Can any chiropractor adjust pregnant people?
Although post graduate prenatal training and certification is not required for chiropractors to adjust pregnant people, it is highly recommended as the adjustments are quite different and modified to maximize safety, effectiveness and comfort. Dr. Abby has completed hundreds of hours of additional training to become an expert in the field of prenatal bodywork and chiropractic care.
Do you accept walk-ins?
No, Dr. Abby reserves your appointment time for you and you only to allow for true patient centered care. We know you are busy and our office strives to run on time!

Right on time is just perfect! If you have not completed your new patient paperwork in advance, please arrive 10-15minutes early.

What do I wear for my appointment?
Whatever you are comfortable in! Leggings or yoga pants that are easy to move around in are great, but if you forget we can work with whatever you are wearing.
Do the adjustments hurt?
No! In fact, most mamas to be look forward to their adjustments because they feel so great afterwards. Prenatal chiropractic is extremely safe and gentle for both you and baby. We have special tables and pregnancy pillows that allow you to get nice and comfortable.
