Infertility
There are numerous case studies reporting successful pregnancies after consistent chiropractic care. The lumbar and sacral regions house the parts of the nervous system that directly connect to the reproductive organs. When a subluxation is present, these nerves become irritated and their connecting organs do not function optimally. Combined with nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes, I will help you gives your body it's best chance to become pregnant.
Preconception
"The choices you make before conception and during each stage of your pregnancy will be a factor in your baby's wellness. During your pregnancy, the lack of interference to the baby's development gives them an opportunity for the inborn intelligence to develop their physical, emotional and spiritual nature."
Prenatal
Adjustments during pregnancy may help with common symptoms such as heartburn, nausea and morning sickness. Adjustments specifically to the pelvis can calm the muscles and allow baby to move into a more comfortable position.
Women under chiropractic care often report having faster, easier labors with less medical intervention.

Pediatrics
Chiropractic is safe and effective for babies and children. The nervous system controls everything in your body and removing the interference between the body and the brain will allow your child to develop optimally and live a healthier and happier life.
Newborns and Infants
Birth is a traumatic event and every newborn should be seen by a chiropractor. Left unchecked, your child may have problems immediately after birth or develop problems down the road. This includes, but is not limited to "colic", ear infections, breastfeeding issues, indigestion, constipation and trouble sleeping.
Toddlers
At this stage, your little one is learning to walk! With that comes lots of falls. Those falls, though they seem minor, are causing microtraumas that should be addressed to prevent your little one from growing with their bones in the wrong place.
School-aged children
During this time, your child's spine should be growing straight, and from the side have healthy, normal curves, which makes this the worst time for your child to have sports injuries and falls. Chiropractic care is especially important in this age group to prevent scoliosis. It is also incredibly beneficial for conditions like bedwetting, seizures, asthma and more!
Teens
By this age, your son or daughter has probably experienced a fall or injury that affected the development of their spine but has not resulted in any pain. Teens tend to spend lots of time on electronic devices that leads to poor postural positions and repetitive stress on your child's developing spine. This is the age when most diagnoses of scoliosis are made. Most cases of scoliosis can be corrected with proper chiropractic care.
Adults
Symptoms of subluxation in adults are headaches, indigestion, heartburn, anxiety, sleeping issues, coordination issues and more. Adults also commonly experience disease processes caused by long-term presence of subluxation, such as arthritis and degeneration. Chiropractic care and a healthy lifestyle allows the joints to move freely and prevents these types of conditions. If you have already been diagnosed, adjustments can provide some relief and prevent them from getting worse.
