Chiropractic is safe, effective and beneficial to the health of babies and children. Newborns commonly experience constipation or colic. Both of these problems may be a result of pressure on the spinal column during the birthing process.Our Affinity Chiropractors are specially trained to give your baby gentle, yet corrective spinal adjustments.

A simple, chiropractic procedure could correct spinal misalignments and give your baby relief and a good night’s sleep for the whole family! No child is too young to benefit from chiropractic care. A healthy spine is important at every age, and deserves special care during the growth and developmental stages. Bring your baby in for a chiropractic evaluation. A happy baby is a well-adjusted, healthy baby! 

Chiropractic relieves neck pain better than exercise or medication. 272 patients with recent-onset neck pain participated in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.  Participants were treated with medication, exercise or chiropractic.

After 12 weeks, the patients who received chiropractic or exercised were more than twice as likely to be pain free compared to those who received medicine. The patients treated by a chiropractor experienced the highest rate of success with 32 percent saying they were pain free, compared to 30 percent of those who exercised. Only 13 percent of patients treated with medication said they were no longer in pain. Chiropractic is safe, effective, and works naturally, without harmful side effects!

The most common type of car accident is a rear end collision, where a moving car crashes into a slower moving or stationary car in front of it. One of the possible results of this sort of crash is the most common type of auto injury we see in our Orlando chiropractic office, whiplash. Whiplash, which is also known as acceleration flexion-extension neck injury, occurs when your head is thrown forward and backward during a car accident.

In a car accident, there are actually two collisions: the first occurs when the car behind you crashes into you. The second occurs when, driven forward by the impact, you are forced up against your seat belt. Your head is thrown forward and back while your body is restrained by the safety device. This double impact causes your neck to rock violently forward and back, and can damage the soft tissue between vertebrae.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Symptoms of this sort of injury include neck pain, stiffness, a decreased range of movement or difficulty moving your neck, swelling, headaches and muscle spasms. Symptoms like neck pain can be felt immediately or may not show up until a few days after your accident. Some people will experience several symptoms, while others will have just a few. In addition to relieving immediate symptoms, chiropractic treatments will help reduce long term negative effects. Gentle adjustments help relieve pain and pressure. If you are experiencing stiffness and difficulty moving they can also help restore mobility. At Affinity Health & Wellness Center, we examine your entire spine to find the areas that are affected by the accident and provide appropriate treatment.

If you have been in an auto accident, it is important to seek treatment from our Orlando practice right away. We can provide treatment that will speed healing and help reduce the chance of long term damage.

Have you ever been involved in an injury accident?

Say yes to sexual health. Staying sexually active with your spouse not only enhances your relationship, but is beneficial to your health.  8 ways sex has been reported to promote health: reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, burns calories, pain reliever, reduces likelihood of insomnia, bolsters the immune system, and slashes risk of stroke and heart attacks. Optimal sexual function requires optimal functioning of the nervous system.

Sexual dysfunction may be the result of decreased nerve flow in the lower back, lumbar vertebrae.  Regular chiropractic adjustments remove pressure off the pinched or compromised nerve to keep signals properly circulating from your brain, over the nerves, to your sex organs.

The ability to generate creative, innovative ideas not only keeps life interesting, but helps us reach solutions for the challenges we face.  In a study reported in the Chiropractic Journal of Australia, research participants were given a creative abilities test. The participants were then examined for subluxation (spinal misalignment) and given a corrective, chiropractic adjustment.

Afterwards, the participants took a second creative thinking test. 60% of those tested showed a substantial post-adjustment improvement in their test results.  The study participants were interviewed days after the chiropractic adjustment.  70% of the participants stated they had personally taken a new direction in a creative endeavor, while 60% reported renewed vigor toward an existing creative endeavor. In addition, none of the participants expressed a decrease in creative thinking or less energy since the adjustment, two to eight days prior to the follow-up interview.
