Special Tables
We have special tables that open up at the tummy to allow extra room for the little one. Our Chiropractic tables are designed to grow with you through all three stages of pregnancy and allow for more freedom and comfort for optimal care.
Special Pillows
Soft pillows and cushions have been designed so you can lie face down! Often the breasts and stomach are very tender for a pregnant woman and these supports can make a huge difference in comfort. And, yes, we have different supports to help you at every month of pregnancy, from month one to month ten.

Our Chiropractic doctors are licensed in the Webster Technique, which means they specialize in aligning bones before, during and after pregnancy. When the pelvis is out of alignment, a variety of symptoms can occur. Chiropractic is holistic, gentle and works with your body the way it was designed to function. Chiropractic also works well in conjunction with your obstetrician, doula or midwife.
After the Baby is Born
Pregnancy is an exciting time full of discovery and miracles, which continues through your baby's arrival and growth. These exciting changes can have some challenges too and we're here to support you. Even the most perfect birth can be a little traumatic for baby and mom. Healing? Recovery? Whatever your goals, we can help.
Welcome to the World
We offer a "Welcome to the World" visit after your baby is born. This visit can be a huge help for baby, who's learning the ropes of life. Sometimes baby's bones are not aligned after even the most gentle birth. This can make nursing almost impossible and digestion uncomfortable. Learn what our doctors can do to support your new one throughout development.
We'd love to speak with you!
