Fifteen years ago, Dr. Melissa Birdsell graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic with a vision to serve families with thoughtful, individualized care.

Since then, she has supported newborns, pregnant moms, athletes, and entire families through every season of life. She continued her education, expanded her techniques, and added acupuncture to better meet each patient exactly where they are.

Birdsell Chiropractic and Acupuncture was built on the belief that care is never one-size-fits-all and that every person deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered in their health.

Fifteen years later, she is still learning, still serving, and still incredibly grateful for this community.

If you’ve been part of the journey in any way, drop a 💛 below.

Pregnant mamas, are you dealing with that all-too-common pregnancy backache?

Let’s talk about why it happens and how prenatal chiropractic care can help ⬇️

As your little one grows, your body undergoes A LOT of changes. 😮‍💨

Your center of gravity shifts forward, causing your lower back to curve more than usual. This extra curve (what we call hyperlordosis) puts strain on your spinal joints and muscles, leading to that persistent back ache.

Also, your body is producing relaxin, a hormone that softens and loosens muscles and ligaments.

💛 This is obviously by design and helpful to accommodate a growing belly and labor/delivery, but it can lead to pain well before you’re baby bump is even showing!

This is where pelvic balancing adjustments comes into play! This specialized approach was developed specifically for pregnant women and focuses on:
🤰🏼 Balancing the pelvis by gently adjusting the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine)
🤰🏼 Reducing tension in the round ligaments that support your uterus
🤰🏼 Decreasing stress on the uterosacral ligaments that connect your uterus to your sacrum
🤰🏼 Restoring proper alignment and movement to your pelvic joints

These gentle, precise adjustments help maintain optimal pelvic alignment throughout your pregnancy, reducing nerve pressure and allowing your baby more room to grow and move.

Hurray for nixing the pregnancy back pain that you’re so often told to “just deal with”!

Is your child experiencing bedwetting (aka nocturnal enuresis) long after they’ve been potty trained?

This can be tough for both children and parents, but we’re here to provide support to your family.

The nervous system is the master control center of the body. It controls all bodily systems, including the bladder.

When the neurological communication between your child’s brain and their bladder is disrupted, it can potentially contribute to bladder dysfunction and bedwetting.

Chiropractors (especially chiropractors with extra training in pediatrics like Dr. Melissa Birdsell) aim to realign the spine, reduce nerve interference, and restore proper nervous system function through GENTLE adjustments, and parents in our practice have reported fewer accidents after consistent care!

If you’ve tried using the bathroom before bed, avoiding water, setting alarms, and all. the. things. but nothing is working, let us help!

We can take a deeper look into their brain and nervous system for some answers. 🧠

Why do we recommend REGULAR adjustments?

➡️ Because you keep going back to your life!

If you lived in a vacuum of zero environmental/chemical, emotional, or physical stressors, we would recommend you come in way less often.

But that isn’t reality, is it?

This is why we shout from the Birdsell Chiropractic rooftops about chiropractic care being a necessary part of your life.

Stress waits for no one. 😉

But docs... I thought chiropractic was for pain? Why do so many of your patients come for STRESS?

Because chiropractors are really more like nervous system specialists. Have you ever looked at a model spine or a chart of your nervous system?

Imagine your nervous system is a garden hose and you kink the hose so the water is only a trickle. Sure, water is still coming out, so it is technically “working.” But is that optimal? Nah.

So let us get the water flowing - aka remove those “kinks” from your nervous system- regularly.

Comment “ME!” to get on the schedule!

If you suffer from or , have you tried chiropractic care?

According to chiroeco.com, “A 2017 article, published in the European Journal of Neurology, detailed a 17-month randomized study that included 104 patients who suffered from at least one migraine attack per month.

The study included three groups of patients: one that received standard pharmaceutical treatment for migraines, one that received chiropractic spinal manipulations, and one that received placebo manipulations. The active study period lasted for three months, with a one-month run-up beforehand, and then follow-up periods of three, six, and 12 months afterward.

The number of migraine days was significantly reduced for all three groups from baseline to post-treatment, while this effect continued for the chiropractic treatment group through all the follow-up time points.

Furthermore, duration of migraines were significantly reduced in the chiropractic group than in the control pharmaceutical group toward the end of the follow-up period of the study.”

We see you...

& there’s a reason we are the reigning “low back pain whisperers” in Moline, IL of the Quad Cities .

Many of our patients have tried pain meds, heating pads, endless stretches... you name it. And maybe you even find it hard to enjoy even the simplest things like picking up your kid or grabbing a glass from the top shelf.

The reason many of these “remedies” don’t work? You likely have a STRUCTURAL and/or soft tissue issue that needs to be resolved at the root.

We all have our own unique patterns and ways of moving whether we realize it or not.

These patterns could be from acute injury, yes, but they could even stem from always wearing your wallet in the same back pocket or slouching at your desk.

Our team at Birdsell Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic will focus on addressing the root cause of your pain- no masking symptoms here!

If you’re stuck in the low back pain cycle, don’t give up! Chiropractic care might be the missing piece, and who knows, you might even feel 10 years younger. 😉

Call our office or send us a message to set up your first visit! 309-764-8822 ext1 or request an appointment on our website www.birdsellchiropractic.com .
