Did you know that about 4% of babies present breech during pregnancy?

When your little one is positioned bottom-down instead of head-down, it can bring up concerns about your birthing options. But here's the good news: chiropractic care might help!

Webster Technique is a specialized method that focuses on creating balance in the pelvis and reducing tension in the uterine ligaments. This gentle, pregnancy-specific adjustment helps create optimal conditions for your baby to find their best position naturally. ✨

As a Webster Certified chiropractor, we've helped many expecting mamas by:

-Balancing pelvic muscles and ligaments
-Reducing uterine constraint
-Supporting proper nervous system function
-Creating space for optimal fetal positioning

Studies show that regular chiropractic care using the Webster Technique has helped 82% of breech babies move into a more optimal position! The earlier we start care, the better the outcome. 💫

If you're pregnant and your baby is breech, know that you have options. Schedule a consultation to learn how we can support you and your little one on this beautiful journey! 🌟

Hey, mamas—this one’s for you! We know that ‘mom life’ is a full-time job, and finding time for self-care can feel impossible. Between caring for little ones and juggling daily tasks, it’s easy to put yourself last. But we’re inspired every day by the moms who break that cycle and make self-care a priority. ❤️

Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup—taking care of yourself helps you care better for others! Here are a few self-care ideas to consider:

At first, little Reese was facing some tough challenges—her torticollis and feeding issues were holding her back. Her neck and jaw were so tight that she struggled to turn her head to the left, and it was only getting worse. Feeding was difficult, and even tummy time, such an important milestone, became a struggle.

Her mom shared, “She would take in so much air during feeding that she’d be uncomfortable for hours. Her neck and jaw were so tight, she couldn’t maintain a good seal, and her head would only turn one way. We tried craniosacral therapy and lactation support, but nothing seemed to help.”

That’s when everything began to change. Reese’s neurological scans revealed area of tension and stress, and with the help of chiropractic care, her journey toward wellness began. :tada: The specific, gentle adjustments, combined with exercises for strengthening her body and improving her range of motion, made a world of difference. Dr. Khan worked on her extensively on her cranial bones to bring her high palate down. Reese also had a tongue and lip tie released, which helped her feed more comfortably.
Her mom recalls the moment they realized it was all working: “She suddenly started turning her head left and right, following us during tummy time! There was less crying, less discomfort—she was more at ease.” With the combined support of chiropractic care and PT, Reese has not only overcome her challenges, but she’s thriving.

Now, her mom proudly describes her as “the happiest baby,” hitting every one of her milestones with ease. Thanks to this dedicated care, Reese has kicked torticollis to the curb, and her journey of strength, health, and joy continues. 💖

We all have seen on social media how important it is to have a proper tongue function and posture. Did you know that a lot of different muscles and nerves work together for this function to happen?

The muscles in the neck, particularly those connected to the jaw and hyoid bone, play a significant role in tongue movement and positioning. When neck muscles are tight or overstrained, it can affect how the tongue functions. Proper tongue posture—where the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth—requires coordination of these muscles. If neck alignment or muscle tension is off, it may hinder this coordination, leading to poor tongue posture, which can impact swallowing, speech, and breathing.

Dr. Khan, as a certified pediatric chiropractor, can play a role in addressing feeding issues in infants and young children, particularly when these issues are related to poor tongue posture or restricted neck movement. Conditions like oral ties or poor latch during breastfeeding may be related to restricted neck muscles, cranial tension, or jaw misalignment.

The postpartum period is one of profound change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Chiropractic care can be an essential part of your recovery journey, helping to balance your body after the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth. By consistently receiving care, you support your body’s ability to heal from pain and discomfort in the back, hips, and pelvis, making your recovery smoother and more comfortable. AND it doesn’t stop there!

Chiropractic care also plays a crucial role in regulating your nervous system. With the emotional rollercoaster that postpartum brings, regular adjustments help balance your hormones and reduce stress and anxiety. A well-regulated nervous system means a healthier, calmer mom—and when your nervous system is in check, your baby feels that calm too.

A regulated mom creates an environment of ease, benefiting the baby’s sleep, digestion, and overall well-being. This ripple effect of wellness is what makes consistent chiropractic care so valuable for you and your little one in these early months. 🌿

Have you ever wondered how well your brain communicates with your body?

At our office, one of the key scans we use is the sEMG (Surface Electromyography) scan. This non-invasive test helps measure the muscle activity along your spine, giving us valuable insight into how well your nervous system is functioning.

By identifying areas of tension or imbalance, we can create a tailored care plan to help restore balance and ensure your brain-body connection is strong! 🌿

The birth process can be physically exhausting for newborns, often leading to interferences in their nervous system that may cause discomfort and developmental challenges early on. Stress and trauma can manifest in various ways, making it crucial to address the root cause as soon as possible to ensure your little one is set up for the healthiest future.

