Pediatric and Pregnancy Chiropractic

Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Matters

Throughout pregnancy, your body experiences a series of structural, hormonal, and developmental changes. These changes can affect your posture, your balance, and the alignment of your spine and pelvis. As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, placing additional stress on the lower back, hips, and supporting ligaments. Many expectant mothers experience:

• Lower back pain
• Pelvic discomfort
• Sciatica
• Hip pain
• Round ligament tension
• Postural changes

Our goal at Trueheart Chiropractic is to help your body adapt comfortably to these changes so you can enjoy a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy. We use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to restore balance in the spine and pelvis, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility—helping you feel your best throughout every trimester.

The Webster Technique

Dr. Trueheart is trained in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to support optimal pelvic alignment during pregnancy. This technique focuses on:

• Balancing the pelvis
• Reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments
• Improving nervous system function
• Supporting optimal uterine environment for the baby

When the pelvis is properly aligned, it allows for better movement, improved comfort, and can help promote the ideal position for the baby. The Webster Technique is widely used by prenatal chiropractors because it is gentle, effective, and specifically intended for the unique needs of pregnant patients.

While the Webster Technique is not a method to “turn” a baby, it can help reduce pelvic misalignments and soft-tissue tensions that may restrict the baby’s movement. Many women find relief from pelvic pain, lower-back discomfort, and tightness caused by ligament stress—especially as the baby grows.

Postnatal Care for New Moms

Your body continues to change after delivery. Hormones shift, ligaments stabilize, and new physical demands—such as nursing, carrying, and lack of sleep—can stress your spine and joints. Postnatal chiropractic care can help:

• Reduce back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Improve posture and mobility
• Support pelvic realignment after birth
• Relieve tension from nursing and baby-holding
• Accelerate postpartum recovery

We tailor your care plan based on your delivery experience, your current comfort level, and your health goals as a new mother.

Why Chiropractic Care for Children?

Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults. Every day, more parents choose chiropractic care as a natural, drug-free way to support their child’s overall health and wellness. Children benefit from chiropractic care in many ways, including:

• Improved sleep quality
• Better behavior and mood
• Enhanced immune system function
• Better posture and spinal development
• Improved mobility and coordination
• Reduction in discomfort from growth spurts or sports activities

A child’s growing spine is constantly adapting to new physical, environmental, and emotional stresses. These stresses may include:

• Birth trauma (even in a smooth delivery)
• Tummy time, crawling, walking, or frequent falls
• Heavy backpacks
• Sports activities
• Tech posture (“text neck”)
• Rapid growth phases

These everyday stresses can create misalignments or tension that affect development, posture, and nervous system function. Pediatric chiropractic care helps gently address these issues to support proper growth and overall well-being.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Visit

We understand that every child is unique, and we take the time to make their experience safe, comfortable, and positive.

1. Thorough Health History

We begin with a detailed health history so you can share any concerns, symptoms, or developmental changes you’ve noticed. This helps us understand your child’s individual needs.

2. Gentle, Child-Friendly Examination

Next, we perform a gentle physical examination of your child’s spine, posture, muscles, and nervous system function. Our pediatric assessments are specifically designed for children and are completely safe and non-invasive.

3. Safe & Specialized Adjustments (If Needed)

If an adjustment is recommended, it is done using extremely gentle techniques—often with the same amount of pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Adjustments for infants and kids are different from those used for adults and are tailored specifically to their age, size, and stage of development.

Our Child-Friendly Office Environment

Our entire team loves caring for children, and we strive to make each visit a fun and positive experience. We create a warm, welcoming, stress-free environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel supported.

We believe that starting chiropractic care at a young age can help lay the foundation for a healthier future. Many adult spinal issues actually begin during childhood—we’re here to help address them early and keep your child on the path to lifelong wellness.

We’re always available to answer your questions and help you feel confident and informed about your child’s care.

Restoring the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal

If you’ve never experienced chiropractic care before, you might wonder what it actually involves. At its core, chiropractic focuses on the spine and nervous system, helping your body function exactly as it was designed to. Most people first think of chiropractic as pain relief—but that’s only a small part of what we do.

Your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. When it experiences stress or interference, your body can’t communicate or heal at its best. Through gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments, we help remove that interference so your body can return to its natural state of balance and healing.

At Trueheart Chiropractic, we use a variety of safe, effective, and personalized techniques, including:

• Diversified Technique – A hands-on approach that restores motion and alignment.
• Drop Table Technique – A gentle, comfortable method used with specialized tables.
• Activator Method – A low-force handheld instrument ideal for those who prefer softer adjustments.
• Webster Technique – A specialized method focused on pelvic alignment, especially beneficial for pregnant patients.

These techniques allow us to tailor your care to your comfort level, your health goals, and your unique needs.
