Family wellness is extremely critical to Dr. Brad. Starting kids off healthy from their first breath, and even before birth, sets them up for better lives as adults.
“Everyone was warm and welcoming, the office was clean and inviting. I love the back room for kids and parents! It is beautiful but as a new mom, great to see businesses giving warm convenient places to nurse and change babies.”

Pregnancy Care
Dr. Brad encourages women to receive chiropractic care during their pregnancies.
As the body changes during pregnancy, so do an expectant mother’s needs. Dr. Brad will make your adjustments as easy and comfortable as possible. Spinal tables with pelvic drops help create additional room for growing abdomens. Special pillows and other tools help release muscle tension and make mom more comfortable.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy offers a range of benefits by helping to manage the physical changes that occur as the body adapts to carrying a growing baby. As the belly expands, the spine and pelvis shift to accommodate the extra weight, often leading to back pain, pelvic discomfort, and postural imbalances. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and pelvis, reducing strain on the muscles and joints. This can improve mobility, alleviate pain, and contribute to a more comfortable pregnancy experience.
Proper pelvic alignment is especially important for creating an optimal environment for the baby to move and grow. When the pelvis is misaligned, it can limit space in the uterus, which may affect the baby’s positioning as the due date approaches. Chiropractic care can help maintain balance in the pelvic region, encouraging better alignment for both the mother and baby. This can contribute to a smoother labor process by allowing the baby to move into the best possible position for birth.
Beyond physical alignment, chiropractic care supports overall wellness during pregnancy by improving nervous system function and reducing stress on the body. Many women find that regular adjustments help with common pregnancy symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and joint discomfort. Since chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach, it provides a safe way to manage discomfort without relying on medications. As with any healthcare decision during pregnancy, it’s always best to consult with a qualified provider to ensure chiropractic care is a good fit for individual needs.
Pediatric Care
We recommend our moms to bring their newborns to the office for evaluation soon after birth.
Chiropractic care for newborns and young children helps support their overall growth and development by ensuring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function. The birthing process can sometimes create stress on a baby’s spine, which may affect their comfort and ability to move freely. Gentle chiropractic adjustments, specifically designed for infants, can help restore balance in their tiny bodies, promoting better mobility and overall well-being. Parents often find that their babies respond positively to these gentle techniques, which can contribute to a more relaxed and content infant.
As children grow, they go through various developmental stages, including learning to sit, crawl, and walk. These milestones involve many tumbles and falls that can place stress on the spine and joints. Regular chiropractic check-ups can help maintain proper alignment, supporting better posture, coordination, and balance. Ensuring that a child’s spine is aligned properly can also promote better movement patterns, which may contribute to improved comfort and ease as they explore their environment.
For young kids, chiropractic care offers a natural way to support their physical development without the use of medications or invasive procedures. Since children are highly active and constantly moving, maintaining spinal health can help them feel more at ease and adaptable to their surroundings. Gentle adjustments tailored to their growing bodies can contribute to overall comfort and well-being, helping them thrive as they continue to grow and develop.
Spinal adjustments can help adolescents with balance and mobility as they learn new activities and sports.
