Chiropractic Care
The purpose of a chiropractic treatment is to find areas of your skeleton that are not moving properly and to restore normal movement. When a correction happens along the spine, not only is your structure aligned, but your functioning is improved as well. This is because improper movement of your spine leads to irritation of your nerve roots, which is like having static on a phone line. When your spine is moving properly, your brain is best able to communicate with your body, which leads to improved health in all areas of your body.

Chiropractors most frequently treat "musculo-skeletal" complaints. For example: sore backs, tight muscles, sprains and strains, headaches, and repetitive stress injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or tendonitis. Many people begin treatment for problems like these, but end up finding relief from other conditions such as asthma, allergies, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, and fatigue conditions because their nervous system becomes "tuned-up."

Pregnancy Care and Newborn Care
Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy is a natural and miraculous condition. And sometimes it’s uncomfortable! As a chiropractor, I safely treat many of the complaints that commonly occur during pregnancy, such as back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Webster Technique, a pregnancy-specific form of chiropractic care, can prevent breech position by increasing room for the baby and the uterus. Using the Webster Technique, the pelvis is aligned and the ligaments relaxed so that you and your baby have the most possible room. This encourages a breech baby to shift to the optimum birth position and enhances the comfort of an already properly positioned baby.

Post-Partum Care
After delivery, the hormone relaxin is still making ligaments soft. This increases your vulnerability to lower back and pelvic joint misalignment and pain. The body usually heals itself after pregnancy but when treatment is necessary, it is easily accomplished at this time because of your body's increased pliability.

Baby Care
CranioSacral Therapy is a subtle, profound, and painless bodywork technique that treats babies who have had traumatic births, colic, or who have difficulty nursing. For more information, please see FAQs.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle healing technique that involves placing my hands on the patient's body with a very light touch. Over the course of an hour, I sense the subtle rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that permeates, via connective tissue, every part of your body.

Most people find treatment to be deeply relaxing and sometimes they fall asleep. While awake, you may feel as though your body is “talking” to my hands, that parts of your body are moving under my touch, or perhaps nothing at all.

The result of treatment is that your nervous system is freed of restrictions and therefore able to perform at its optimum level. Shock from past physical or emotional traumas may be “held” in the connective tissues and when treated, your body may start to release residual tension. You may even experience visions, feelings or memories as the connective tissues release old patterns and stored energy. This natural reaction allows for complete healing inside the nurturing and safe space of CST.
