ONE Direction



ONE Direction- Ha this isn't a news letter about a boy band.
It is about your life!
Which direction are you moving in?
In the office one of the ways that I approach your care is through the magic lens of THE FOUR SACRED SEASONS  Discover, Transform, Awaken and Integrate.
Today I want to stimulate your mindbody with a nugget about Discover and Transform.  One hallmark of these two Seasons is the direction that they move in.  When you are in the season of discover you look to the past to reference. For example, you come to the office with an achy, tight right shoulder. After you get entrained you move your shoulder around and comment "Grrrrrreat!!! WHOO HOOO!! all last year I couldn't move my shoulder at all and now it is moving".  Do you see the direction?  When you are in the sacred season of discover your reference point, to see where you are today, is the past. This is a necessary place to be to gather data.  However, once you have enough reference points from past suffering, once you become conscious of these suffering patterns, they become unbearable and you are ready to TAKE ACTION! This is what level one of care is designed to do, gather all this data for you.
When you are in transform the direction is FORWARD.  Your new reference point is your compelling future.  You decide that you want to be healthy and wealthy.  You begin to take action towards these goals.  How does the version of me that is healthy and wealthy behave?  She/He begins to workout each morning and enrolls in a wealth management course.  Action steps toward her/his goals!

If you are saying you want to become healthy and wealthy, but you are also saying that you are out of shape and suck with money; Then you now know that there is a disconnect and something is misaligned.  You can now have a framework for this common situation.  You are in the season of discover! Celebrate


that you are now aware of that. You have discovered something about yourself. Keep getting to know yourself, keep discovering and you will gather the fuel for Transform. That is what the entrainments in this office help you to do. Find and harness the fuel you need to create the life you deserve.
Discover is moving backwards and looking to the past.
Transform is moving forward and creating a compelling future

Which direction is your life going in?

I am excited to support you, love you and nourish you through all the seasons.  I will see you on the tables.

Be Well
Dr Suzanne

Breastfeeding Difficulties and Chiropractic



Breastfeeding Difficulties and Chiropractic


Modern birthing procedures, even those with seemingly minimal intervention, are known to cause
trauma and stress to the infant’s cranium and spine. In a leading pediatric textbook on manual therapy
for children, one author tells us, “When considering injuries and dysfunctions of the spine and its
associated structures, the significance of birth trauma is often underestimated, and the resulting
symptoms frequently misinterpreted.”



In the case of breastfeeding difficulty, as with many childhood disorders, the cause of the problem often 
traces back to undetected bio-mechanical injuries to the spine and cranium at birth. The failure to 
recognize these bio-mechanical injuries and their relationship to difficulty in breastfeeding leads to 
incorrect conclusions and therefore, inadequate recommendations and treatments. Without real 
solutions, mothers become discouraged, successful breastfeeding is not achieved, and women stop 
trying out of frustration. 


Breastfeeding is by far the best choice for infant feeding for numerous reasons. Significant research 
shows that, from a nutritional, immunological, digestive, neurological, developmental, mental, 
psychological, and emotional standpoint, there is no replacement. Today, more and more women are 
choosing the healthy, natural benefits of breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding is the 
optimal feeding mode for an infant’s first 6 months of life. Many women initially plan to breastfeed for



that length of time, yet fall short because of difficulties that seem to have no solution. Many of 
the care-providers they consult are unaware of the bio-mechanical disorders in the infant’s spines and 
craniums that cause the difficulty in breastfeeding. This lack of knowledge leads to ineffective 
recommendations with unsatisfactory results. In these instances, it is imperative that parents seek 
family chiropractors who offer mothers and infants the care appropriate to their needs.


In 24 years of practice, it has been my experience that when infants presented in our office with any of 
the indicated difficulties (see below), once evaluated and adjusted accordingly, they 
responded favorably with chiropractic care. Normal function in the infant was restored and 
breastfeeding continued without further complications and hindrances. Among other 
numerous benefits of chiropractic care for infants, the ability to successfully breastfeed has lifelong 
consequences for the baby’s future health potential. Including chiropractic care for your newborn may 
very well be one of the most important choices you make in support of the family wellness lifestyle. 


Some of the most common indicators of difficulty with breastfeeding are: 
 Babies who cannot latch firmly 
 Babies who can latch and not sustain sucking 
 Babies who are unable to smoothly coordinate 
suckling, swallowing, and breathing 
 Babies who can feed in only one position 
 Babies who seem dissatisfied when nursing or 
who remain fussy and distressed throughout 
the day 
 Babies who chew and damage the mother’s 
nipples 
 Babies who may not feed any better from other 
devices 
 Babies who have the need to suck 24/7

Normal, Healthy Childbirth for Women & Families



 Normal, Healthy Childbirth for Women & Families:

What You Need to Know











A woman’s guide to understanding normal, healthy birth and how it can improve the health of her baby and her health. Critical information to help women make informed decisions and avoid possibly unnecessary and expensive medical interventions, such as cesarean sections.




CHILDBIRTH TODAY

Since 1996, the World Health Organization has called for eliminating unnecessary intervention in childbirth. Yet in the US, birth interventions have reached epidemic proportions. Sadly, there is a lack of resources available to women to help them achieve their goals of a normal, safe, and healthy birth.

The norm for birth in the US today includes the use of technology and interventions that are not proven to benefit healthy women and babies during childbirth.

