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.

For most women, we get the dreaded visit from Aunt Flo once a month. We all dread her and know she wrecks havoc on our lives causing pain, fatigue, ruining underwear and the list goes on. But when do you need to quit “toughing it out” and make an appointment with your OBGYN or midwife? Please contact your provider if you are experiencing:

Polymenorrhea or periods lasting shorter than 21 days apart.
Oligomenorrhea or periods occurring more than 35 days apart.
Periods that have always been regular then become irregular spontaneously
Periods lasting longer than 7 days
Bleeding between cycles
Dysmenorrhea or excessive pain, cramping, nausea or vomiting during your period.
Excessive bleeding- requiring multiple tampon/ sanitary pads throughout the night or requiring multiple tampons/sanitary pads within an hour over the course of several hours
Postmenopausal bleeding
Bleeding after sex

Period discomforts and abnormalities are not normal but very COMMON. Please contact your provider with any concerns that you may have.
