​
Pediatric chiropractic is a specialized branch of chiropractic care that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions in children from birth through adolescence.

By addressing these issues early on, pediatric chiropractors can help promote optimal health and wellness in children and prevent future health problems from developing.

Pregnancy

PREGNANCY
​
Are you experiencing discomfort during your pregnancy? Chiropractic care may be able to help. Pregnancy can put a lot of physical stress on the body, and many women experience lower back pain as a result. Chiropractic care can provide relief and help promote better spinal alignment, which can improve overall comfort during pregnancy. Additionally, chiropractic care can support the immune system, reduce stress, and promote overall health and wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
​
Lower back pain is a common issue for pregnant women, affecting 50-70% of them at some point during pregnancy, according to the American Pregnancy Association. The discomfort usually peaks around the third trimester, as this is when the baby gains the most weight and places the most strain on the back.
​
Pregnancy brings a multitude of changes to a woman's body, as it must accommodate the growing baby. As weight is gained, a mother's center of gravity shifts from its natural position to the front of her pelvis, causing stress and discomfort to the lower back and various joints in the pelvis. These changes can be challenging to cope with, but chiropractic care can help alleviate some of the discomfort and promote better spinal alignment for overall health and wellbeing during pregnancy.
