Prenatal and Pediatric Chiropractic Care: Benefits for Expecting Mothers and Children
Prenatal chiropractic care is a natural and safe way to support a woman’s body during pregnancy. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate common discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as back pain, sciatica, and headaches. It can also improve the function of the pelvis, which is crucial for a successful and smooth delivery. Pediatric chiropractic care, on the other hand, is a gentle and effective way to address a range of health concerns in children, from colic and ear infections to scoliosis and growing pains. Regular chiropractic care can help optimize the function of the nervous system and improve overall health, allowing children to grow and develop to their full potential.
What to Expect at Your First Pelvic Floor Therapy Appointment
A good pelvic floor therapist will make you feel comfortable, like you’re chatting with a friend. We spend a lot of time LISTENING. What you say- and how you say it- gives us clues to know how to help. We ask questions about your daily life, what matters to you, and how your symptoms affect what you need & want to do. We won’t lie - pelvic floor therapy is an intimate experience. We ask personal questions because we want to know what will help you get better - what will help you reach your goals. Most other healthcare professionals don’t ask about the details of your bowel and bladder habits, or your sexual experiences, or the way you get in and out of bed. We ask the questions that help us get to the root of your concerns.
5 Tips to Help You Recover From Caesarian (C-Section) Delivery

3 Ways to Train for the Sport of Motherhood
The tasks I have found myself engaged in during Motherhood have been quite different from any previous physical training I have done. Some of them might even be listed as unsafe.
During the postpartum period, a woman is STILL experiencing joint laxity and her core muscles take time to rebound. So we are taking a vulnerable system and applying force. Sounds like a recipe for injury.
