- 11Yes you can. Getting adjusted during pregnancy is one of the most important times to get checked. Considering all of the hormonal, emotional, physical, spiritual and physiological stresses that occur during these amazing 9 months, making sure you are as healthy as possible is essential. Remember, the design, development and delivery of a baby is all neurologically controlled and optimizing the nervous system is the focus of Chiropractic care. Our Doctors also have training in Webster’s technique, which is specifically designed to help balance the mother’s pelvis and spine for delivery.
- 12Definitely! Chiropractic care has been proven to be a gentle, safe, effective and clinically successful option for children’s health. If there are spinal misalignments, structural imbalances or dysfunctions in a child’s nervous system chiropractic care can possibly help.

- 14Yes! If you choose, chiropractic care can be a healthy lifestyle choice. Whether you feel symptoms or not, there is no ceiling for how well your nervous system can perform.

- 15Our Doctors will frequently obtain X-rays to determine, guide and explain your care. Although they are not always necessary, their benefit is very apparent in establishing the underlying cause of your health concerns, determining a more accurate protocol of care and to create an awareness around any other possible hidden health issues. X-rays are not typically performed on pregnant women and children. Images these days are taken at very high speeds so they are not deemed as unsafe versus their benefit. As far as radiation exposure, the typical views that our Doctors obtain have been compared to being in the sun for 10 minutes.
