Getting Started
To determine if chiropractic is right for you, we recommend you speak to your medical doctor to ensure you don’t have any medical complications before starting care with us. We will also provide you with a thorough examination that would uncover any reasons you shouldn’t be adjusted.
During your care, we’ll be extremely gentle. You can lie down on your stomach, thanks to our pregnancy pillows. Our methods include Diversified, Chiropractic BioPhysics® and the Webster Technique. Our goal is to keep you moving, reduce your pain, and improve your function.
We may recommend you come in more often if you’re dealing with a specific problem. We’ll discuss what’s right for you during your initial consultation.
Dr. Amy Is Webster Certified & an ICPA Member
Dr. Amy, passionate about assisting expectant mothers in achieving the healthiest pregnancy possible, provides specialized care for pregnant clients at our clinic. As a certified practitioner of the Webster Technique, she focuses on reducing nervous system stress, balancing pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments, and optimizing pelvic function during pregnancy and childbirth.
The Webster Technique is a chiropractic analysis that involves gentle sacrum adjustments aimed at enhancing nervous system function and body performance. This method works to improve pelvic balance, which in turn reduces unnecessary tension in connected muscles and ligaments.
A balanced pelvis is crucial for pregnant women, as imbalances can lead to uneven pulling on muscles and ligaments, potentially restricting the baby’s ability to assume the optimal birth position. The Webster Technique also helps alleviate low back pain, increase mobility, and provide increased comfort during pregnancy.
In addition to her expertise in the Webster Technique, Dr. Amy is a proud member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). This global organization supports family chiropractors through evidence-based practice, professional skill development, and educational resources for family well-being.
