Chiropractic & Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is a great drug-free way to stay healthy, help the body adjust to the ever changing postures as pregnancy progresses, and help ensure a healthy labor and delivery.
Chiropractic Adjustments:
- Help ensure that pelvic bones are properly aligned, possibly facilitating a quicker, easier delivery.
- Re-establish the natural position and mobility of the joints.
- Provide freedom from interference of normal nerve energy which is not only important for the mother, but vital for the development of a healthy baby.
Dr. Joaquin has over 15 years of experience in adjusting pregnant women, and has even adjusted women while they were in labor. The type of adjusting table used in our office is extremely comfortable as it is adjustable for the growing belly.

Children and Chiropractic
Many people are surprised when they hear of chiropractic for infants and children. "Babies have back pain?" they ask. However, chiropractic isn't just about back pain. It's very important to have your little one's spine checked for nerve interference, caused by vertebral subluxations. This nerve interference can cause many problems -- ones that may not show up for several years. Subluxations do not necessarily cause symptoms in a young child, but if your baby suffers from colic, constipation, or has had a traumatic birth, they should receive a chiropractic examination. Chiropractic checkups are easy, painless, and very affordable.
With his experience in treating newborns, toddlers, tweens and teens, Dr. Joaquin understands the unique needs of each age group. Many of the children that have come to our office have become life-long wellness patients who understand the relationship between spinal health and staying well, and some are even bringing their own children in for their adjustments. If you'd like more information about chiropractic care for your child, please contact our office.
