Care During Pregnancy

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy.

We use tables that adjust for a pregnant woman's body, and use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen.

We are versed in the needs of women who are pregnant and will also provide you with exercises and stretches that are safe to use during pregnancy and compliment any adjustments made to your spine.

Why should I have chiropractic care during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joint:

Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
Pelvic changes
Postural adaptations
Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy may provide benefits for women who are pregnant. Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:

Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
Controlling symptoms of nausea
Reducing the time of labor and delivery
Relieving back, neck or joint pain
Prevent a potential cesarean section

Pediatric Care

The need for Chiropractic care in children is often overlooked.

Is or has your child experienced any of the following?
 -Ear Infections
 -ADHD
-Bed Wetting
-Trouble Concentrating
-Scoliosis
-Allergies
-Sleeplessness
-Poor posture
-Back pain
-Asthma
-Torticollis
-Slow development
-Colic
-Frequent colds or illness
How does Chiropractic help?

Chiropractic opens the nervous system pathways to all of your bones, muscles, organs, hormones, everything in your body.
If you shut off the hose to your garden, the plants wither up and dry out. The same is true for your spine, if your nervous system is “pinched” off, parts of your body may be missing the vitality they need.

When should I have my child checked? 
The earlier the better. We had a natural homebirth and I adjusted my baby girl after 45 minutes of being brought into this world. Your child has already sustained a great amount of stress and trauma to his spine. The birthing process alone is a huge amount of stress and strain on your child. And then to think about how many accidents and falls a child has just by the time he/she is able to walk, the better question might be, “Why have I waited this long to have my child checked”.
What you do now may affect your child for the rest of their life.

Certified Herbalist on site

Herbalists use herbs and whole foods to support the body in its proper function. Looking to the cause behind disease, herbalists know that symptoms are really the body's signal that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Through consultation with clients, an herbalist collects detailed health information and seeks to educate the client about the safe and effective use of herbs as well as healthy diet and lifestyle suggestions. The client has the opportunity to have a custom made formula suited to their own unique health situation.

Herbalists are not doctors. They do not diagnose, treat or prescribe drugs, choosing instead to work with clients to improve their health though safe and natural modalities.
