Pregnant mamas, are you dealing with that all-too-common pregnancy backache?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s talk about why it happens and how prenatal chiropractic care can help ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As your little one grows, your body undergoes A LOT of changes. 😮‍💨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your center of gravity shifts forward, causing your lower back to curve more than usual. This extra curve (what we call hyperlordosis) puts strain on your spinal joints and muscles, leading to that persistent back ache.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, your body is producing relaxin, a hormone that softens and loosens muscles and ligaments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛 This is obviously by design and helpful to accommodate a growing belly and labor/delivery, but it can lead to pain well before you’re baby bump is even showing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where the Webster Technique comes into play! This specialized approach was developed specifically for pregnant women and focuses on:
🤰🏼 Balancing the pelvis by gently adjusting the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine)
🤰🏼 Reducing tension in the round ligaments that support your uterus
🤰🏼 Decreasing stress on the uterosacral ligaments that connect your uterus to your sacrum
🤰🏼 Restoring proper alignment and movement to your pelvic joints
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These gentle, precise adjustments help maintain optimal pelvic alignment throughout your pregnancy, reducing nerve pressure and allowing your baby more room to grow and move.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hurray for nixing the pregnancy back pain that you’re so often told to “just deal with”! To book an appointment, tap the link in bio or give us a call at 📲 (713) 490-2225

Is your child struggling with sensory challenges?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it’s over-sensitivity to bright lights, loud noises, aggravating clothing, difficulty in new environments, etc., it all comes down to soothing their little nervous system.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At WestU Wellness, we understand the impact that sensory issues can have on a child’s daily life, and we’re here to offer gentle, chiropractic care that honors their unique needs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Misalignments in the spine can disrupt the flow of information between the brain and the body, affecting how children perceive and respond to sensory input.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By addressing these misalignments, chiropractic adjustments help improve the brain’s ability to interpret and process sensory stimuli more effectively.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We understand that every child is unique, and we approach them with patience, compassion, and respect for their individual needs and preferences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where your child feels comfortable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your child is struggling with sensory challenges, know that you’re not alone—there is hope to get your child the personalized support they need.

Why does a baby or child need chiropractic care?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The process of being born is super tough on mom, but also on baby.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to Pathways Magazine, 90% of newborns suffered the effects of birth trauma (associated strain through the neck and cranial areas following birth).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t mean to imply that babies are fragile and we are inherently in need of being fixed, but a little tune-up definitely helps their little nervous systems get off to a great start!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The research done by Viola Frymann, an American osteopathic doctor, studied more than 1,500 babies periodically across an eight-year period. She examined all babies within the first five days of birth (most were checked within the first 24 hours).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pathways states:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“This study revealed that approximately:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ 10 percent of the newborn babies had perfect, freely mobile skulls or cranial mechanisms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ 10 percent had severe trauma to the head, evident even to untrained observers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ The remaining 80 percent all had some strain patterns in the cranial mechanism.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractors who specialize in babies and children are highly trained to correct these issues to optimize the baby’s spinal growth and development.

Ear infections are one of the top reasons moms bring their kids to our office.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although we see firsthand the results our tiny patients get in our office day in and day out, a study in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics indicates a strong correlation between a chiropractic adjustment and the resolution of otitis media (aka ear infections).

Carrying twins means double the joy, and often double the physical demands on your body. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As your little ones grow, the increased weight and pressure can lead to significant discomfort, especially in your lower back and pelvis.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s where specialized prenatal chiropractic care comes in, particularly the Webster Technique. This gentle approach is especially valuable for twin pregnancies!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you’re carrying twins, proper pelvic alignment becomes even more crucial. The Webster Technique focuses on balancing your pelvis and reducing tension in the uterine ligaments, creating optimal space for both babies to grow and move freely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For twin mamas, like the one in this photo, we pay special attention to the sacrum and round ligaments, which experience a lot of strain during a twin pregnancy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Bonus support: Many of our twin mamas also find incredible relief from prenatal massage, which helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and ease the stress that comes with carrying two developing babies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By ensuring your pelvis maintains proper alignment and movement, we help reduce intrauterine constraint, giving both of your little ones the room they need to find their optimal positions for birth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our twin moms in Bellaire, TX often report less back pain, better mobility, and an overall more comfortable pregnancy with consistent care 🙌🏼

Are your kiddos getting adjusted this summer?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all know what summer looks like - your little ones are suddenly 🛝 playing all day at camp, 🤿 cannonballing into pools, having impromptu backyard wrestling matches, and sleeping in odd positions during sleepovers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All that fun is strongly encouraged and helps their development in more ways than one, but we also want to be mindful of keeping their bodies in tip-top shape.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about it - remember when your child took that tumble off their bike last week? Or maybe they’re walking differently after starting their sports camp?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪 Their bodies are constantly adapting to these summer adventures!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gentle chiropractic adjustments by our specially trained pediatric doctors at WestUWellness in Bellaire, TX, help keep everything in balance while they’re growing and exploring. ⛰️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your child’s spine is properly aligned, their body simply works better - from fighting off those summer sniffles to getting restful sleep after those long, exciting days. 😎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And let’s be honest - growth spurts don’t take summer vacations! Many kids shoot up an inch or two during these months, and regular adjustments help ensure their spine grows straight and strong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our gentle techniques are nothing like adult adjustments - most children find them relaxing and even look forward to their visits.

Our Mission

We are the premiere chiropractic office in Houston for pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic. Four of our chiropractors are advanced certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association in pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic treatment. We also provide a full complement of massage therapy services, Pilates, yoga, and acupuncture while still maintaining the personal relationships and one-on-one service of a small business. Just because you’re pregnant, it does not mean you have to suffer with back pain, sciatic issues, SPD, or headaches. Regular chiropractic care can help improve pelvic alignment and studies have shown that this can help reduce labor times. For babies, we also believe that gentle chiropractic and craniosacral treatment can assist in optimizing nerve flow so that children can develop to their greatest potential. We have seen patients with latch and nursing issues, colic, reflux, plagiocephaly, torticollis, constipation, chronic ear infections, and scoliosis improve with chiropractic treatment (just to name a few conditions). Our clinic offers additional services for people of all ages and from all walks of life who are seeking ways to improve their health and posture without medication or surgery.
