Chiropractic for the whole family
ADULTSWe see everyone in the family, from newborn to 98 (We say 98 because that was our oldest client).
Chiropractic care can help adults of all ages maintain mobility, reduce pain and support overall well being. We face a lot of daily stresses as adults! By improving spinal alignment, it relieves tension, enhances movement and promotes better sleep and energy for a healthier life!

KIDSWe are known in the area for our care for pregnant and paediatric clients. Just like when you take kids to the dentist to get teeth checked the same applies for spines. The difference is we are born with a spine and having it checked is a valuable choice for your loved ones. Gentle adjustments can help maintain and enhance nervous system function, as well as aiding in their continual physical and cognitive development.

PREGNANCYChiropractic care during pregnancy can help support a more comfortable experience by reducing pains and aches, improving pelvic alignment, and promoting optimal fetal positioning. Receiving alignments can also assist in helping with a smoother labour and reduce tension in the pelvis, to support the body's natural birthing process.
Many people ask when it is a good time to come in when pregnant. Ideally we would see each pregnant mum as soon as they are comfortable. If everything is progressing well than there is no better time than now. For many this can include when trying to conceive.
