s hard to take care of others if you’re not first taken care of.

On that tangent, we often get pediatric patients brought in by concerned parents – only to later realise that sometimes the baby can’t get quality care because their parents aren’t getting the same! It’s hard to understand your baby’s patterns and habits when you’re so tired that you can’t tell left from right.

Postpartum mums who get adjusted benefit from:

  • Reduced frequency and/or intensity of back aches (from recovering after birth on top of carrying your baby for breastfeeding and other care!)
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Reduced risk of postpartum complications such as Diastasis Recti, prolonged core weakness, De Quervain’s (a.k.a. mummy’s thumb)
  • Improved pelvic alignment

We also get situations on the opposite spectrum – postpartum mums who come in with constant aches and pains that cannot go away despite the best care (even despite getting care during their prenatal period!). And we typically find out later on that they can’t be at their 100% when their child is dysregulated and not feeling their best.

Kids who get checked and adjusted at an earlier age benefit from:

  • Post-birth recovery (that might cause issues with skull deformities or cranial strain – you can read more about that here)
  • Improved nervous system function and immunity 
  • Improved digestion, reduced colic
  • Better sleep 
  • Clearing any lingering issues pre and post lip-ties or tongue-ties

We realised that the best way to maintain good health for the whole family is to make sure that everyone is well-adjusted, well-fed, and active! Striving to be healthy can be as equally as infectious as a common cold. In a family unit, everybody works together and affects one another. In prenatal cases, this starts with Chiropractic care before/during pregnancy, and extends to taking care of the family well after. We also encourage it because mums and dads lead by example. When your child sees you comfortable and happy with getting adjusted by the Chiropractor, they would want to mimic the same!

We love seeing whole families come in together. If you’re interested to come in to get adjusted alongside your little one, we have many family sharing package options available for you! Drop us a message at +6011-62626038 (Welo Chiro PJ) or +6010-5526038 (Welo Chiro KL) to know more.
