Chiropractic FAQ

Chiropractic care can be a great solution for a variety of pregnancy issues. Chiropractic care can offer pregnancy-safe pain relief for issues like sciatica, headaches and pelvic pain. Prenatal chiropractic can also serve as a natural pregnancy heartburn remedy. Pregnancy chiropractic can even help you prepare for a natural birth, help with preparing your body to make space for turning a breech baby or help jump start labor naturally.

At Everwell Family Chiropractic, we are committed to helping our patients have a better pregnancy and delivery, through quality and compassionate chiropractic care and a focus on wellness. Our Webster Certified chiropractors act as your pregnancy coach, helping you prepare for labor and helping your body feel better throughout your pregnancy.

Both prenatal massage and prenatal chiropractor services can be important parts of your pregnancy and can serve as forms of pregnancy-safe pain relief. But they are different.While prenatal massage focuses on your body’s musculoskeletal system, prenatal chiropractors are focused on your body’s nervous system. When used together, prenatal massage and prenatal chiropractic care give you and your body the support it needs to experience a happier and healthier pregnancy.

At Everwell Family Chiropractic, we offer both prenatal chiropractic services and pregnancy massage in one place, making your pregnancy care simple. We are also Webster Certified chiropractors, so you can feel confident we are ready to help you feel better in your pregnancy.

Absolutely! While there are never any guarantees with labor and delivery, regularly seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy can help prepare your body for the work of birth. It can help get your pelvic bones and spine in alignment, ensuring the baby is able to move into a birthing position. Many patients also use chiropractic for breech babies. We don’t actually do the turning of a breech baby, we help your body be in the best possible position for your body and your baby--thus allowing your baby to move into their best position.

At Everwell Family Chiropractic, both Dr. Michaela and Dr. Zoe are trained in pregnancy chiropractic care and love working with expectant mothers to make their pregnancy and birth more enjoyable. Dr. Michaela is also Spinning Babies certified and loves helping patients learn how to turn a breech baby naturally.

Move over, spicy foods! Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to help your body get ready for labor. We have found that when our patients regularly receive chiropractic care during pregnancy, their bodies are more ready for labor and delivery. If labor has not yet started, a prenatal chiropractic adjustment could be just what you need to jump start labor naturally.

But at the end of the day, babies are born when they - and your body - are ready. We love working with our patients to help them understand the birthing process and to advocate for a natural birth when induction and other interventions are not medically necessary.

Of course! Like any of our new patients, a prenatal chiropractic patient starts their journey with an initial assessment. You and your doctor will discuss your medical history and pregnancy details, and the doctor will perform a physical exam to ensure you’re a good fit for chiropractic while pregnant. Once the examination is complete, you’ll get personalized treatment recommendations and a treatment schedule. From there, you’ll schedule your appointments as often as recommended, or more if needed. If your needs change during your pregnancy, your treatment plan can always be adjusted!

There are almost too many to count! Whether you’re searching for natural remedies for reflux in babies, are struggling to overcome a birth injury in a newborn or need support for breastfeeding issues, chiropractors can help.

At Everwell Family Chiropractic, we’ve seen infants as young as four hours old. Newborns - just like their mothers - have gone through a tremendous physical experience during birth. Many newborns experience some type of birth injury or may have physical challenges due to the way they were positioned in utero. If your newborn is struggling with reflux, feeding issues, colic or sleep, newborn chiropractic care could help.

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is very safe for patients of any age. It’s important to remember that adjustments are not one-size-fits-all. Not only do we tweak adjustments based on a patient’s age, we also ensure we’re providing the exact care each patient needs for their individual needs.

This is one of the most common questions we get from new parents. Never fear - we won’t be placing your newborn on an adjustment table and putting our weight onto their tiny backs! In fact, the pressure used in a newborn chiropractic adjustment is more like that which you might use to inspect produce at the grocery store than it is like that of an adult chiropractic adjustment.

Many times, our youngest patients stay asleep throughout their entire adjustment. Other times, we perform adjustments while our newborn patients are nursing.

Infant chiropractic care can help relieve many common issues for newborns, including reflux, sleep issues and feeding issues. Many of our patients seek infant chiropractic care for reflux, while others seek infant chiropractic breastfeeding support. Many others see a newborn chiropractor for gas. Infant chiropractic torticollis treatments are also very common.

Definitely! Many newborns struggle with breastfeeding due to a tongue tie or lip tie. Many others may have trouble eating on one side due to neck issues or birth injury. No matter what breastfeeding challenges you’re facing, seeing a chiropractor while breastfeeding can help.

At Everwell Family Chiropractic we specialize in offering breastfeeding support and feeding support post-tongue and lip-tie revision. If you’re having trouble breastfeeding, contact us to get started with infant chiropractic care today.
