Over the past two years Dr. Ann Marie has presented topics on natural ways to enhance the pregnancy and the natural benefits of breastfeeding to La Leche League, interested parents and health care professionals. Many of the childhood concerns, such as ear infections, colic, growing pains, asthma, and allergies are often due to stress within the nervous system from the birthing process and learning to crawl and walk. Through nutritional support and chiropractic adjustments the extra stimulation due to stress on the nervous system can be removed.

Wussow Chiropractic is a Family Wellness clinic. Dr. Heather O. Patterson is the only pediatric/obstetric chiropractor certified by the ICPA in Madison. Chiropractic during pregnancy makes for a safer and easier birth for you and your child. If you have a breech baby, transverse baby or are simply a high risk case; then chiropractic can help you and your baby. It also helps mothers restore normal function to their pelvis and with post-partum depression after delivery. Chiropractic for your newborn is essential. The birthing process is painful for the mother but can you imagine how hard it is on the child? I recommend all mothers to get their newborns checked. If your newborn has colic or acid reflux or has lost more than 10% of its body weight or cannot latch properly these are classic signs of Dis-Ease in your child. Symptoms are our warning signs. We as parents owe it to our kids not to ignore our child's warning signs. Find out more about these issues at www.icpa4kids.com or feel free to call or email Dr. Heather at heather@wussowchiropractic.com or 608-833-1114.
