Hamilton Chiropractic

Isn’t this so true? Getting to know someone gives a personal connection and once you have a personal connection it’s hard to un-connect. Connection is what keeps us human. Remember to be kind to all and grow your connections with everyone, even if it seems hard! Connecting to your body may be the first connection you need to start with. If you need help connecting reach out! We would love to help you reconnect to your body through chiropractic!... #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #connection #humanconnection #bekind #sanmateomoms #bayareamoms

Double pillows mean we are getting close to meeting babe. Sending this mama all the positive birthing vibes as she came in for her last adjustment with mild contractions and all. Did you know that chiropractic care can help with labor that has stalled? Because chiropractic is phenomenal at balancing the pelvis, it can help labor continue as the body is restored to function properly. Adjustments are very gentle you can even receive care during labor. Dr. Elise loves checking m...amas on their way to give birth and on their way home with their new family member. #hamiltonchiropractic #hamiltonchiros #pregnancychiropractor #birthchiropractor #prenatalchiropractic #perinatalchiropractic #sanmateomoms #bayareamama

Merry Christmas from your Hamilton Chiros. Wishing you all the best in health, family and joy. #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #sanmateo #bayarea #femursandhips

The Webster Technique A favorite of Dr. Elise’s to assess and balance the pelvis during pregnancy. Using structure, muscles and ligaments, this technique gives optimal position to the pelvis, so baby has the space they need to grow, thrive, and prepare for birth. It’s a gentle way to adjust and gives mom the chance to relax face down, which they love (hello pregnancy pillow).... Pregnant? Know someone who is pregnant? Tag them below so they can learn about the Webster technique. #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #webstertechnique #webstertechniquecertified #sanmateomoms #bayareamoms #chiropracticcareforpregnancy #prenatalchiropractic #perinatalchiropractic

The connection between your brain and your spinal cord starts in your neck, the cervical spine, which means taking care of your neck is essential for the rest of your body to function optimally. During pregnancy, it is essential that your entire spine (from neck to pelvis) be moving properly so your nervous system can take care of you and baby! This is why Dr. Elise doesn’t limit care to the pelvis, but your entire spine, including your neck. Let us help your entire spine fun...ction properly, so you can have a great pregnancy! #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #prenatalchiropractic #perinatalchiropractic #sanmateomoms #bayareamoms #pedschiro #sanmateo #sanmateochiropractor

What causes clogged ducts in a nursing mama? We actually don’t know definitively what or why nursing mamas get clogged ducts, but there are some ideas around it. Here are 3 most common reasons why moms might get a clogged duct or mastitis: 1-mom has an over supply of milk 2-efficiency of emptying the breast... 3-added pressure from tight clothes or sleeping Many mamas can wake up with a clogged duct and quickly get baby nursing to help relieve it, but sometimes those clogs are already well established and need something a little more to get it to clear. This is the perfect time to get ultrasound. The earlier we can work on the clog the quicker we can clear it, which also means less treatment for mama. Home remedies are great and they typically work for most moms, but why waste days suffering through the pain when you have this great resource to help you faster! If you don’t know someone in your area that does therapeutic ultrasound, reach out to us and we will happily help you find one close to you! #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #sanmateomoms #bayareamoms #nursingmama #cloggedducts #therapeuticultrasound #cleartheclog #prenatalchiropractor #perinatalchiropractor

We also recommend foam rolling for our patients and even during pregnancy.

Injury Prevention for Baseball Players Throughout the course of a baseball season, players often lose ranges of motion commonly in their hips and shoulder. This is even more dramatic with pitchers and it is established that losses of range of motion is correlated with an increased risk of injury (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29435468/). The body will adapt to the stresses placed upon it and there are many changes that will occur over the course of a season (https://pubmed....ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31891517/). With more youth players playing year round, it is increasingly important for these players to take care of their bodies to mitigate the risk of injury. There isn't anyone better to help than Dr. Ryan Hamilton who has extensive knowledge in soft tissue care, exercise, and the game of baseball. The treatment he provides can be a game changer to keep players performing at their best. We'll take care of you every step of the way during the season and during the offseason. #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #baseballplayers #softtissuemanagement #activereleasetechnique #grastontechnique #sanmateoathletes #bayareaathletes #pitchers #hipmobility #increaserangeofmotion #highschoolathletes #sportschiro #sportschiropractic

I will never not be in awe of the human body, especially during pregnancy. Today, while mom was getting adjusted, baby got the hiccups. And while hiccups are traditionally annoying to adults, babies are not phased by them. As I worked on mom’s round ligaments, I could feel baby having hiccups. I could visually see baby hiccuping, too, as the belly pulsed along with the hiccup. It’s common for baby to give me a push or explore what I’m doing while I’m doing it, but today was e...xtra special. Having experienced my baby hiccuping inside me, it felt like such a personal experience between the two of us, so when I could feel someone else’s baby hiccuping I automatically shared in that personal experience. These moments are what I love about my career. As a prenatal chiropractor, I’m not just a doctor who helps you get out of pain during pregnancy, to avoid back pain, or neck pain, but a doctor who knows your body, allows you to connect with your baby at a higher level, and to be more in tune with your body so you can experience your best pregnancy. I take extreme care for mama and baby because they have trusted me and invited me to share these intimate moments with them. I am forever thankful and always honored! #prenatalchiropractic #prenatalchiro #prenatalchiropractor #pregnancychiropractor #pregnancycare #roundligaments #pregnantbelly #smallbabybump #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #sanmateomoms #ilovemyjob #bestjobintheworld

Come learn with us at another offering of our workshop! Early bird ending soon!

Final bits of our summer garden. We learned lots of lessons through growing our own food and many different lessons from last year. To be honest, this year wasn’t as easy or bountiful as last year and it was frustrating. We still got plenty of delicious food, but some things never grew, like our tomatoes. It’s been humbling to learn from the earth. It should be so simple. Plant the seed, water it, and make sure it gets sun light. Those are the basics, but growing anything is ...much more than that, just like most things in life. Our growth is cultivated from nurturing yourself with good food, good energy, and movement. You may need a little extra love sprinkled on top or some rest to rejuvenate. Taking these lessons learned and applying them to life, but also getting the garden ready for winter so we can have a better garden next year! What have you learned from your garden this year? #gardenliving #eatfromyourgarden #plantsarefood #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #summergarden #endofgardeningseason #healthyeating #eattherainbow

Adjusting babies can be done in various positions. Having baby lay on mom is one way we adjust them. Adjusting this way helps them feel comfortable because they are surrounded by familiar smells and comforts of mom. We have baby lay on their tummy, as well as their back, to complete the adjustment and they love it! This is the sweet view Dr. Elise gets to have daily as she cares for families. We are always so honored to work with the littlest members of the family. #hamiltonchiros #hamiltonchiropractic #pedschiro #pediatricchiropractic #tinyadjustments #sanmateo #healthybaby #chiropracticbaby #chirokids
