Newborn & Pediatric Chiropractic

Dr. Abby has completed extensive specialized training to work with newborns, infants and children, with her true passion being working with birth through pre-crawling babies. Pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle and very different than the style of adjustments used on adults. When seeking chiropractic care for your newborn, it is important to choose a chiropractor that has additional training, experience and expertise in pediatric care.

Dr. Abby incorporates a mix of gentle pediatric adjustments, craniosacral therapy, movement based play therapies and homecare recommendations into her treatment plans. She has dedicated a significant amount of time towards learning how to work with your baby/child in the safest, most effective and fun way possible. Some of her recent specialized pediatric training includes:

• TummyTime!™ Method Certification
• Craniosacral Therapy for Infants: Identifying & correcting anatomical, digestive & breastfeeding pathologies in infants
