Pregnancy & Pediatric Care
Okanagan Health & Performance
Supporting Health for Growing Families.
Pregnancy and early childhood are periods of rapid physical change. Our Pregnancy & Pediatric Care focuses on supporting the nervous system and musculoskeletal health during these critical stages. By ensuring proper spinal alignment and joint function, we help mothers-to-be manage the physical stresses of pregnancy and provide infants with a healthy foundation for growth and development.
Who We Treat
We provide specialized care for families at every stage, including:
Expectant Mothers
Women looking to relieve pregnancy-related back pain and pelvic discomfort, or optimize pelvic alignment.
Newborns & Infants
Babies dealing with discomfort, latching difficulties, or physical tension that might hinder early developmental milestones.
Growing Children
Toddlers and school-aged kids navigating the "bumps and bruises" of active play and growth spurts.
Our Approach
We understand that treating a pregnant mother or a newborn requires a completely different skill set than treating an athlete. Here is how we approach family care:
- Low-Force Techniques: We use extremely gentle, specialized adjustments designed specifically for the delicate needs of pregnant women and developing children.
- Education for Parents: We give you the tools and knowledge to support their development at home through better ergonomics and movement habits.
What Treatment Looks Like
- The Webster Technique: A specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment used to balance pelvic muscles and ligaments, reducing interference to the nervous system during pregnancy.
- Pediatric Development Checks: Light-touch evaluations to ensure the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally during rapid growth phases.
- Post-Natal Recovery: Helping new mothers regain their strength and alignment after the physical demands of childbirth.
