Pregnancy & Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, often leading to discomfort and misalignments. Our certified Webster Technique specialists focus on properly aligning your pelvis to support a more comfortable pregnancy experience.

By restoring optimal alignment, expectant mothers report reduced back pain and sciatica, improved baby positioning for birth, shorter and easier labor, and better postpartum recovery. We partner with you through every stage of your pregnancy journey to ensure you and your baby thrive.

Pediatric Chiropractic: Building Healthy Foundations

Your child's nervous system doubles in size during their first year and continues rapid development for years to come. Our gentle pediatric adjustments help address the root cause of common childhood challenges including colic and reflux, sleep difficulties, recurring ear infections, sensory processing and focus issues, developmental delays, and immune system function. Our specialized approach uses no "cracking" or "popping"—just gentle, precise techniques designed specifically for children's developing bodies.

OUR SERVICES

Our Nervous System-Focused Approach

At River City Wellness, we believe in evidence-based care. Using advanced INSiGHT™ scanning technology, we're able to get a clear, measurable picture of how your nervous system is functioning — especially how stress may be affecting you or your child's ability to adapt, regulate, heal, and thrive.

This non-invasive, kid-friendly and pregnancy-friendly scan helps us identify areas of nerve interference, monitor how the nervous system is adapting, and track progress over time. It's how we personalize care plans and ensure every adjustment is purposeful and effective.

Family-Centered Care for All Ages

From babies and toddlers to teens and tired parents, we're here to support your whole crew through the ups, downs, and in-betweens of family life. These days, stress shows up in all kinds of ways — trouble sleeping, challenges with focus, emotional ups and downs, or just feeling off.

At River City Wellness, we take a deeper look at what's going on beneath the surface. Our care helps the body reset and function the way it's designed to — with more calm, more energy, and more ease. When the nervous system is in balance, families sleep better, feel better, and connect better. It's not just about getting through the day — it's about helping your family thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your practice different from a typical chiropractor?

We focus on what's beneath the surface — the nervous system. While many chiropractic offices focus mainly on pain relief, our care is centered on how the body is functioning and adapting to stress. We use Insight scans to measure how the nervous system is handling life, and we design care around helping it work better — not just feel better. This isn't about chasing symptoms. It's about helping your family heal, grow, and thrive from the inside out.

What does the nervous system have to do with our health?

Everything your body does — sleeping, digesting, thinking clearly, managing emotions — is directed by your nervous system. When it's overwhelmed or stuck in stress mode, things don't run as smoothly. That's true whether you're 3 or 43. Our care helps reset that stress and restore better function from the inside out.

How do you know if the nervous system is stressed?

That's where our Insight scans come in. These non-invasive scans give us a clear picture of how your nervous system is functioning. They show where stress is stored and how well the body is adapting. It's one of the most important tools we use to make care specific and measurable — and to track your progress over time.

How young can someone start chiropractic care?

We see babies just days old — and adults of all ages. Birth, growth spurts, job stress, parenting, old injuries — these all create stress patterns in the body. Whether we're supporting a baby's development, a teen athlete's recovery, or a parent's energy levels, the goal is always the same: helping the nervous system function better so the body can too.

How do I know if my child (or I) should get checked?

If you're seeing things like emotional dysregulation, difficulty focusing, sleep issues, chronic tension, or even just a sense that something isn't right, it's worth getting checked. The nervous system doesn't always shout — sometimes it whispers. Our scans help us hear what it's saying and guide care based on what's actually happening inside.

What happens during the first visit?

Your first visit is all about getting a clear, complete picture of your health. We'll take time to hear your story, understand your goals, and learn what your body has been navigating — whether it's for your child, yourself, or your entire family. We use advanced Insight scans and a gentle, hands-on evaluation to assess how the nervous system is adapting to stress. This gives us the clarity we need to create a care plan that's specific, intentional, and designed around what you and your family need to function and feel your best.

How soon will we see changes?

It depends on how much stress the body has been carrying and how long it's been there. Some families notice changes quickly — better sleep, more calm, improved focus — while others take a bit more time as the body works through deeper patterns. Either way, we'll guide you every step of the way.

How long are visits, and how often will we come?

Once your care plan is in motion, most visits take about 15 to 30 minutes. We keep things efficient and intentional, so you get the support you need without adding extra stress to your day. In the beginning, visits may be more frequent to help unwind the stress your body or your child has been carrying. As the nervous system starts to regulate and adapt more easily, we often see families needing fewer visits to maintain progress and stay on track.

Do you accept insurance?

We don't bill insurance, as our care focuses on long-term health and nervous system function — not just temporary symptom relief. Most traditional plans aren't built to support this kind of proactive, neurologically based care. That said, many of our families value the freedom to make healthcare decisions based on what's truly best for them — without needing approval from a third party. We gladly accept HSA and FSA cards, making it easier to prioritize your family's health on your own terms.
