We anticipate your needs and questions...we can't get them all, but I think we've done a decent job answering a lot of them.
Why Kids?
Because our Nervous System (our brain, spine and nerves) grow the most in the first 3 years of life. AND continues to control every aspect of our development and health for life. If there are any issues with the function of the Nervous System then the body breaks down. We focus on kids so we can stop any damage while young and get them on the right track for an amazing, healthy life by restoring communication within the nervous system which restores health and allows proper healing, growth and development.
Should I see a chiropractor when I’m pregnant and if so, when?
Short answer, yes and now….and let me explain why.
When you’re pregnant you put additional stress on your body (good stress, great reason but still harder on you) your biomechanics have changed, you’re asking more of your natural resources just to get through each day while you grow another person.
Women under chiropractic care during pregnancy enjoy better pregnancies with less pregnancy related complaints ie: round ligament pain, low back pain, pubic bone pain, sciatica, leg issues, heart burn, overall fatigue, soreness and other common issues. And research shows that being under regular chiropractic care reduces labor times, up to a 30-50% reduction in overall labor time!
And the earlier into your pregnancy the better; don’t wait until there are issues or complaints to start care, you’re already running behind if that happens. Instead, be proactive and start chiropractic care as early as possible to enjoy the benefits of improved health, function, brain communication, and the ability to navigate pregnancy with ease while preparing your body for labor and delivery. Having a healthy pregnancy is your priority, working with chiropractors who specialize in pregnancy care increases the chances of that, as well as your baby being in the optimal position prior to delivery and improving (shortening) your labor times and reducing complications.
Should I continue care after I deliver?
Absolutely! Chiropractic care improves how your body functions, so everything works better. You’ll heal faster and more completely from pregnancy and labor; you’ll be better able to handle the daily stress and requirements of being a new mom. Your sleep (limited as it is) will improve, and your ability to deal with stress will be enhanced. We recommend coming on a regular basis to help feel your best, function at your best and improve your ability to navigate this unique and special time of your life.
Should I have my baby evaluated by a chiropractor?
When your midwife or pediatrician checks your baby after birth they assess for overall health and look for any major issues or concerns. A pediatric chiropractor will assess the function of your baby’s brain, spine and nerves to make sure your baby is functioning properly and able to grow, develop and thrive. If your baby is struggling with eating, sleeping or pooping these are cardinal signs of loss of normal function and communication within the nervous system. Chiropractors are the only ones who assess for function of the nervous system, not your pediatrician, so a collaborative approach is best to maximize the potential and health of your newborn baby. The pressure we use to assess and correct any issue is like squeezing a ripe tomato: gentle, specific and profound for unlocking the healing potential within the body.

Do you see patients who have spinal issues or pain?
Yes we do. We attract tough cases of all ages, including major spinal issues, auto-immune, sensory and developmental issues, major health issues and people who want to improve their health or are simply unhappy with the state of 'healthcare' options that are out there.
Chiropractic care that is focused on the brain will always help, but specific chiropractic care that is delivered at the right time, on the right schedule and with the right intention creates miracles, and we have come to expect miracles!
