Frequently asked questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes! Dr. Emma is Webster technique certified, a pregnancy specific technique. She has also had additional training to provide care and support during the prenatal and postpartum periods. Chiropractic care during pregnancy may help to decrease discomfort from pregnancy pains, improve energy levels, and help you sleep better. It may also help to decrease risk of factors that can cause dystocia (prolonged/stalled labor) by balancing the pelvis . Chiropractic care is a valuable asset to your birth team to prepare your body, mind, and nervous system for bringing new life into our world.

Why do babies and children need chiropractic care?

Birth is a huge event! Everything that mama goes through, baby does too. All types of birth; vaginal, provider assisted, instrument assisted, or cesarean can put pressure and stress on the nervous system and developing spine. Early childhood is full of learning, which often means little bumps and bruises. Dr. Emma has had extensive training with pediatric chiropractic and nervous system development. Chiropractic adjustments for infants and young children are like "putting your finger on butter and waiting for it to melt." Infants and young children's bodies are very receptive to change and all bodies want to be well and connected.⁠

I don't have pain, would I benefit from chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is like brushing your teeth, exercising, eating your veggies, or restful sleep, it is something that you do to take care of your body and health. Adjustments help to balance your body, which can ease aches and pains if they are present. Adjustments help to realign your nervous system so that your brain can talk to your body and process the stress you encounter daily. Taking care of your body and your nervous system should be a regular practice, a tool in your tool box of self care, and something you teach your children when showing them how to care for their body and their home.
