Your questions, answered.
Everything you might want to know about care at Alpha Chiropractic — techniques, prenatal & pediatric visits, insurance, and appointment policies.
Chiropractic Care
What techniques are offered?+
There are numerous techniques in the chiropractic profession that have been developed to ensure every individual's needs are met.
We utilize a variety of techniques including Diversified, Webster, Thompson Drop Table, Activator, extremities adjusting, and craniosacral therapy.
We are a family-based practice where we see all ages and sizes.
What is the Webster Technique?+
The Webster Technique was developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Its purpose is to deliver a safe and comfortable adjustment to restore proper pelvic balance and function.
"It was developed to restore normal physiological function of the mother and improve her comfort throughout pregnancy in preparation for a safer, easier birth."
Prenatal, Pediatric & Infant Care
Why should newborns and babies be seen by a chiropractor?+
The lasting effects birth can have on the health of infants and children isn't always addressed in conventional healthcare.
Common factors that may cause tension or trauma during birth include:
- Very long or very short labor
- The use of Pitocin
- Pain medications such as epidural
- Restricted birthing positions
- Pulling or twisting on the baby's head during delivery
- Forceps or vacuum extraction
- Cesarean birth
Birth is a big event for both mom and baby. Getting checked and adjusted may be beneficial for both of you.
Dr. Rina has seen babies as early as hours after being born — it's never too early.
