supporting your body through every season of motherhood.
Services
Our bodies can change quickly depending on our season of life. During pregnancy there are changes structurally, hormonally, emotionally, and neurologically. In infancy, there is rapid growth and learning, along with patterns and stressors from the womb and delivery. Chiropractic care supports these changes by improving joint motion, decreasing tension, and helping the nervous system regulate more effectively.
Below is an overview of how Dr. Melanie cares for each population, all with gentle, specific adjustments tailored to the individual.
prenatal Care
Pregnancy is a season of profound structural and physiological change. As relaxin increases and your center of gravity shifts, the pelvis and spine must adapt to new movement patterns. Dr Melanie uses a technique called Webster, which focuses on the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments - all of which are rapidly changing as your body works hard at creating life. Releasing tension in this area through adjustments and soft tissue work can help maintain balanced pelvic motion, support comfort, and encourage optimal space for baby.
Prenatal care may support:
Pelvic balance and alignment
Comfort as your body grows and changes
Pubic symphysis pain
Nervous system regulation
Stress and tension patterns
Sleep and rest
More ease in daily movement
My adjustments during pregnancy are precise and gentle, always honoring the natural changes your body is designed to make. Dr Melanie is well-trained in safe and effective techniques, including Webster technique, to help support you during this time!
postpartum Care
After delivery, your body begins recalibrating and adjusting to the demands of motherhood. Hormones shift rapidly, your posture and movement patterns adapt to feeding and holding baby, and your nervous system is processing a significant amount of change.
Chiropractic care postpartum supports this transition by improving spinal and pelvic motion, calming the nervous system, and helping the body find a sense of steadiness.
Postpartum care may support:
Pelvic and spinal recovery
Hormonal regulation through improved nervous system function
Neck, shoulder, and low back tension from feeding and carrying
Stress responses and emotional regulation
Restoring balanced movement patterns
pediatric Care
A baby’s nervous system develops rapidly in the first year of life. Their spine, cranial bones, and movement patterns all influence how they eat, sleep, digest, and interact with the world.
Pediatric chiropractic uses extremely gentle pressure — about the amount you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe — to reduce tension patterns and support healthy neurological function. This supports your kiddos as they continue growing, adapting and learning about the world around them.
Pediatric care may support:
Feeding comfort
Latch mechanics
Torticollis
Digestive comfort - including colic and reflux
Sleep regulation
Developmental milestones
General ease and relaxation
