The more blood test reviews I do the more I’m gobsmacked at the level of adequacy being accepted by doctors. 🤯🤬

I want my patients to be feeling truly healthy and energetic and painfree and with optimal levels, not just scraping the barrel of “ah sure you’re grand!!”.

The accepted range is set so broad and even if your reading is just a couple of digits away from deficiency or excessive levels the patient is often not told.

If you are a patient of mine I offer complimentary review of all blood test results of those readings pertaining to pain, inflammation and energy and I’ll highlight those out of range, what optimal actually is and recommendations for change.

This is about us feeling truly well and healthy.

I love an analogy 🌊🪣🌊🪣

This is an analogy I often say in clinic.

Almost every health issue can be reduced to inflammation. So depending on the health issue will depend what multidisciplinary approach you’ll need but trust me it will have to be multidisciplinary and will involve you having to put the work in.

The last two years have been an interesting journey of experiencing and recovering from extreme pain.

Instead of just numbing it, I used a multifaceted approach combining modern and alternative therapies as well as supplements.

I thought I would have to resort to injections and HRT but then I got better.

When you’re in pain, you have to work hard to work out why and how to get better. It’s not always easy but just numbing it won’t make it better. You have to put the work in and not expect someone or something else to fix it.

This week I’m looking forward to talking at a prenatal yoga class to help those mums understand the benefits of prenatal chiropractic care to support their yoga practice.

Do you host classes or events for pre or postnatal mums? Are some of your clients unable to keep up their yoga or Pilates or strength training due to musculoskeletal pain that could be helped with chiropractic care?

If you’d like me to chat to your mums then pop me an email ros@drakechiropractic.ie and let’s get something in the diary.

“Love your spine this February “ was the theme of this months newsletter I sent to my patients.

Your spine houses and protects your central nervous system and connects with your autonomic nervous system. When your spine isn’t working optimally neither are you.

Don’t wait until you’re crippled with back pain. Be proactive and come in now and keep up your maintenance as you would your car.

I wish I did see more mums in the first trimester and got to see them through their whole pregnancy. From pre-conception would be even better. ☺️

Wow! The second busiest month for pregnancy new patients ☺️

A good number were for breech and many of those third time mums which is expected. While breech is a variant of normal, breech birth is not supported in Ireland especially for first time mums, VBAC’s and home births and therefore mums will try to turn the baby.

The Breech Tilt.

I was demonstrating this at my recent Prenatal Chiropractic for Birth professionals workshop.

I show this to most of the Breech presentation patients that come to me for chiropractic care as an alternative or an addition to the forward leaning inversion or using the ironing board as suggested by Spinning Babies. I personally don’t like the sound of climbing on top of an angled ironing board while pregnant so I think the Breech Tilt may be a little safer and more stable.

You get the cushions from the sofas/chairs and put under the bottom so you are fully supported in the inverted position so the psoas muscles are not contracting. While there to complete what I refer to as my ‘Breech Protocol’, you can also use hot, cold, music, light, visualisation, hypnotherapy and even Moxa. After the 20 minutes of sustaining this position I the suggest using the essential oils of peppermint for cooling and myrrh for warming and either going about your day or going to bed.

I suggest doing the Breech Protocol at least 1 x / day and the morning of having an ECV procedure.

You can find the exact details of the individual techniques on the breech document in my bio and choose which of them you want to include.

Breech now makes up 25% of my prenatal demographic. The Breech Tilt may not be suitable for everyone especially if the mum is experiencing pain with pelvic girdle pain.

But I do find that the Breech Protocol helps mums feel proactive without the techniques taking up too much time and the process being overwhelming.

This weeks prenatal chiropractic workshop for birthworkers was so much fun to do. An informative and practical demonstration on the why, when and how chiropractic care can be so beneficial for expectant mums. I also covered how I specifically work as every practitioner works a little differently.

It was a pleasure to have others in their field of expertise in the room too .ie

Think I will be in this back as a regular learning and networking experience.

Let me know if you’d like to come to my next one.

Yesterday I had the gorgeous pleasure of getting to snuggle a 3 week old baby as mama came in for her first postnatal appointment 🥰🥰

The mum had had a fully physiological birth and had received care until 37 weeks so she was feeling tight in the neck and mid back but her pelvis was actually doing well.

As I say in the graphics, care can begin postnatally as soon as you are able. Quite a number of my mums travel an hour or more each way to receive care during pregnancy that when it coms to travelling with baby makes it more tricky so I don’t see as many of those mums in the early postnatal as I’d like but that’s the reality. But when I do get to see them it’s great.

It’s been an amazing success for week for breech presentations 🥹☺️

The word “magic” gets used twice 🥹🥹

I would usually recommend starting treatment by 32 weeks or before so reduce the likelihood of a breech presentation and I would usually manage expectations by saying it may require 3-4 treatments before baby turns (these babies decided one was enough!!)
