What Is The Diaphragm And Why Should You Care?
The diaphragm is essential to breathing, being a muscle of respiration. It sits under your lungs, attaching to the spine, rib cage and sternum (bone in the middle of your chest). It is controlled by the phrenic nerve, a nerve that originates in your neck. It separates the thorax (chest) from the abdomen (belly).
Chiropractic And Pregnancy
Chiropractic care is a safe and effective modality for pregnant women. Chiropractors focus on strengthening the nervous system to assist in a better quality of life for mums-to-be and help in the growth and development of your baby.
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The nerves facilitate the functioning of every single cell, organ and muscle in your body which includes the development of your baby.

Dowager’s Hump
Dowager’s hump which many people refer to as the hunchback is a bump that can be seen on the base of the neck. It is usually accommodated with a forward head posture. The more forward the head sits, the more stress is placed on the base of the neck which can change the spinal curvatures. This overtime causes the back muscles to weaken causing other muscles to be put under constant strain due to overuse.
