Pregnant and Missing an "Adjustment" in Your Life?

Hello all!

So it seems this holiday season has been the time for families and even more exciting: NEW ADDITIONS to families! We have seen many new little ones pop up this season and it reminded me that Chiropractic care can help move along all processes of pregnancy!

I have been researching the benefits and have found a plethora of useful info.

Here are just a few of the them:

There are millions of hormonal and chemical changes that occur in the body; especially when pregnant. This is often one of the most vital times of both the mother and infant.

Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy has been proven to be an effective means of maintaining the normal physiolofical functions of the mother as well as the baby. The pregnancy can become much more comfortable before, during, and after delivery.

Chiropractic techniques stimulate the nervous system and enables proper functioning of organs, thus supporting needs of the baby throughout the terms.

For The Expectant Mother:

Removes ligament tension and reduces torsion to the uterus.
Creates a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles & ligaments.
Allows a safer, easier birth for the mother by decreasing the potential for intervention.

For Infants

Allows for better baby development by removing interference to mother’s nerve system
Offers baby more room to develop without restrictions to it’s forming skeletal structures such as the cranium and spine.
Provides the baby with the best possible position for birth.


It's amazing the benefits I would have never thought were possible for our patients who are expecting. I am glad we are able to help them all and congrats Stephanie! =)

Week One; On the verge of something great...

Hello Seattle!

My name is Kira Inglis and I am the new receptionist at Northgate Chiropractic. This is my first week and WOW, what a whirlwind of information it has been. And not the kind that goes in one ear and out the other.

I am discovering new things about body functions, symptoms of potentially life-threatening diseases, as well as proper ways to take care of myself and well-being. And not through articles and heresay: it’s through a legitimate Doc. It’s actually very relieving to talk on- on-one with an actual professional and see what I can do to help myself.

I am not going to lie- I had no idea what chiropractic could do for me or for anyone. You drive by so many businesses and see all sorts of practices and signs for local chiropractors but who actually knows what they do?

You will never know until you go. Period.

The shocking thing is that chiropractic help can start as early 3 months old! But on average, people don’t realize the benefits until it’s too late. Ugh. (I’m 24 and already cracking my back!).

But I’m not a preacher (not ever will be!) and I know some things are better learned through experience. So I encourage you to look into it.

QUICK FACTS:
Big Reasons to see a Chiropractor:

Car accidents
Sports injuries
Any back pain!
Banana peel you slipped on
Bad mattress/pillow arrangement
Headaches
Numbness/Pins & Needles!
Any form of insurance that already covers it =) (might as well get your back checked right?)

And as the first week of my new job ends I would have to say that I have learned a lot more than any of my college courses have taught me in 7 days. Haha. Or maybe because I actually understand and see the worth in what I am learning about (relieving pain VS rocks for jocks…..)

Well that’s all for today. I hope everybody had a great Wednesday!

"Our Patients Speak"

I had totally unexpected back pain on a Monday morning after an intense workout one weekend that had me stuck in bed and unable to go to work. After two quick visits with Dr. Steve I was back at work and by the end of the week I was totally functional again. What I so appreciated was Dr. Steve’s empathy and genuine concern for my quick recovery, so much so that he extended hours once to ensure I was taken care of and didn't have to miss more work.

Thank thank thank you to Dr. Steve

So I went and saw Dr. Stephen Lachuta after I had a accident with a Elk. Not only did he make me feel better with my back, he helped with my migraines and made the 6'4" a little taller.

He is one of the most amazing Chiropractors in Seattle.

"Our Patients" Speak - Jen W.

“Our Patients” Speak

After having two babies 15 months apart, I started having severe back pain. Lugging them both around, along with the diaper bag and infant carrier finally took a good toll on my back. I was in constant pain and I was having a hard time getting down to play with my boys. At one point, I even got stuck on the floor. My back was so torqued that I couldn't get up!

I made an appointment with Dr. Steve. At this point, the pain was nauseating and was really distracting me from work, sleep, all that necessary stuff! My mobility was minimal and even driving was difficult because of the stiffness.

I noticed a difference after my first visit. He made an adjustment and I could literally feel the pain release from my spine. After a just a few visits, I was feeling good again.

I highly recommend this guy! He knows what he's doing, your pain and issues are important to him and he's just a nice guy. Thanks, Dr. Steve!
