Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. Dr. Andrews uses the Webster’s Technique, a gentle, prenatal specific adjustment. There is no “cracking” of the joints (a common follow up question. If you are experiencing any complications during your pregnancy, you must get an approval from your Physician, OBGYN or midwife prior to beginning care.

How much does it cost?

Cost can vary. We are in-network with most major medical insurance providers, and we also have cash rates available. Give us a call for a free consultation.

Why do I need to receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy?

Our bodies undergo many changes with pregnancy. Some of these changes include growing belly causing an increase in low back curve, postural adaptations and pelvis transformation. In a perfect world, we would lift properly, have perfect posture and get plenty of rest. Since this is highly unlikely, Chiropractic care allows us to achieve balance.

Are all chiropractors able to treat pregnant women?

All chiropractors are able to treat pregnant patients, as most have received some training in school. We highly recommend going to one that is Webster Certified — the advanced prenatal training. If you are not in our area, you can find one at https://icpa4kids.com/find-a-pediatric-chiropractor/

Will you treat male patients as well?

Yes! We can treat the whole family.

Does ccupuncture hurt?

The needles used when performing acupuncture are very thin, like a cat’s whisker. Most people will not even feel the needle being inserted.

No ’Popping’ Chiropractic Treatment Options

Feb 22

Written By Michelle Andrews, D.C.

A barrier we often hear when asking why someone has not seen a chiropractor is “I don’t want any popping”. We had several options that do not involve “popping” whether you are not a candidate for a traditional chiropractic adjustment or if it is just not your thing.

1. Instrument assisted soft tissue therapy. Though the instrument itself may look a little scary, it is very effective in treating myofascial conditions with very little to no discomfort in the process.

2. Kinesiotaping is a method used to aid in pain relief, support and lymphatic drainage. This is great for acute and chronic injuries. It is also very popular with our pregnant moms for support with their changing bodies.

3. Instrument assisted adjustment/ activator method. This instrument provides low force impulses to targeted areas via a spring loaded tool.

4. Acupuncture is a treatment where thin, sterile needles penetrate the skin at specific points to aid various conditions.
