Family care
Chiropractic cars has been helping families for years. Many patients view their chiropractic doctor as their family doctor. That’s smart. The cost of surgery is rising. The adverse reaction to drugs receives front-page news.
Families want safe and natural solutions. More and more are choosing chiropractic care first.
Family care for all
Family care can start from the very beginning. Babies can benefit when their pregnant mothers receive chiropractic care. During this period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic care. They often report easier births.
Newborns, infants and children can benefit, too. The birth process can be the cause of our first subluxation!
Then, learning to walk, ride a bike or play sports can produced so-called growing pains. Ignored, these problems may worsen until they can become more difficult to correct as adult.
Car accidents, work injuries, and the stress and strains of our busy lives can produce subluxations.
Seniors enjoying an active retirement stop by our office, too. Safe and natural chiropractic care makes sense. They see how the structure of the spine can affect the nervous system and how their bodies work.
Periodic chiropractic check-ups can be helpful. Many patients report more energy, vitality and better overall health.
Regardless of our age and condition, a better working spine is good for your health. Share your chiropractic experience with others, starting with those you love.
Why do newborns get chiropractic adjustments?
Even today’s natural childbirth methods can affect an infant’s spine. Preliminary studies suggest that colic (1), unusual crying (2), poor appetite (3), ear infections (4) or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal distress.
As a rule, no more pressure that you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato is involved.
Relax. Newborn adjustments are gentle.

Can patients with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. Regardless of your age, size or condition, chiropractic care can be helpful.
The specific needs of each patient are considered.
If yours is not a chiropractic case, we’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist.
Can I get chiropractic care if I’ve had back surgery?
Yes. Your chiropractor will avoid areas of your spine surgically modified.
However, surgery may produce compensation reactions either above or below the involved level. If necessary, these other areas will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
