Prenatal Chiropractic Care
How can chiropractic care help?
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time in a woman’s life, but it can also come with discomfort as the body changes. In fact, approximately 50 percent of women will experience some form of pain or discomfort before delivery. Studies have shown that the physical intensity of carrying a baby is equivalent to running a marathon, every day, for 40-weeks! Many expecting moms may not be aware that chiropractic care can provide safe and effective solutions for managing these discomforts.

“Pregnancy is the most energetically expensive activity the human body can maintain for nine months.”
Webster Technique
When the pelvis is misaligned, it can warp the space the baby has in the womb. This causes unnecessary tension and stress on the ligaments and supporting structures in the pelvic bowl, which makes it harder for the baby to be in the ideal position for delivery. Chiropractic care focuses on allowing the body to function at its optimum potential. As a prenatal chiropractic provider we focus on pelvic balance. How do we do this? By utilizing the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a specific, and gentle chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, function and balance of the pelvic region is improved.
Our goal is to keep you healthy and comfortable throughout pregnancy, post-partum recovery, and beyond!
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Infants
The first trauma that we all experience is birth, whether a natural delivery or a caesarean. Our goal is to help your baby start their life without interference in their nervous system. Adjustments for babies can begin immediately after birth, and they are vastly different from adult adjustments. Our doctors will apply gentle pressure to certain spots on baby’s body to remove spinal misalignments and nerve interference. Because adjustments improve nervous system function, adjustments for baby enhances growth and development.
Adjustments for baby can help with:
Ear infections
Colic
Constipation/Irregularity
Sleeping issues
Acid reflux
Latching issues
Torticollis
Children
Children need adjusting, too! Every fall, every wrong twist or turn puts pressure on a child’s nervous system and can cause the spine to become misaligned. Why wait until that child is an adult with pain and issues that could have been prevented? As our children are developing that muscle memory, we work to allow their system to develop proper mechanics which in turn can minimize risk of injury later in life. Healthy kids make healthy adults!
Adjustments for children can help with:
Headaches
Ear infections
Constipation/Irregularity
Sleeping issues
Bedwetting
