Pediatric Chiropractic

Many parents shy away from treatment for their children due to fear and misunderstanding about the purpose and benefits of pediatric adjustment. As a fully trained pediatric chiropractor, Dr. Cheris understands the physical and neurological changes from year to year, and will modulate the treatment plan for the individual child. The ultimate goal for every patient, regardless of age, is to allow their nervous systems to manage their body’s changes as they grow. 

Often children arrive at chiropractic care due to ADHD, anger issues, digestive problems, night terrors, scoliosis and posture, colic, head shape, ear infections, headaches, bed wetting, school anxiety, just to name a few. All of these symptoms are expressions of dysregulation, not typical childhood development. For example, newborn to three month olds are figuring out how to breathe, release gas, swallow, sleep, understand whether their temperature is regulated, whether they are hungry or tired. This is the foundation for not only future posture, but also emotional regulation, so that we do not arrive at depression or anxiety as adults. We help the nervous system understand, “I am safe, I am enough, I belong in this world,” just in the first three months of life.

The first thousand days of life, from conception to two years old, are vital to thriving as a fully formed adult. For more information on the other specific stages of development, and how they can be improved through Vibrant Life’s approach to pediatric care, visit our blog. 

Prenatal Chiropractic

At Vibrant Life, we seek to optimize your experience as you move through the changes of pregnancy, including: low back pain, hip and groin pain, round ligament pain, lightning crotch, breathing, as well as your recovery afterwards. Postpartum recovery can be less complicated with the help of adjustments after birth. 

Women’s health is a passion of mine, because it has long been neglected. I strive to support women on their wellness journey, creating an environment where moms, babies and children can heal. There is a specific emotional burden that comes with being a woman in a world designed for men. Our office creates a space for women to relax, find peace and heal. Giving tools that are simple to implement, as well as resources for hormones, improving cycles, and overall women’s health. 

Additional benefits: when mom’s biomechanics become ideal it can improve the baby’s positioning, ease of labor, and lead to less medical intervention during birth. This also sets your infant up for more success because they experience less stress and trauma while pregnant and during the birthing process. After birth, your body needs help recovering from the change in your center of gravity. Additionally, we assist with breast feeding and the mechanics of holding your baby, as well as diaphragm and ribcage recovery from the stress of the birthing process. 

General Chiropractic

Traditional chiropractic looks at a specific problem such as a bone out of place pinching a nerve. At Vibrant Life, we look at your body through the framework of biogeometric integration, and the stressors of daily life (emotional, chemical, physical) that we are unable to process when they occur. We store these stressors, creating visible distortions in our posture, how we move, and even how we are able to be present in our relationships. Some of these stressors start as early as conception, in utero, when figuring out how to breathe, digest, and dispense waste. These stored stressors are what create the breakdown as we age.

Vibrant Life seeks to impact those stressors and move you toward a healthier state of being. We work to help your body process past traumas so that you can be prepared for the ongoing stressors of life, and to be more comfortable in your body on a day to day basis.
