Prenatal Chiro (Webster Technique)
Pregnancy places unique demands on the body, particularly the pelvis and spine. Prenatal chiropractic care offers gentle, safe adjustments to support comfort and mobility throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Dr. Njaa utilizes the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic analysis and treatment that helps balance the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues. This can reduce discomfort such as lower back or hip pain, pubic bone pain, round ligament pain; and may encourage optimal fetal positioning. Many expecting mothers find that prenatal chiro promotes an easier, more comfortable pregnancy experience.
Pediatric Chiro
Common reasons parents bring their children for chiropractic include:
- Support nervous system function
- Eases tension from birth
- Enhances spinal alignment for growth and development

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chiropractic vs physiotherapy?
Both physiotherapy and chiropractic care help restore movement and physical function in people dealing with acute or chronic conditions with a focus on education and long-term recovery and prevention.
Chiropractic care works to improve alignment and restore proper motion in the spine and joints, supporting overall body balance. Through soft tissue therapy, joint mobilizations, and manual adjustments, it helps relieve discomfort and promotes better body function.
Physiotherapy combines exercise therapy, stretching, strengthening, and hands-on techniques that clients actively participate in, helping them regain mobility, strength, and confidence in their movement.
I'm a new patient. What Can I expect?
Your chiropractor will begin with an extensive health history to understand your concerns, followed by an objective exam of the injured area. If needed, your chiropractor may send you for X-ray or ultrasound imaging. Treatment will then include soft tissue therapy, joint mobilizations, and manual adjustments to relieve pain, improve alignment and body balance.
