Emily Arredondo IBCLC - Breastfeeding assistance for Tiffin/Carey area is one of the lactation consultants Dr. Amanda has worked with her professionally and personally (with Mr Issac). She is a great resource for any mom struggling to breastfeed!

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!
It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself. I’m Emily. IBCLC (lactation consultant), Registered Nurse, Mom, and Grammy!
I’ve worked in maternal child health since 1993, and have supported local breastfeeding parents as a lactation consultant since 2017.
My practice is at Mercy Tiffin Hospital, but I’m not limited to only their patients! I’m happy to help anyone regardless of where they delivered. And per the Mercy Mission, all lactation services are free of charge.
I’m passionate about helping families meet their feeding goals, whether it’s exclusively latching, exclusive pumping, or a combination of latching and bottles!
Being a grandma (Grammy!) has helped me see even more the importance of having a supportive team- I’d love to be on your team!
I can be reached by phone at (419)455-7006 or by email at Emily_Arredondo1@mercy.com

This last weekend Dr. Amanda attended a Pediatric Chiropractic seminar hosted by Dr. Claudia Arnig who wrote the text book on Pediatric Chiropractic! Dr. Amanda learned new ways to adjust the cranial bones (bones in the head) to help correct plagiocephaly/abnormal skull shape and chronic constipation! It was an amazing learning experience!

When we think of osteoporosis, it's often seen as a women's health issue. But here's a fact that might surprise you: one in four men over 50 will experience a bone fracture due to osteoporosis. This silent condition can significantly impact men's health as they age, often going unnoticed until a fracture occurs.

For men facing the risk of osteoporosis, chiropractic care can be a vital part of maintaining overall health and preventing fractures. Chiropractic adjustments optimize the body's function by ensuring proper spinal alignment. This alignment is crucial for several reasons.

Firstly, proper spinal alignment can enhance overall body balance and coordination. This improvement is key in reducing the risk of falls, which is especially important for those with weakened bones due to osteoporosis. A fall that might be harmless for someone with healthy bones can be detrimental for someone with osteoporosis.

Secondly, chiropractic care can aid in maintaining and improving joint mobility. As men age, joints can become stiffer and less flexible, increasing the risk of injury. Regular chiropractic adjustments help keep joints moving smoothly, essential for keeping the body agile and less prone to falls.

Lastly, while chiropractic care doesn't directly increase bone density, it aids in maintaining an active lifestyle, which is beneficial for bone health. Moving without pain or discomfort encourages regular physical activity, which is essential to bone strength and overall health.

Osteoporosis doesn't have to define your health as you age. Incorporating chiropractic care into your health regimen can be a proactive step toward maintaining your strength, mobility, and independence. Don't wait for symptoms to appear; take charge of your bone health today.
