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.

What Empowered Care Means For The Modern Woman?

Advances in Modern Medicine are fascinating. It also sheds light on where we as the medical community at large need to make adjustments and continually progress. Information is constantly evolving and with all this new information coming out we have learned that modern medicine and holistic approaches do not operate independently of each but instead work hand in hand. Stories like the “ice man’ and Dr. Terry Wahls have shifted scientific research studies from taking an isolated traditional medicine or holistic approach to the overall health of our population. Luckily, most of the medical community has been very responsive and diligent in meeting the needs of health. We have seen more collaboration between different medical scopes than we have ever seen before.

One of my favorite examples of utilizing both the traditional medical and holistic approach is when my husband picked up an injury while playing soccer professionally. He had intense pain, numbness and muscle weakness in his leg. The MRI showed a 7mm disc bulge. The initial consult advised he undergo a discectomy surgery as this would allow him to get back on the field quicker. Knowing my husband’s drive, compliance and discipline, I strongly urged that we get a second opinion before he goes under the knife. This then led us down the route of the medical and holistic communities working as a cohesive unit. With the help of epidural injections, chiropractic care and physical therapy he was able to get back on the field quicker and without the surgical removal of part of the disc. He was able to finish out his professional career without any flare ups of the original injury.

I wanted to curate a judgement free, candid space where we can take on traditional, unconventional with a sprinkle of taboo topics. I will share my personal experiences and research. Please feel free to write to me directly with any topics you would wish for me to discuss. My email is info@chiroher.com
