Chiropractic care is available to all members of your family. The primary focus of chiropractic care is on your musculoskeletal system—bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints and fascia (other connective tissue) AND your nervous system with emphasis on the spine and joints in the body.

Using their hands, a chiropractor can locate dysfunctional areas and through a series of chiropractic adjustments can reduce or correct the malfunction which will get your body working properly again.

Being pregnant is wonderful but as your tummy grows, strains associated with this joy can result in changes to your posture and gait. Hormone changes and chemical reactions are controlled and coordinated through the nervous system, which is located in the spine.

Chiropractors are uniquely trained to adjust you during pregnancy. They will alter their treatment techniques to suit your growing body and maximize your comfort. Low back pain, mid back pain and pelvic pain respond well to natural chiropractic care.

Later, the posture of nursing the newborn also tires the spine leading to malfunction, discomfort and pain. Regular care can help relieve discomfort as well as normalize body functions for overall good health.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy may help:

• Provide pain relief
• Establish pelvic balance and alignment
• Help maintain a healthier pregnancy

Spinal dysfunction and nerve irritation at any age can cause pain and affect optimal health. Infants and children sustain injury from: the birth process, postural strains associated with learning to use their body, various childhood injuries, carrying heavy backpacks and from emotional and hormonal changes.

More recently, some children (but mostly teens) are experiencing headaches, neck, shoulder and back pains associated with their constant, unrelenting use of hand-held mobile devices. The downward head posture while texting or gaming, puts excessive strain on the spine.

Chiropractors are trained to modify their adjusting techniques based on your child’s size and condition! Bring your child in for their spinal health evaluation!
