Infants
The first, and often worst, trauma a person will experience is the modern birthing process. Adjustments for infants can begin immediately after birth. Our doctors will apply gentle pressure to remove spinal misalignments, correct any damage from childbirth or everyday life, and remove nerve interference. Because adjustments improve nervous system function, chiropractic care from an early age will enhance proper growth and development.
Adjustments for infants can help with these issues:
- Ear infections
- Colic
- Constipation/Irregularity
- Sleeping issues
- Acid Reflux
- Difficulty breast-feeding
- Torticollis
Children
Children experience everyday traumas that affect the proper functioning of their spine and nervous system, and if not addressed early can become progressively worse as they grow up.
Adjustments for children can help with these issues:
- Scoliosis
- Headaches
- Ear Infections
- Constipation/Irregularity
- Sleep Issues
- Bedwetting

What Are the Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care?
There are many benefits associated with prenatal chiropractic care. One of the major benefits is pain relief. Prenatal chiropractic care has also been shown to reduce morning sickness symptoms, decrease the chances of a mother having to have an emergency c-section, decrease the amount of time that a mother is in labor, and help to maintain an overall healthier pregnancy for both the mother and the baby.
Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Any Different From Regular Chiropractic Care?
Prenatal chiropractic care is slightly different than regular chiropractic care. First off, the tables that are used are different. Most prenatal chiropractors use special tables for women. These tables adjust to the woman’s body during pregnancy, keeping pressure off the abdomen region. Second, while many of the techniques used are the same, the amount of pressure used during a manipulation can vary. Hormones in the body can make your joints, ligaments, and soft tissue softer during pregnancy, so care must be taken to ensure these techniques relieve pressure without causing injury.
Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe for Both Mother and Child?
Prenatal chiropractic care is safe for both the mother and the child, as long as the mother is having a normal, healthy pregnancy.
