Pregnancy & Pediatrics

A woman’s body is perfectly designed for pregnancy, though many women experience uncomfortable symptoms like pain, nausea, lack of energy and additional complications. The doctors at Radiant Family Chiropractic know that pregnancy can be challenging, and we want to help you thrive during this exciting time! We know that the health of mom both before and during pregnancy directly affects the health of the baby throughout their lifetime. If a woman has a misalignment in their spine, this causes nerve dysfunction. Over time, this nerve dysfunction will lead to a variety of symptoms common in pregnancy, but will also create a sub-optimal environment for the baby for growth and development. Dr. Summer is also certified in the Webster Technique. This technique is specially designed to help women throughout their pregnancy and ensures proper pelvic alignment for easier and faster labor! Chiropractic has been shown to reduce labor pains and delivery times by 38%. Other benefits experienced in pregnancy through chiropractic include:

• Decreased low back pain

• Decreased nausea and morning sickness

• Increased energy

• Better sleep

• Less interventions in delivery

• And more!

Our hope is to educate and empower our moms to know that their bodies are perfectly and beautifully made for pregnancy and labor. Our adjustments are specific and gentle, designed to remove those misalignments causing nerve dysfunction to allow your nervous system to function optimally.

We look forward to taking care of you and your growing family!

The doctors at Radiant Family Chiropractic are extremely passionate about the health of children, because we know that healthy kids grow to become healthy adults. A common misconception is that children don’t need to be adjusted because they typically don’t have pain. What many people don’t know however, is that the first misalignment in a child’s spine typically occurs during the birthing process. Even an easy, non-complicated vaginal birth is traumatic for both mom and baby, so it is extremely important that newborns get checked too. It’s never too early for a child to get checked, and they should continue to get checked for misalignments as they grow and develop. These misalignments cause nerve interference, causes improper functioning of the child’s nervous system. Improper nervous system functioning is the root cause to many diseases and disorders we see today. Chiropractic has been shown to improve a variety of conditions, including:

• Ear infections

• Colic

• Asthma

• ADHD/ADD

• Sensory disorders

• Trouble latching

• Bed-wetting

• Mood disorders

• And so many more!

Each gentle and specific adjustment a child receives removes the nerve interference in their body, allowing their nervous system to function optimally. Now, the child’s body is better able to develop and adapt to the world.