Signs of trauma or stress in newborns may include:

- Digestive issues
- Sleep troubles
- Colic
- Reflux
- Latch difficulties
- Gas

Chiropractic care provides a gentle, effective approach to addressing these concerns, ensuring your baby’s spine and nervous system are functioning optimally. From easing colic and reflux to improving latch and sleep, chiropractic care supports your baby’s natural growth and development, giving them the best start in life.

If you notice any of these signs in your newborn, don’t wait to seek support. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, effective approach to ensure your baby’s spine and nervous system are functioning optimally. Schedule an appointment today to see how we can help your little one thrive! 👶

What’s the #1 thing you can do while pregnant for the health of your baby? 🤷‍♀️

Make sure your nervous system is regulated! 👏 The nervous system controls every cell, organ + tissue in your body + in the growing baby’s body too! It is also the foundation on which everything else builds when it comes to baby development. The one thing we have seen at Safe Haven is that when Mom’s nervous system is regulated, she almost always has better birth outcomes + baby is healthier too! We obviously can’t control everything when it comes to birth, BUT we can control how our body reacts + adapts to stress when it comes.

The first step our doctor recommends when choosing to take care of your nervous system health is to see how it’s functioning now! To do this, we first start with a Neurological INSiGHT Scan to see how your body is handling all that comes with pregnancy. Next, our doctors will come up with a personalized care plan tailored to exactly what your nervous system needs to best serve you + your baby! 👶

feel free to DM us if you have any questions! We’re so excited for you + this beautiful next stage of life you’re entering!! ♥️

Chiropractic care is a game-changer for athletes looking to enhance their adaptability and performance.

By improving nervous system function, chiropractic care ensures that signals between the brain and body are clear, allowing athletes to react quickly and efficiently to the demands of their sport. This optimization also enhances flexibility and range of motion, reducing stiffness and helping athletes achieve their peak potential.

Additionally, regular chiropractic care helps prevent injuries by maintaining proper body mechanics and alignment, keeping athletes in top form.

Beyond physical benefits, chiropractic care also plays a crucial role in recovery and mental well-being. A regulated nervous system promotes faster healing by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow to injured areas, ensuring athletes can return to their activities quickly. Enhanced balance and coordination through improved proprioception give athletes the edge they need for precise movements. Finally, by reducing stress and optimizing nervous system function, chiropractic care helps athletes maintain focus and clarity, allowing them to perform with confidence and consistency.

If you are looking to optimize performance with an athlete in your family, give us a call to see how chiropractic care can help them improve mentally and physically this sports season!

A dysregulated nervous system vs a regulated nervous system can significantly impact overall health and well-being, and chiropractic care plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance.

A dysregulated nervous system is often characterized by an imbalance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches. This imbalance can lead to several health issues, such as:

Chronic Stress: An overactive sympathetic nervous system can keep the body in a constant state of stress, leading to anxiety, irritability, and difficulty relaxing.

Digestive Problems: Poor nervous system regulation can impair digestive function, causing issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion.

Sleep Disturbances: Dysregulation can interfere with sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or poor-quality sleep.
Weakened Immune Function: A stressed nervous system can weaken the immune response, making the body more susceptible to illnesses.

Chronic Pain: Misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can cause nerve interference, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.

In contrast, a regulated nervous system is balanced, allowing the body to function optimally. Key benefits include:

Improved Stress Management: A balanced nervous system efficiently transitions between sympathetic and parasympathetic states, promoting relaxation and reducing chronic stress.

Optimal Digestive Health: Proper nervous system regulation supports effective digestion, reducing issues like bloating and constipation.

Better Sleep Quality: A well-regulated nervous system enhances sleep quality, helping you fall asleep more easily and enjoy deeper, restorative sleep.

Enhanced Immune Function: A balanced nervous system strengthens the immune response, helping the body fend off illnesses more effectively.

Pain Relief and Prevention: Chiropractic care can correct spinal misalignments, reducing nerve interference and alleviating chronic pain.

Have you found yourself wondering, "what do I actually need during the postpartum period to support myself and my baby?"

Here at Safe Haven, we love supporting mothers during this new season of life. While the postpartum period is technically forever-- we recommend intentionally supporting new parents through the first year of the newborns life.

A few of our favorites are:
1. Incorporating skin to skin and baby wearing daily.

2. Chiropractic care not only for supporting mom's nervous system but for baby as well. Having a regulated nervous system for both mom and baby is important for bonding and healing together.

3. Nourishing the "womb space" with warm foods such as bone broth, herbal teas, and soups is important for the first few months.
A favorite book to check out is "The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother."

4. Finding a support team to help you rehab and rebuild physically and emotionally.

5. Connection to self and to others is important for parenthood. Taking time to see friends and family, for self care including meditation, prayer, breath work, and intentional movement helps new parents reground and recenter during this new season.

Need support during the postpartum period? We would love to be apart of your postpartum journey!
