The Birth of My First Son

Let me tell you a story about my son's birth.

Most babies are born with hands on their heads, and that's concerning because it leads to an injury caused by the birth that's going to impact the neck, impact the muscles, but most importantly, impact the nervous system.

Our son was our first child and my wife and I, highly value natural birth.

And so we decided to go with home birth, a water birth, and we did this because we knew we could get what we wanted for our birth process, for our child, and the growing of our family.

And even though during those appointments with our midwife prior that we had and I set my expectations that we're not going to pull the baby out unless medically necessary, even during our birth process, our midwife put her hands on my son's head to assist him out of the birth canal.

And so I know this happens with other birth providers, with other doctors, other midwives, and hospitals, and it happens to most babies because I'm a pediatric chiropractor here in Chicago with Roots Family Chiropractic.

And I understand that birth is super important when it comes to a child's health, and if the problem doesn't get taken care of, it can lead to colic, digestive issues, including reflux, constipation, sleep issues, and so through chiropractic adjustments, we're able to help this spine and nervous system regulate and recover so that we can have a happy and healthy baby moving forward.

And so if any of this sounds interesting, please reach out to me!

I'd be happy to help.
