Chiropractic Care
From Conception through Adulthood
We’re so glad you’re here
What is Chiropractic?
The bodies innate intelligence uses millions of processes to help you to adapt to the environment and keep you alive and thriving…
This is regulated by the brain and spinal cord (the Nervous System). A healthy Nervous System ensures that every process can happen in the right way at the right time leading to optimal functioning of our bodies.
Increased connection and better function means that your body is able to heal and recover in its most natural way.
A Chiropractor is a health-care professional that focuses on the spine and other joints of the body, and their connection to the Nervous System. The word “chiropractic” means “to be done by hand.” Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and movement.
With focus being on family care, our Chiropractors are happy to answer any questions you may have relating to health, wellness, baby niggles, pregnancy discomfort, birth goals, post natal care and childhood milestones.

Who we can help?
Pregnancy Care
- Relief from Back and Neck pain
- Relief from Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction
- Relief from Hip pain
- Faster Recovery
- Easier Labour and Delivery
Whether it is your first or your third child, you and your body have gone through many extraordinary changes during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can assist in alleviating some of the common aches like headaches, heartburn and lower back/hip pain. A benefit of working with a Webster Certified Chiropractor ensures proper pelvic alignment to create more space for your baby, thus allowing the opportunity of a smooth, natural labour.
During pregnancy, the body expands and opens, due to the ligament laxity. Once postpartum, we want to make sure your spinal structure is sound in supporting your body while everything is coming back together, so you can get back to feeling your best, pre-pregnancy self. We also emphasize on pre-partum and post-partum ergonomics needed to further support you through these changes.
We say to our preggie patients, “You don’t get less pregnant each time we see you, but we walk the journey with you whilst ensuring pain/discomfort management, but most importantly we work together to ensure you have the birth you desire.”
Newborns, babies and children (our favourite)
- Relief from Colic & Reflux
- Relief from Constipation
- Improves Winding Difficulties
- Improves Cramping
- Improves Latching difficulties
Gentle Chiropractic adjustments for babies can assist to naturally treat conditions like colic, constipation, reflux and ear infections, as well as help prevent your child from getting sick, by boosting their immune system. Chiropractic adjustments can support the alignment of the vertebral and cranial bones in infancy, which supports correct latching and digestion. We offer an extensive range of winding, and gassy baby techniques in our consultations. We also educate you on the importance of the famous ‘fourth trimester’, and how to best navigate this very important stage. From about four months of age, we deal very closely with the importance of developmental milestones during their first year. (Rolling, crawling and weight-bearing)
During childhood, regular adjustments can help children adapt and grow through all of life’s bumps and falls. Afterall – how many times a day do our littlies fall on their bums during the walking milestone?
Childhood Chiropractic care has been shown to improve learning difficulties, delayed milestones and support well-rounded children.

I would recommend any mommy that has the same issues to go for a few sessions. It has made a world of difference, and i have only been to one session so far, i felt the relief immediately.
Great Practice extremely friendly and accommodating.
