Pediatric Care

Is chiropractic care safe for infants and children?

Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by a trained professional. Our doctors use gentle, low-force techniques appropriate for infants and children. KST uses the ArthroStim instrument for precise, comfortable corrections, and Talsky Tonal Chiropractic works with the body's innate intelligence. All approaches are very gentle and safe for all ages.

Pediatric Care

What conditions can chiropractic care help with in children?

Chiropractic care can support children with colic, reflux, sleep difficulties, ear infections, developmental delays, focus issues, and general wellness. It works by optimizing nervous system function, which controls all body systems. Our doctors see remarkable outcomes across a range of conditions.

Pediatric Care

How soon after birth can a baby receive chiropractic care?

Babies can be checked as early as their first day of life. Birth, even uncomplicated births, can put stress on a newborn's spine and nervous system. Early evaluation helps identify and address any tension before symptoms develop. Many parents bring their newborns within the first few weeks.

Prenatal Care

What is prenatal chiropractic care?

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on maintaining proper pelvic alignment and nervous system function during pregnancy. This supports optimal fetal positioning, reduces discomfort, and can contribute to easier labor and delivery. Our doctors use gentle techniques designed specifically for pregnant women.

Prenatal Care

When should I start prenatal chiropractic care?

Ideally, before conception or as early in pregnancy as possible. However, pregnant women can benefit from chiropractic care at any stage. Early care establishes optimal pelvic balance from the start, while care later in pregnancy can help prepare the body for birth. Many women continue care throughout their entire pregnancy.

Family Care

What is Koren Specific Technique (KST)?

Koren Specific Technique uses the ArthroStim adjusting instrument for gentle, precise chiropractic corrections. The ArthroStim delivers rapid, gentle impulses that are comfortable for patients of all ages. KST can locate and correct subluxations that other methods may miss, and there is no twisting, popping, or cracking.

Family Care

How often will I need to come for adjustments?

Visit frequency depends on your individual needs and care goals. Initially, more frequent visits may help establish positive changes. As your nervous system stabilizes, visits typically become less frequent. Our doctors create custom care plans based on your specific situation and goals.

Family Care

Do you accept insurance?

We provide detailed receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many patients find their care is covered through their out-of-network benefits. We also offer flexible payment options to make care accessible. Contact our office for specific information about your insurance coverage.
