Babies

I have recently been blessed with the opportunity to become a father. These last few weeks have been some of the best weeks of my life. It is truly incredible that my new son grew from a single cell to a miniature little human in just 9 months and without any help from anybody, he did it all on his own. Everything in his little body did what is was supposed to do because innately it knew how to do it. This reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, "The power that created the body has the ability to heal the body." It has been fun to watch him grow each day and see him learn new things as his little body develops.

Just like our older bodies, babies go through stresses each day. These stresses can be detrimental to the bodies ability to adapt and heal as it should. So just like us, babies need to have their spines checked by a chiropractor. Just think about all the stress that was put on his little spine and body as he was squeezed out of his mother like toothpaste from a tube during child birth. Do you think that he could have some defensive posture in his spine and some undo tension in his nervous system? I would say so! I have been taking a Network Spinal Analysis class at school this quarter and we had the wonderful opportunity to have my teacher give him one of his first spinal entrainments. It was great to see how he responded to it and use the entrainment to help his little body work out some of the built up tension and allow him to have more effortless mind-body control through his nervous system. Also the awesome thing about entraining/adjusting babies is they cannot fake it. So here is a little video of Dr Brian T. Lumb giving a spinal entrainment to our little boy at one week old, enjoy:
