Chiropractic AdjustmentsWe, as chiropractors, are trained to analyze your spine for misaligned vertebrae that aren't moving, called subluxations, and adjust them back into alignment. These subluxations interfere with your brain's ability to send signals through the nervous system to give & receive information from all of your body's systems.
We fix these subluxations with an adjustment. There is a vast variety of adjustment techniques that chiropractors learn & choose to use. We at Empowered Healing Chiropractic choose to use the more gentler techniques that give you the optimal results with less force. We tailor our adjusting style to your body's needs & your personal preferences.We have the ability to use the adjusting style that is most well known that elicits a pop (which is a natural gaseous release from the joints) or styles that don't elicit a pop, but still get the spine back into alignment! No matter what your body's needs are or what your preferences are we can tailor our technique just for you & we will never do anything you aren't comfortable with. |
Prenatal Chiropractic |
As you go through the stages of pregnancy there are “growing pains.” Some are normal, but some are amplifications of pain caused by misalignments called subluxations in a woman’s physical structure, namely your hips. Generally this is caused by the body responding to the growing baby & needs help to adapt.
These subluxations don't only affect mom, but they also affect the baby's development process. During gestation your body is developing the baby's spinal cord, nervous system, key primitive reflexes and all this while the baby is growing and trying to find its proper position within the space you have available. Chiropractors who specialize in prenatal care assess all the structures of the pelvis which include muscles, ligaments, and the hips bones for tightness and subluxations. Through that analysis we find the areas that need correction and gently adjust them. This restoration of balance helps mom better adapt to the growing pains of pregnancy, offers your body to have a clear connection to aid in your baby's development & prepares your body for the journey of labor. Just as a runner prepares for a marathon by running multiple miles every week, an expecting mom needs to prepare her body for the marathon of birth. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy is one part of that preparation that aids in the mother being structurally balanced with optimal space for baby to grow and eventually leave the womb. |
Webster Technique |
"The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia." ICPA4kids.org

Pediatric Chiropractic |
Did you know that the birthing process is the first physical trauma we all endure? Although the process of birth is a wonderful natural event, it does put extensive pressure on an infants neck since their head is used as leverage to help them get through the birth canal. A misalignment in the neck caused by the birth process can lead to symptoms like torticollis, colic, positional head deformities (called plagiocephaly and treatment entails the child wearing a helmet) & many others. This is the reason getting a child adjusted shortly after birth is so helpful & important! And the technique used is so gentle that it only takes 15 ounces of pressure to help their spine stay aligned. (Thats less than the pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato!)
As infants grow their spines start developing their natural curves & chiropractic care through that process aids in the proper development by helping it grow in alignment rather than let it grow into misalignment and fix it later in life. Yay! Dr. Rachel took extensive post-graduate courses to ensure she is proficient in the advanced techniques for caring for children of all ages! |

The benefits of getting yourself care not only helps you, but you pass on that health to your children through something called Epigenetics. "Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression which in turn affects how cells read genes." This means that you get to help your future generations get a better start in life by taking care of yourself - amazing right?
