Pregnancy Care                

Pregnancy is a fundamental time in a women's life.  It can and should be an enjoyable and vibrant experience.  If we stop and consider all the changes that happen to a women’s body when pregnant: expanded belly and weight gain, change in hormones, increased curve in the low back, increased blood volume, change in bowel and bladder habits, to name a few.  It isn’t hard to imagine that some of these changes can have an impact on your spinal health. 

One of the best things you can do for yourself when pregnant is to get regular chiropractic adjustments! Chiropractic care is very gentle and completely safe during pregnancy.  It’s simply about inducing motion into segments and in turn removing the stress and tension from the spine and pelvis.  There are so many benefits that chiropractic care can provide for pregnant women.  It helps diminish common pregnancy symptoms such as heart burn, low back pain and general aches and pains.  One of the most important benefits is that it allows the baby to get in the best possible position for birth-which is key to having an ideal labour and delivery.  Plus studies show that regular chiropractic adjustments throughout pregnancy can reduce the time of labour and delivery by as much as 30%!  Now who doesn’t want that?! 

Pediatric Care

Dr. Lindsay is very passionate about checking and adjusting children.  If we think about all the things that a growing baby and toddler are doing in their first few years of life it's not hard to imagine why this time is so critical to having a balanced spine and nervous system.  The birth process in itself is a dramatic event for both mom and baby .  Then as  a child grows they are learning how to hold  their head up, crawl, walk and run. All of these events can be stressful on a developing spine.  The first few years are foundational for children in terms of who they will grow up to be.  Having a healthy, balanced spine is key to allowing a child to maximize their full potential.  Plus getting regular spinal adjustments has a multitude of benefits , like boosting the immune system, helping prevent ear infections and ensuring breast feeding is optimal.  

Family Care

Chiropractic care is a family affair.  Its not just for mom's and babies but for dad's, toddlers, teenagers and grandparents too!  Anyone who has a spine should be checked.  Some of my favourite patients are those with no complaints.  It's about bringing more balance, reducing tension and giving the body and nervous system everything it needs to function optimally.
