Our mission is to spread the power of holistic perinatal and pediatric care.
PERINATAL CHIROPRACTIC
The perinatal period refers to the time before and immediately after birth. Chiropractic care optimizes every parent’s chance of having a safe pregnancy, labor, and delivery. As your body prepares for and grows with the baby, your nervous system is busy working! The uterus is a muscle that is powered by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. These nerves need to work in sync and as optimally as possible for proper uterine function.
POSTPARTUM CHIROPRACTIC
Pregnancy, labor, and birth are natural processes. However, your body experiences a great deal of musculoskeletal and neurological changes during this time. Chiropractic care can support the proper healing and repair process during postpartum periods. A balanced nervous system will help a postpartum mom with: sleep, stress management, recovery, pain and/or discomfort.

PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTIC
Stress in an infant can present as: tense or weak muscles, colic, torticollis, difficulty latching and more. A child's spinal stress can display in anxiety, bed wetting, developmental delays, and more. Every child deserves chiropractic care. It is never too early to have your child’s spine checked. The first trauma to the spine occurs during the birth process. Whether a child is lifted out of a belly or pushed out of a vaginal canal, a baby’s spine experiences stress.
GENERAL CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic care is proven to improve nervous system function and allow proper physical, emotional, and social expression. Overall, it increases the body’s ability to function optimally at every turn! If you are experiencing ANY pain or discomfort, chiropractic care is a safe, hands-on method of recovery and rehabilitation. At our clinic, we make the most of every session by providing adjustments, stretches, dry needling, and other therapies to expedite your healing process.
