Pregnancy Chiropractor

We believe Healthy pregnancies lead to healthy babies. Form Fitness offers Maternity and Prenatal Chiropractor services.

What sorts of issues can prenatal and pregnancy chiropractic care address?

  • Lower back, hip pain, or sciatica
  • Morning sickness/nausea, lightheadedness, and vertigo
  • Round ligament pain
  • Digestion issues (acid reflux, bloating, indigestion, and constipation)
  • Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
  • Increased stress, fatigue, or anxiety

While these may seem common, it is never normal to hurt. Chiropractic adjustments before, during, and even after pregnancy can help mom manage her stress levels so she and baby can enjoy a healthy, connected birth and bonding together.

What are the benefits of being adjusted during pregnancy?

  • Improved posture, support, and breathing
  • Relief from nausea and dizziness
  • Better energy for exercise, and better balance
  • Increased and more regular digestion
  • More sleep, less restlessness
  • Reduced tension, stress, and pain overall

Adjustments are gentle and specific for your needs at every phase of pregnancy. We use specialized pillows that support mom’s body safely and comfortably, instrument adjusting, and advanced training in pregnancy ease your body into all the exciting changes pregnancy brings.

Pediatric Chiropractor

Why should newborns and infants get adjusted?

It isn’t back pain. Many of our youngest patients are brought to the chiropractor because mom notices things like:

  • Sleep Issues, arching the back, and colic
  • Spitting up after feeding (reflux), constipation, nursing issues, and digestion trouble
  • Ear infections, respiratory issues, and sinus problems
  • Asthma, allergies, eczema and other immune disorders

Many newborns and infants have stress on the nervous system, causing a “fight or flight” mode from the start, and chiropractic care can help them get back to the “rest and digest” mode.

We offer specific pediatric chiropractic care tailored to each child which addresses the stress on the nervous system- the root cause of many of life’s early health challenges. These symptoms can be addressed by keeping the nervous system in a state of ease.

Is it safe for infants?

Yes! Chiropractic is completely safe for newborns, and it’s not uncommon to adjust babies who are days, hours, or even just minutes old!

Infant and pediatric chiropractic adjustments look quite different from adult adjustments. We have special training in working with pregnant mothers and pediatric patients. Because chiropractic is not a “one size fits all” approach, each pediatric adjustment is unique. These are often so gentle, most babies sleep through their adjustment and wake up feeling more calm and relaxed than before.

What Do Most Parents Observe Post-Adjustment?

After the adjustment, many babies will nurse and fill a diaper before dropping off into an amazing nap. Kids usually seem more calm and focused, as their nervous systems reset to baseline. The “side-effects” of the adjustment are all positive, since the adjustment adds nothing in or takes nothing away from the body, just helps to organize and orient things more efficiently.

Most of our young patients are experiencing chiropractic for the first time ever. They usually have lots of questions, so always feel free to ask!
