How do we Help with Prenatal & Pediatric Chiropractic?
This care is focused on the unique needs of pregnant women and children. For prenatal patients, chiropractic helps maintain proper alignment in the spine and pelvis, which can reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support a smoother delivery. For children, adjustments help ensure healthy development of the spine and nervous system, which are critical during early growth stages.
How it works
Prenatal chiropractic often uses the Webster Technique — a gentle, pregnancy-specific method that reduces stress on the pelvis and surrounding ligaments. Pediatric care involves light, precise adjustments tailored to a child’s size, age, and developmental stage. There’s no cracking or forceful movement, just safe support for a healthy spine and nervous system.
Why it’s effective
During pregnancy, shifting weight and posture changes can strain the lower back and pelvis. Keeping the spine aligned helps reduce pain, optimize fetal positioning, and improve mobility. For children, early adjustments can support better sleep, digestion, immune function, and physical development by reducing interference in the nervous system.
