This is a review that Sleigh Family Chiropractic received online:

“Dr. Katie and Dr. Quint are extremely knowledgable. I have been to several chiropractors in my life, and I can promise that you would be hard pressed to find someone as good as they are. They not only provide chiropractic adjustments, but they also educate on best practices for overall health. They truly care about the patient and their family. My 2 year old daughter loves getting her adjustments (for allergies as well as everyday bumps and falls) and even pretends to be "Dr. Katie". I see Dr. Katie for pregnancy related symptoms and she is so helpful. I highly recommend them both!”

Ear infections are common in many children and can be extremely painful for many children.  Antibiotics are the conventional treatment for ear infections.  However, research now shows antibiotic treatment is often times no more effective than the child’s own immune system.  Gentle pediatric chiropractic adjustments may help many, many kids get relief from ear infections without the use of medications or surgery.  Since no parent wants to see their child suffer, we suggest you check out this video clip with a parental testimonial.

Here is the full transcript of our new YouTube video demonstrating an exercise to help pregnant women prevent and avoid breech positioning of their babies.

In preparation for birth, the baby should turn to the vertex or head down position a few weeks prior to delivery.  If the baby remains in the head up position, it is termed breech.  Breech positioning may increase the risks of complications during delivery.  There are also abnormal stressors on the baby’s body while in the uterus when the baby is not in the vertex position after then.  There are many options, both invasive and non-invasive, available for moms to help achieve the head down position for her baby. 

HAVE YOU FAILED TO GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT WITH OTHER WEIGHT LOSS AND DIET PROGRAMS?

As wellness chiropractors, Drs. Quintin and Katie Sleigh focus on creating a healthy lifestyle.  In addition to chiropractic care, they offer nutritional consulting and a very successful weight loss program to help their patients achieve their health goals.  They know that being overweight leads to many health problems and also puts a lot of extra stress on the joints of the entire body including the spine and pelvis.  This commonly leads to back and joint pain.

The best way to keep your mind and body able to deal with the stress and tension of the holidays is to take care of yourself.  By being proactive and making healthy choices, your body will be able to withstand the unavoidable stress of the holidays.  When we don’t take care of ourselves, stress will affect us more.  High levels of stress can lead to tension, a weakened immune system and illness.  While stress may not be avoidable during the holidays, taking care of yourself will decrease the likelihood that you will experience negative stress symptoms.

The shopping is finally all done and now it’s time to get the gifts wrapped.  This can be a very time consuming project that can lead to back and neck pain.  By the time everything has been wrapped, a couple hours have passed.  And when we try to get up, what often times happens? We feel pain and stiffness in the neck and back.  However, this neck and back pain can be avoided by following some easy tips and suggestions.  And if you are experiencing back and neck pain, don’t let it ruin your holidays!  Visit your chiropractor who can alleviate the pain naturally.
