Pregnancy
At enKindle Chiropractic, we are here to support you as your body goes through one of the most incredible transformations - creating life.
Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both you and your baby throughout pregnancy and birth.
Using Webster Technique we assess and restore balance to your spine and pelvis with gentle chiropractic adjustments making for a more comfortable mom and baby, while also decreasing the chance for c-sections and promoting a healthier pregnancy and delivery.
How can we help?
While our primary goal is to help a mama prepare for a smoother birth and motherhood, we can also help you to have a more enjoyable pregnancy!

Empowered Birth
Perinatal chiropractic care helps to restore balance to the mother's anatomy (bone, muscles, ligaments), which may prevent and positively influence aberrant fetal presentations (less than ideal baby positions) including breech, nuchal hands, OP, and compound presentations, etc.
In addition to chiropractic care we support our mamas with education on the childbirth process, so they know what their body is doing and how they can prepare for the birth they desire.

Postpartum
The 4th Trimester
Even the smoothest of births puts extreme stress on the body followed by the rapid change to your spine and soft tissues once the baby is suddenly no longer in your belly. Add all the new activities of mothering such as nursing, rocking, changing and you have the recipe for the 4th trimester!
At enKindle Chiropractic, we are here to support you in this season of recovery. We know how hard you are working, AND we know you can't pour from an empty cup. Chiropractic care during your postpartum recovery can help you to integrate all of these new changes so that you can
be the best new mom you can be.

Dr. Alex is a fantastic chiropractor. She not only adjusted me throughout my pregnancy, but also offered tips on staying active and things to be cautious of while pregnant.
