Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it also brings rapid physical and hormonal changes that can place extra stress on the body. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, your ligaments become more relaxed, and your pelvis and spine continually adapt to make room for your growing baby. These changes can contribute to low back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, hip pain, rib pain, and other common pregnancy-related aches.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting your body's natural ability to adapt to these changes. Gentle, pregnancy-specific adjustments can help improve joint mobility, reduce tension, and encourage balanced movement throughout the spine and pelvis—helping you stay as comfortable and active as possible throughout your pregnancy.

At Broadneck Family Chiropractic, our goal is to support both mom and baby by creating an environment where your body can function at its best during every stage of pregnancy.

The Webster Technique

Both Dr. Carrie and Dr. Jenn are Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed specifically for pregnancy. It focuses on improving the function and mobility of the pelvis and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

A balanced, well-functioning pelvis may help your body adapt more comfortably to pregnancy and provide your baby with as much room as possible to move and settle into an ideal position for birth. While the Webster Technique is not a treatment for breech presentation or a method of turning babies, many expecting mothers choose it because it supports pelvic balance and comfort throughout pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is unique, and care is always tailored to your individual needs, stage of pregnancy, and comfort level.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Children's bodies are constantly growing, developing, and adapting. From birth through the teenage years, physical stress from pregnancy, birth, learning to crawl and walk, falls, sports, and everyday activities can influence how the body moves and functions. Gentle chiropractic care is designed to support a healthy, well-functioning nervous system so children can thrive through every stage of development.

At Broadneck Family Chiropractic, we tailor every adjustment to your child's age, size, and comfort level. Pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle and use specific techniques that are safe and appropriate for infants, children, and teens.

Chiropractic Care for Infants

The birth process, while completely natural, can place stress on a baby's spine, neck, and nervous system. Gentle chiropractic care may help improve comfort and mobility while supporting healthy development.

Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns such as:

Difficulty latching or feeding challenges
Colic and excessive fussiness
Reflux and digestive discomfort
Gas and constipation
Torticollis (head-turning preference)
Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)
General tension or body asymmetries
Difficulty settling or sleeping comfortably

Chiropractic Care for Children & Teens

As children grow, their bodies are constantly adapting to school, sports, backpacks, screen time, growth spurts, and everyday play. Chiropractic care can help support healthy movement, posture, and nervous system function throughout these stages.

Families often choose chiropractic care to support children experiencing:

Growing pains and general aches
Sports injuries and injury prevention
Neck and back discomfort
Headaches
Poor posture
Sleep challenges
Bedwetting
Attention and focus concerns
Recovery after falls or injuries
Overall health and wellness

Our goal is to partner with families by providing gentle, individualized care that supports healthy growth, movement, and development. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to function at their best, and we are honored to be part of your family's healthcare journey.

We also believe in a collaborative approach to your child's health. When appropriate, we work alongside your child's pediatrician, lactation consultant, dentist, physical therapist, and other healthcare providers to support your child's overall well-being. Our goal is to complement your child's healthcare team by providing gentle, supportive care focused on movement, development, and nervous system function.

Chiropractic for Adulthood and Aging

Healthy aging isn't about slowing down—it's about continuing to do the things you love with confidence and comfort. As we age, everyday wear and tear, repetitive movements, previous injuries, and changes in joint mobility can make it more difficult to do the things we love. Whether your goal is playing with your grandchildren, enjoying a round of golf, gardening, traveling, or staying active in your community, maintaining good mobility and spinal health is an important part of living well.
