Most people think of prenatal chiropractic (before birth) when they are experiencing back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, or other pregnancy-related symptoms. While we can certainly help get relief from those discomforts, that is not our biggest priority. We are focused on preparing your body for the best birth outcomes. Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care contributes to a more straightforward labor and birth with less pain and trauma for mom and baby as the nervous system is more primed for the big event.

Your baby has just experienced quite the ride – no matter how she/he/they entered this world. Your baby’s positioning within your uterus may or may not have been ideal, the birth process may/may not have been strenuous, and the world can be a hard place to adjust to. Seeing a chiropractor immediately after birth grants you the ability to jump start your body’s healing process. Chiropractic care ensures proper blood flow to these tightening ligaments, aligns the spine to allow proper communication within your nervous system (the way the brain and body communicate), and as an added bonus can alleviate aches, pains, and other symptoms.

Many women do not learn about their cycle or how their bodies work until they're in their 20’s or 30’s. Often this knowledge comes from a deep desire to start a family. One of our biggest priorities is to educate women and young girls about what goes on in their bodies during each phase of their cycle-- such as when ovulation occurs when trying to prevent pregnancy or conceive, the root cause(s) of hormonal acne, solutions other than “the pill”, and how chiropractic care can help create a more balanced system for a smoother cycle.

THERMOGRAPHY

Developed by NASA, thermography measures temperature differentials at each vertebral level to indicate inflammation present from nerve irritation and/or vertebral dysfunction. This allows us to get a baseline scan of the function of your spine as well as track improvement at regular intervals. This scan will also alert us to any areas that may need targeted intervention to achieve the desired results.

HEART RATE VARIABILITY

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the adaptability of the patient’s autonomic nervous system. Dysfunction stems from too little or too much response. Too little response and a person might suffer from depression or chronic fatigue. Too much response and a person might be anxious or temperamental. Heart Rate Variability gives us a window into how the patient's nervous system is functioning, what dysfunctional process might be present, and what interventions may be needed. Typically, we scan to get a baseline and at regular intervals during care to monitor your progress.
