CHIROPRACTIC ASSESSMENT & ADJUSTMENTS
Your initial visit will include a thorough examination of health history, a neurological evaluation, an orthopedic examination, and a general chiropractic assessment. You will then be given your first adjustments in our office. Prior to adjusting, during follow-up visits, you may receive manual or instrument assisted muscle work, heat Rocktape, or rehabilitation exercises to help relieve symptoms and achieve optimal wellness.
THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE
The Webster technique is a set of gentle chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue releases that help reduce tension in order to optimize function of the pelvis. This technique is used on pregnant women, postpartum women, women who experience painful menstruation, and men with pelvic/groin pain. This is most commonly used during pregnancy when a woman's body releases a hormone called relaxin to allow the necessary changes needed for carrying and birthing a baby. This hormone causes the mother's ligaments to "relax" and thus introduces excess instability throughout her body. The Webster technique helps maintain optimal pelvic function throughout pregnancy and can be used throughout the entire pregnancy to reduce discomfort, help with pubic symphysis dysfunction, and may even contribute to reduced discomfort during labor.
PEDIATRICS
Chiropractic care for infants and children is very gentle, involving very little pressure and is often more of a vibratory sensation. Many people are hesitant when it comes to chiropractic care for babies and children but I assure you this practice is worthwhile. Kids respond so rapidly and so well to care that parents often wonder why they didn't try chiropractic sooner!
