Prenatal and Postnatal Care
Pregnancy & Webster Technique
If you are pregnant and experiencing physical discomfort, chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle, and effective way to alleviate your symptoms. Specialized techniques and tools are employed to ensure your comfort and safety during treatment, taking into account the continuously changing biomechanics of a pregnant woman's body. Don't let pregnancy-related aches and pains hinder your enjoyment of this special time in your life. Consider chiropractic care for relief.
The Webster Technique is a chiropractic adjustment that helps balance pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments and optimize the mother’s pelvic function during pregnancy and birth. It treats a misaligned pelvis that tightens specific muscles and ligaments, which may prevent the baby from achieving the best possible position for birth.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can relieve common discomforts and restore balance to the pelvis, creating an environment for the baby for an easier, quicker, and safer delivery. It reduces interference to the nervous system, allowing the body to function at its full potential.

Post-Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Bringing a new life into this world can be an incredible experience, but it can also take a toll on a woman's body. It's not uncommon for women to experience discomfort, aches, and pains post-pregnancy, which can be challenging to deal with.
However, there is hope. Chiropractic care is an effective way to alleviate these symptoms, allowing the body to adjust more quickly to the physical changes during pregnancy. With proper care, women can enjoy motherhood with greater ease and comfort, and embrace the joys of their new role.
After giving birth, the human body undergoes significant changes that can be both empowering and overwhelming. While it's common to experience low back and hip pain, neck pain related to feeding, pelvic floor dysfunction, Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA), urinary incontinence, pelvic girdle pain, core dysfunction, and pelvic organ prolapse; it's essential to remember that these symptoms should not be considered normal.
Our healthcare providers will work with you to address these concerns, discussing hormone imbalances, mental health, thyroid dysfunction, and returning to exercise. We're here to support you every step of the way, so you can feel confident and empowered as you navigate motherhood.
Pediatric Care
Common reasons families seek pediatric chiropractic care:
Infant Feeding Issues, Torticollis, Reflux, Frequent Ear Infections, Delay In Meeting Developmental Milestones, Postural Problems, and Wellness Care top the list. Research has shown that chiropractic adjustments can improve children's health by reducing nervous system interference. This can make children more resistant to illnesses and help their bodies function optimally.
Chiropractic care helps to effectively manage common childhood issues such as allergies, asthma, colic, bedwetting, headaches, sinusitis, reflux, and chronic ear infections. It is essential to have your child's spine checked by a chiropractor after significant falls or trips commonly occurring during childhood. This way, you can help maintain the health of your child's still-developing and fragile spine.
Regular spinal check-ups by a chiropractor can prevent your child from experiencing chronic neck and back pain in their teenage years or even adulthood.
