The Webster Technique used during pregnancy helps to balance the pelvic bones. This technique ultimately helps the baby feel less restricted, more comfortable and also supports ideal positioning of the baby in the mother's womb.

It is safe, incredibly gentle, and completely non-invasive. The goal is to help you enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy and prepare your body for a smoother labor and delivery.

7 things worth noticing about your baby:

1. Always looking to the same side
2. Feeding is easier on one side
3. Tummy time is always a struggle
4. Your baby seems to favor one side
5. Your baby frequently arches or stiffens
6. Your baby seems uncomfortable in certain positions

None of these observations tell us why they are happening, but they are indicators that we should ask more questions! These might be your baby's way of communicating with you!

Back to school back to all the germs!

With kids back in the classrooms, sports, and activities, it can feel like sickness is everywhere. Your nervous system and your immune system are closely connected. Research suggests that spinal manipulation may influence certain immune and inflammatory markers in the body. While adjustments aren't a "cure" for sickness or a way to prevent your child from getting sick, supporting a healthy nervous system function is one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to overall wellness.

Here are some tips for staying healthy this school year:

- regular chiropractic adjustments
- getting enough sleep
- staying active / movement
- frequent hand washing

A little about Blaire:
Blaire comes to our team with a background in emergency medicine and a genuine passion for helping and connecting with others.

She is excited to expand her knowledge of holistic health and natural approaches to wellness. Blaire especially loves getting to know people and making them feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for.

Outside of the office, Blaire enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, being outdoors, and always finding something new to learn or experience.

A persistent "favorite side" or head preference is often a baby's way of communicating neck tension or a structural restriction from birth or womb positioning.

Left unaddressed, this tension can lead to flat spots on their head, nursing difficulties, or a very fussy tummy time.

Pediatric Chiropractic care uses incredibly gentle pressure to release this tension so your baby can move, feed, and sleep comfortably.

Things a Pediatric Chiropractor Notices in the First Few Minutes…

Before an adjustment ever happens, there’s already a lot to observe!

šŸ‘¶ How does baby move?
šŸ‘€ Which direction do they naturally look?
šŸ‘ Are they using both sides of their body?
šŸ”„ How do they transition between positions?
šŸŒŽ How do they interact with the world around them?
šŸ’¬ And most importantly… what has Mom or Dad already noticed?

Sometimes, it’s the little things that are worth taking a closer look at.

That’s why pediatric chiropractic care should never be a ā€œone-size-fits-allā€ approach. Every child is different!

Each child deserves to be looked at as an individual with their age, development, history, and unique needs all taken into consideration.

And parents, YOUR observations matter!
You know your child better than anyone.

If something consistently seems different, difficult, or one-sided, don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek appropriate professional guidance.

Sometimes noticing the little things is the first step toward understanding the bigger picture.
