Are You Dealing With Prenatal Aches & Pains?

Optimizing Pregnancy Wellness: The Role of Chiropractic Care

Pre, postnatal, and newborn chiropractic care are integral components in supporting the health and well-being of expectant mothers and their infants. Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes, and chiropractic care can play a vital role in alleviating discomfort, maintaining proper alignment, and promoting optimal pelvic positioning for the baby. This proactive approach can contribute to a smoother pregnancy experience, reducing the likelihood of complications and enhancing overall maternal health. By addressing musculoskeletal issues during pregnancy, chiropractic care aims to create a foundation for a healthier delivery process and postpartum recovery.

Empowering Postpartum Recovery: The Impact of Chiropractic Support

Postnatal chiropractic care is equally essential as it supports mothers in recovering from the physical stress of childbirth. After giving birth, women often experience pelvic instability, spinal misalignments, and overall musculoskeletal strain. Chiropractic adjustments during the postpartum period can help realign the spine, alleviate discomfort, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. By focusing on the unique needs of new mothers, postnatal chiropractic care promotes faster recovery, improved mobility, and overall well-being during the critical phase of adjusting to motherhood.

“Joy is very passionate and dedicated to her work. She takes her time with you to make sure she is getting every single misalignment worked out so you go home feeling your absolute best. She has all the proper trainings and experience you would want whether you are an adult, child, infant or pregnant. She has got you covered! She was also the assistant at our home birth, and her nursing background and experience as a doctor of chiropractic was so helpful to us. We plan to keep seeing Joy as a family. We would highly recommend her!”

“I just got home from my initial exam and adjustment. The office was adorable, and I could tell that it was a positive, life-giving environment. Dr. Joy and her assistant were extremely caring and thorough, making sure they assessed everything before going through with the adjustment. Dr. Joy was also able to troubleshoot some things so that I left in better shape than I came in. I look forward to working with her and her team again, and I highly recommend Special Birds Family Chiropractic.”

“My baby and I have been adjusted multiple times. I have seen such a difference in my baby. the few days before adjustment my baby was hard to settle and just crying unless being held. the day after being adjusted she has been calm and sleeping well without much effort to get her to sleep. also they helped with breastfeeding and getting her to latch with adjustments as well. I never knew of this kind of practice was available for babies. I am so glad we found them!”

She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and I felt like we were receiving care above and beyond my expectations. Her adjustments were very gentle and immediately helpful. My son is already in less pain, balancing better, and experiencing better posture. Her rates are quite affordable and fair. I will be using Dr. Joy for the rest of my family!”
