Pregnancy & Pediatrics​

The miracle of pregnancy and post-partum is not one that we take lightly. If there is such a time to ensure a well-functioning nervous system, it is the time surrounding pregnancy.

​​

During pregnancy the mother’s body changes daily. There is not a day that goes by that major growth and development is happening with both mother and baby. It is especially critical that the mother receive regular chiropractic care during this time. As her abdomen grows, increased pressure and weight is placed on her body. Chiropractic helps improve the function of the nervous system during this time, as well as provide ease to many of the aches and pains associated with pregnancy.

​

Postpartum care is a time that is often overlooked & underestimated. However, we highly recommend consistent care during this phase as the mother’s body starts to find it’s new “normal” again. During pregnancy, the body secretes a hormone called relaxin, whose primary purpose is to increase flexibility of muscles, joints, ligaments, etc in preparation of a growing baby and birth. Following birth, the mother’s body will get rid of this hormone. It is during this phase that we want to ensure proper alignment of bones and joints so that mother’s body heals well & she can focus wholly on the new wonderful life she’s holding in her arms!
