Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Dr. Christine Cantwell is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and has over 7 years of experience serving pregnant woman. Her technique is incredibly gentle and appropriate during pre-conception, all stages of pregnancy and post-natal. Adjustments are modified for pregnancy and are 100% safe for mom and baby. We offer natural, drug-free ways to address common pregnancy symptoms such as low back, pubic bone pain, sciatica, nausea, carpal tunnel, shoulder and mid back pain, and difficulty sleeping.
Most importantly, because the pelvic bones are well aligned and moving freely, and women have a deeper connection to their own body, Dr. Cantwell’s pregnant patients consistently experience safer births with greater ease and less complications. We offer Complimentary Pelvic Alignment Check-ups for all pregnant moms, because we want all mothers to be optimally prepared for the experience of birth.
Infant Chiropractic Care
Very gentle adjustments of your infant’s spinal system, lead to greater ease and full expression of your child’s health.
Even the most ‘natural birth’ puts enormous stress on an infant’s cranial bones, upper neck vertebrae, and spinal cord. Trauma and nerve interference in these areas, when unaddressed can create imbalanced movement patterns that can last a life time. Our non-invasive Digital Nerve Scan technology, detects areas of imbalance in an infant’s spinal system. Using very gentle and precise touch, our chiropractic methods release holding patterns in an infant’s spine, allowing for full expression of their birthright of good health. Many parents who’s children are experiencing difficulty with breastfeeding, colic, elimination, or sleeping find positive results for their child with chiropractic care. Because children are so adaptable and flexible, results are generally seen within a minimum number of sessions.
About Bio Geometric Integration:
To achieve balance and sustainable healing in the body, I use a holistic approach called Bio Geometric Integration (BGI): a combination of light touches and deeper adjustments to release tension patterns that have accumulated over time in the body. BGI focuses on locating your body’s inherent strengths and reconnecting the whole through breath and subtle movements – building energy and potential for release, rather than focusing only on the “dis-stressed” part.
During pregnancy, the hormonal, emotional, and spiritual changes allow women to tap into the natural rhythms of the body and there is an opportunity to integrate tension patterns from throughout their life, including as far back as their own birth. Truly, there is an opportunity to heal and transform generational patterns and bring healing and completion to the circle of Life.
