Functional Chiropractic

Movement is Life.
Life is Movement.

The human body works best when the spinal and extremity joints are moving properly, and their muscles are in the right balance. Maintaining proper spinal and joint mobility are the key to performing daily tasks and activities without pain, limitation, and injury.  Finding and removing the root cause of pain and symptoms are what Functional Chiropractic is all about.

Chiropractic Care for Children

“Chiropractic is a safe, natural and effective approach to healthcare for children.”

Dr. Trish

As your child grows and develops, they experience a multitude of traumas and injuries.  Spinal misalignments are inevitable and quite common.  The most damaging, modern day “micro” trauma is Tech Neck. Neck misalignment, in the form of forward head posture and rounded shoulders, is perhaps the most common presenting complaint in our pediatric population.  Excessive usage of tech devices and video gaming has created epidemic spinal and nervous system stress. We encourage all parents to have their children cared for now to prevent health problems down the road from this repetitive wear and tear. Over 27 years, we have seen firsthand the benefits of chiropractic care for children.

The following pediatric conditions are often associated with improper spinal alignment and unhealthy movement patterns:

  • Poor posture – tech neck is an epidemic
  • Ear infections – we can’t count how many children have avoided having tubes put in their ears!
  • General neck & back pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Scoliosis
  • Immune system support – kids under regular care simply get sick less and miss less school
  • Slow cognitive development – children who have less tension/nerve interference have stronger mental capacity & better neurological function
  • ADD & ADHD
  • Colic & sleeping issues
  • Digestive problems

Chiropractic is an excellent option for parents who naturally want to support their children's health and well-being. Our approach is gentle and safe even for newborns.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

I worked as a pediatric nurse for many years before transitioning to chiropractic practice. I am passionate about assisting mothers and babies in achieving a safe and natural delivery.

Dr. Trish

Being pregnant can be hard on a woman's body because a lot of changes happen in just nine months. These changes can make her body feel uncomfortable and cause problems like back pain. Prenatal care is a way to help her body feel better and deal with these changes.

The benefits of prenatal care include:

  • Ease pregnancy symptoms
  • Shorten labor and delivery time
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduced morning sickness
  • Better pelvic alignment
  • Better fetal position & movement
  • Reduced overall stress therefore better mood

Studies have shown that chiropractic care can reduce back pain by 84%, and also significantly decrease the chances of experiencing back labor. Additionally, regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce overall labor time by 39%! In case the baby is in the wrong position, we can use the Webster Technique, which is a safe and proven alternative. We offer natural and drug-free care for both pregnancy and postpartum, so let us support you during this wonderful journey!
