Preconception Care
We want you and your baby to flourish – both inside and out. Preconception care in a chiropractic setting focuses on creating an optimal internal environment and natural support for you in preparation for conception.
A chiropractic plan can include screenings so that your body is nutritionally supported for your baby’s development; setting up a program of adjustments to correct any underlying imbalances; or creating your own set of goals that will provide a nourishing environment ideal for conception and the health of both the mother and the child-to-be.

Prenatal Chiropractic
When it comes to a wellness approach, there may be no better time to start than a pregnancy. The path that mothers-to-be follow in the beginning will affect the overall health of themselves and their babies in the long term.
Our chiropractor knows this is a time of many changes, both physically and emotionally. Before the day of delivery, a mother’s spine and pelvis undergo many changes to compensate for a growing baby; the risks of nerve function interference increases. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be a gentle way to support comfort, mobility, and musculoskeletal function as your body changes throughout pregnancy. We tailor care to each woman and her stage of pregnancy, with the goal of helping you feel supported and comfortable as your body adapts.
Dr. Whitney is trained in the Webster Technique, a chiropractic technique commonly used during pregnancy to address musculoskeletal and pelvic factors and support comfort and function.
Pregnancy brings significant changes to posture, balance, joints, and the muscles supporting the pelvis and spine. Care is individualized based on your comfort, stage of pregnancy, and specific needs.
Our goal is to support the whole family throughout the transition into parenthood. After birth, gentle chiropractic care may be considered for infants and children as part of an individualized wellness approach.
We encourage parents to discuss any concerns about their baby's health, feeding, development, or comfort with their pediatrician or other appropriate healthcare provider. Chiropractic care can be complementary to—not a replacement for—regular pediatric care.
If you have any questions on how you would benefit from chiropractic care both during your pregnancy and after delivery, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to assist you through this journey…and beyond!
