During all stages of pregnancy, the woman’s body is constantly changing. The musculoskeletal system is adapting daily to the growing baby, and sometimes this can result in symptoms in the low back, pelvic region, neck and mid-back. Chiropractic care and acupuncture is a safe and natural alternative to treating these symptoms during pregnancy, and is an effective way to maintain proper body function during the various stages of pregnancy.
Chiropractic is also safe and effective for treating pediatric conditions such as musculoskeletal complaints, headaches or the new condition, “text-neck!”. Children of all ages are always getting bumps and bruises from being up-and-down, falling and being generally active.. As the saying by Alexander Pope goes, “as the twig is bent, so grows the tree”, meaning that early influences have a permanent effect on us. Bring your family for a chiropractic musculoskeletal evaluation to ensure that they have a strong, healthy foundation.
