Adult Chiropractic
Chiropractic is both a science and an art form. Dr. Becky has attended many continuing education seminars and has all of them to offer you depending on your needs. She works on a drop table for specific manual adjustments and incorporates the use of an arthrostim and myofascial release. Each time you are on the table, your body will have changed and will need something different and Dr. Becky’s experience helps her meet your changing needs.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Dr. Becky is certified in the Webster technique, developed by Dr. Larry Webster for the prenatal care of his own daughters. This protocol balances the pelvis and then releases the round ligaments. The result promotes a greater opportunity for the baby’s neurodevelopment; as well as positioning for birth. This technique is recommended as soon as pregnancy is achieved.
A general recommendation on when to get adjusted during pregnancy is whenever the baby has a growth spurt; or any discomfort in the round ligament area, groin, legs or lower back. If you sit at a desk or stand in place for most of the day, a generalized recommendation would be every two weeks after 24 weeks. If you are having difficulty taking a deep breath or sleeping, don’t hesitate! Every baby deserves to have a happy and balanced mama. Most moms agree that they are in a better mood upon rising from the table and even feel lighter!
Infant and Pediatric Chiropractic Care
The spine is the lifeline of the body and structure = function. If there is any nerve blockage along the spinal cord then a state of disease will develop. Disease causes a generalized weakening of your child’s body which can manifest in your child as a lowered resistance to illnesses such as colic or ear infection as well as hyperactivity or other behavioral disorders.
