Pregnancy & Pediatric Chiropractic at Houtz Chiropractic Center
Gentle chiropractic care offers unique benefits for both expecting mothers and children of all ages. Dr. Houtz uses special techniques that support patients through critical developmental stages and life changes. Our office welcomes your entire family, creating positive healthcare experiences from the very beginning.
A More Comfortable Experience With Our Prenatal Services
Pregnancy creates significant changes in a woman’s body as it adapts to nurture new life. The Webster Technique, which Dr. Houtz is trained in, focuses on balancing the pelvis and reducing stress on the uterus. This gentle approach helps create more room for the baby to develop and move freely.
Many women report decreased back pain, improved comfort, and easier labor after receiving chiropractic care. Our adjusting tables accommodate the mom’s belly all the way through the ninth month, ensuring comfort during every visit.
The Importance of Infant Care
The birth process, while natural, can be physically demanding for both mother and baby. Even in uncomplicated deliveries, an infant’s delicate spine may experience stress. Early chiropractic checks can identify and address potential issues before they affect development.
Adjustments for infants are incredibly gentle—about the pressure you’d use to touch an eyeball. Many babies sleep right through their adjustments. After adjustment, parents often notice improvements in several areas like sleep, digestion, nursing, and reduced colic.
Extra Attention for Young Spines
As children grow, they encounter new physical challenges: learning to crawl, taking their first steps, playground tumbles, and eventually, sports activities. Each stage introduces new stresses to developing spines.
Our special “choo-choo train” adjusting table makes visits fun rather than frightening. Children typically love their appointments and see them as a positive experience. We’ve created an environment where healthcare feels like an adventure.
Providing Several Benefits For Children
Parents often bring their children to us for help with ear infections, digestive issues, sleep troubles, and improved immune function. Our young patients respond remarkably fast to chiropractic care.
Their bodies haven’t had years to develop compensation patterns, allowing for faster resolution of issues. Many parents are amazed at the positive changes they observe in their children’s health.
