Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be beneficial for the normal physiological function of the mother and baby. During pregnancy, chiropractic care focuses on alignment and balance in the musculoskeletal structures of the pelvis. Proper pelvic alignment helps the mother have an easier pregnancy and can also ease the birth process! This is done through the Webster technique, which Dr Calahan has been certified in since 2014. This also translate postnatally to mother and baby. Chiropractic care can help with pelvic alignment, as well as posture for nursing and holding babe.

Dr. Daniel is certified in the Webster Technique by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. This is a gentle method of adjusting mom's pelvis in order to reduce uterine constraint and allow the baby to move freely into the best position possible to allow for a gentler and safer birth.
If there is structural harmony, growth and development are effortless, mom is better able to adapt to her changing body, and pregnancy is much more enjoyable.
Chiropractic care immediately after birth and thereafter helps the family to express more of your health potential. Pediatric care involves gentle, specialized techniques for the tiniest of newborns throughout all stages of childhood to create higher levels of health expression.
