What We Do
Chiropractic Care
We know that health is so much more than not feeling pain. We strive to have our patients reach their fullest potential. Beginning with babies (even before birth!) and throughout your life, when we allow our nervous system to reconnect we can discover our potential within.
“The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body.” (Gray’s Anatomy, 29th Ed., pg 4) A Chiropractor works with the spine which is the bony framework of the nervous system. By specifically adjusting a misalignment known as a subluxation, all of the organs and structures of the body may be affected.
Perinatal Care
Regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy greatly benefits mothers and their babies. During pregnancy a mother’s body is changing rapidly in many ways. Chiropractic can help her adapt appropriately - promoting improved comfort, ideal spinal and pelvic alignment, optimal fetal positioning and proper maternal biomechanics. Ideally, this will result in succeeding with her ideal birth plan and reduce the need for invasive interventions during the birth process.
Even with the “easiest” delivery, birth is a challenging event for both the mother and her new baby. Difficult labor, cesarean section, or medical interventions may add further stress to the spine and nervous system, increasing the need for spinal assessment after birth (for mom AND baby.) We support families throughout this “fourth trimester” transition to ensure success in many aspects such as breastfeeding, sleeping, recovery and more- helping your growing family thrive!

Infant & Child Care
Chiropractic care makes its most powerful impact on children. If we can insure the health and strength of the spine while growing, we can support the well being of future generations.
As children grow up they experience tumbles and injuries where their spines and nervous systems are subjected to a multitude of forces which can cause misalignments in the spine called subluxations. Subluxations set the stage for future health problems. It is much easier to combat the subluxation as they occur rather than waiting years to repair cumulative damage.
Why do babies need chiropractic care? Birth is hard work - not just for mom! The forces that a baby experiences during birth commonly lead to poor spinal function that the baby must then adapt to as they learn to use their bodies. Safe and gentle pediatric chiropractic care can help remove barriers to optimal spinal function to promote healthy growth and development, setting up your child for a healthy life!
