Why Vero Chiropractic?

Vero is unlike traditional chiropractic offices. They address the master control system of the body, the nervous system. They get an assessment of your overall health, through a full neurological and structural analysis. This allows them to help your body achieve optimal health for you and your baby!

Vero utilizes several main technologies to assess your body for stress and correct it, allowing your body to heal from the inside out, naturally.

Neurological Evaluation

Using thermal-infrared technology, they assess your entire spine and nervous system to find miscommunications between your brain and body.

Muscle Assessment

Then they evaluate your muscles using surface electromyography or sEMG to see how they are responding and contracting along your spine. sEMG is the same technology as an EKG for your heart, only for your muscles.

Spinal Exam

A full spinal examination will help them see where structural shifts and subluxations may have occurred.

Utilizing these technologies, they can locate where each and every one of these misalignments or subluxations are located. This allows them to administer a very gentle, specific, chiropractic adjustment realigning those bones back into proper position, taking pressure off the nerves, and restoring the communication from your brain to your body.

The results of this treatment provides more than just symptom relief, but optimal health over time. Giving the body time and repetition, they will see you reach your health goals, reduce stress and allow your body to heal from the INSIDE OUT.

I suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I came to Vero in January 2019 in search of more help in my infertility journey. My cousin-in-law told me about neurologically based care, and I was willing to do whatever it took to help increase my chances. After 6 short weeks I got a positive pregnancy test and am currently 37 weeks pregnant. I have continued my care throughout my whole pregnancy and I truly believe that it has made my pregnancy a lot smoother and pain free!” Peyton, Vero Patient

Vero Chiropractic loves working with both expecting and new moms. They have pregnancy and post-partum specific techniques. Their doctors have specific certifications to give the best care possible. Symptoms they treat regularly include low back pain, as well as other related issues, such as sciatica, leg cramps and constipation. Vero also recommends exercises for women to do during pregnancy to reduce pain and strengthen their back.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care Before and During Pregnancy

Did you know chiropractic care can help you get pregnant? Vero can help you have a comfortable and fun pregnancy and then a fantastic birth process and recovery afterwards.

When I was 6 months pregnant I experienced low back pain, constipation, and difficulty sitting or driving for more than 30 minutes. I had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Before this pregnancy I experienced 5 miscarriages in a row and doctors couldn’t find anything physically wrong to cause it.

When I finally got pregnant, I decided to start chiropractic care and was able to carry full term with no issues! I had previously done traditional chiropractic care and it was so painful and never seemed to help. When I started neurological- based care I was skeptical, but wanted to give it a try. Now I look forward to coming and knowing I will feel better and better.

My results since starting have been life changing. I feel better and had a smooth pregnancy and a healthy natural birth because of Vero.” Rae Jenna, Vero patient

Helping Infantile Colic

Even a very gentle chiropractic adjustment can clear up major subluxations in an infant. Sometimes, it will take several treatments to restore the alignment of the spine and ensure healthy development is on track. A properly aligned spine restores the nervous system to its optimal function, allowing the body to heal and thrive.

Many people have observed that even after a minor adjustment, their child’s capacity for breastfeeding is increased and they cry less because they are more comfortable. Once the child’s nervous system is fully functioning, they are at a decreased risk for allergies, ADD/ADHD, colds, flus, ear infections, asthma, and delayed development.

Dr. Josiah adjusted James shortly after birth. At around 2 weeks old James was suffering from colic which caused him to be fussy and uncomfortable for hours at a time.

James found immediate relief after adjustments from Dr. Josiah. James would fall asleep directly following the adjustment and sleep for hours. He also was much less fussy during the days following the adjustments.

Being a first-time mom it’s hard to know if you are doing things right. Chiropractic is one of those things that I know I am doing right for my son. I appreciate what Dr. Josiah does for James more than words can say.” Kim, Vero patient

Chiropractic Care and Infertility

As neurologically-based chiropractors in West Des Moines, we help patients with their overall health, including those struggling with infertility. People become infertile for a variety of reasons, including improper nervous system function, increased stress, poor diet, weight issues, and the list goes on. These issues can cause varying levels of stress on the body. A  pregnancy on top of any pre-existing stressors only compounds the stress on the body. 

When they say things happen or “don’t” happen for a reason, it’s true. Your body can sense if it can support a healthy fetus. If it can’t then it won’t allow for conception to even occur or the pregnancy will result in an unfortunate miscarriage. Even the procedures themselves such as IVF or artificial insemination are emotionally-charged and high-stress events adding fuel to the already burning fire.

This is where chiropractic care comes into play. Vero strives to achieve the optimal level of health in our practice members, especially those trying to conceive. This is done through precise, pinpoint adjustments to the master control system of your body, the nervous system. The goal is to reduce stress, correct misalignments, and create the most healthy environment possible for you and your future child!