More than half of women receive medication to start or speed up their labors. This requires additional monitoring and interventions to treat possible

side effects, and can result in increased use of pain medication including epidurals.

One-third of US women deliver by cesarean section, a major abdominal surgery that has the potential for serious short- and long-term health consequences for both you and your baby.1

Often, vaginal birth is not an option for women who have already had a cesarean section.

If a woman receives care that she feels is traumatic or disrespectful, it affects her physical and emotional health, and interrupts the critical early bonding period with her baby.

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL, HEALTHY CHILDBIRTH

Normal, healthy birth is a safe process that includes labor, birth, and the first hour after birth for both the mom and her baby. It does not routinely require medical intervention.

Characteristics of normal labor, birth and the first hour after birth include:

◆◆Labor starts and progresses on its own.

u   The process is supported by physical and psychological factors that promote effective labor.

u   Labor results in a vaginal birth with normal blood loss.

u   The mother and her baby stay together after birth, with the baby remaining directly on her skin.

u   Breastfeeding begins right away.


YOUR BABY & YOUR BODY DURING A NORMAL, HEALTHY BIRTH

During normal, healthy birth, your body releases hor-mones that help you labor effectively, cope with pain, and bond with your baby. These hormones also help your baby transition to life outside of the womb, main-tain a normal body temperature, breastfeed successfully, and bond more effectively.

When labor progresses naturally on its own, there is less chance that your baby will have difficulties during labor or that you will need a vacuum, forceps, or a cesarean birth.


A normal, healthy labor and birth occur as a result of the mother and baby’s natural abilities. This type of birth is more likely to be safe and healthy because the process occurs without unnecessary interventions.

Some women and babies have complications that require interventions to have a safe and healthy outcome. Supporting normal, healthy labor and birth continues to benefit these women and their babies as well.


DISRUPTIONS TO NORMAL, HEALTHY BIRTH

Many things can disrupt the normal process of birth. Some examples to watch for:

◆◆  Medications to induce or speed up labor.

◆◆  Any environment that isn’t private or comfortable, or where people aren’t present to offer continuous support as desired.
◆◆  Time limits on the progress of labor.

◆◆  Restrictions on food and drink.

◆◆  Pain medications, epidurals, or anesthesia.

◆◆  Episiotomy.

◆◆  Cesarean, vacuum or forceps delivery.

◆◆  Early cutting of the umbilical cord before it has stopped pulsating.



◆◆  Separation of you and your baby after birth.

◆◆  Any situation where you feel threatened or unsupported.








NORMAL BIRTH AND YOU | PAGE 2





























BENEFITS OF A NORMAL, HEALTHY BIRTH

A normal, healthy birth provides many important benefits to your baby and you, such as:

◆◆  Achieving better overall health for your baby.

◆◆  Enabling your baby to successfully adapt to life outside the womb.



◆◆  Feeling physically and emotionally well and confident as mothers.



◆◆  Being better able to respond to your baby’s needs.



In addition to both of you, your family and society also benefit from a normal, healthy birth. As more women experience normal labor and birth, the view of birth will change to one of wellness, rather than illness. It also helps to
ensure that a woman and her healthcare provider act as partners, sharing decision making and responsibility.

HAVING A NORMAL, HEALTHY BIRTH

Many things can influence your ability to have a normal, healthy birth without intervention. These include:

◆◆  Your overall good health and physical fitness.

◆◆  Your knowledge and confidence about birth

(including cultural beliefs and practices and what you’ve been taught about birth).

◆◆  Having the chance to make informed decisions about your birth with your healthcare provider.
◆◆  Having access to a healthcare system, healthcare provider, and setting that supports you and helps meet your goal.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT
HEALTHCARE PROVIDER

Your healthcare provider, including midwives, can increase your confidence and address your concerns about giving birth. She or he should:

◆◆  Be committed to helping you learn about the birth process, while providing you with information so that you can make the best decisions for you and your baby.
◆◆  Allow you enough time to make decisions without feeling pressured.



◆◆  Know how to help you cope with pain in labor without using medications, and should assure your comfort, dignity and privacy.
◆◆  Respect your cultural beliefs and preferences.

◆◆  Have the education, knowledge, skills, and confidence to help you achieve your goals.


NORMAL BIRTH AND YOU | PAGE 3


































CHOOSING THE RIGHT BIRTH SETTING

The location that you choose for birth should have policies in place to support normal, healthy birth. These policies should allow you to:

◆◆  Go into labor spontaneously and not allow induc-tion of labor or the use of Pitocin to speed up your labor, without a compelling medical reason.
◆◆  Eat and drink during labor, if you want to.

◆◆  Move around freely in labor.

◆◆  Give birth in whatever position you feel comfortable.



◆◆  Receive support from people you choose.


Unless there is a compelling medical reason, there is no need to be attached to an electronic fetal monitor. You should be given the option of having your baby’s heartbeat listened to at regular intervals.

MIDWIVES WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO SUPPORT NORMAL, HEALTHY BIRTH

Midwives are experts in supporting women in normal, healthy childbirth. Together with healthcare providers, policy makers, educators, researchers, and of course women, we are working collaboratively to educate all those impacted by childbirth. As a team, we are leading the way to:

◆◆  Encourage all birth settings to adopt supportive policies.


◆◆  Raise consumer awareness.

◆◆  Increase the availability of midwifery care for all women.


◆◆  Educate all healthcare providers about the benefits of this process.

  
◆◆  Continue research efforts to support these goals.
