As Chiropractors, we never claim to turn a baby, but what we can do is help support optimal pelvic balance and uterine comfort for mom. Through gentle adjustments and myofascial release, we work to reduce tension in the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues—creating space, improving mobility, and helping moms feel more aligned as their bodies prepare for birth.

Sabrina’s OB-GYN determined she was a good candidate for an External Cephalic Version (ECV)—a medical procedure where a provider manually attempts to turn a breech or transverse baby into a head-down position. Her ECV was done right after her chiropractic session, and although we don’t move babies ourselves, Sabrina truly felt that the pelvic and uterine work made the process smoother and more comfortable for her.

Fast-forward to today: baby is still head-down at 38 weeks, right where we want her to stay. We’ll continue with gentle treatments until baby arrives to help keep Sabrina’s pelvis balanced and aligned, supporting comfort and ease in these final weeks.

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, and we’re honored to support moms with safe, gentle care every step of the way. 🤍

After this sweet boy’s 1st chiropractic visit, and doing exercises at home, we’re seeing major improvements! When he first came in he was having difficulty with thoracic extension, turning his head to one side, and lifting his arms above his head.

We’re so proud of him and grateful to help him be more comfortable in his body.

The sweetest big brother loving on his little sister 🤍

1 week after her first appointment and this sweet girl has already made such great improvements. Opening up a newborn’s thoracic spine and rib cage is something we can help teach our newborns. There’s a lot of unwinding that needs to happen after being in a tight little space for so long, this is where newborn chiropractic can help!

Tummy time helps Nannie’s achieve spinal balance after birth. A lot of times, especially when close to birth, baby is stuck in one position, giving them a c curve. This can cause tension in your little babies body, which is why we love to help address the imbalances even at 6 days old.

When working a desk job, our bodies can start to slump forward, and our head and lean forward when looking at a screen. This posture can lead to a low of lower back and neck pain.

If you work a desk job, try doing these exercises a few times throughout your day. Give it a try and tell us what you think!

✨ What you’re seeing here is a powerful moment of release ✨

In this video, Dr. Heather Hunt is using craniosacral therapy (CST) on a 6-day-old baby — a gentle, light-touch technique that supports the nervous system and helps the body unwind from tension patterns that can develop during birth and in utero.

You’ll notice two things happening:

Red Release: That temporary redness on the baby’s skin is a sign of increased blood and lymph flow — the body’s way of saying, “I’m opening up and releasing.” It’s completely normal and often indicates that tissues are relaxing and circulation is improving.

Therapeutic Pulse: Practitioners can feel subtle rhythmic motions — a “pulse” that reflects the body’s self-corrective response. When the pulse shifts or deepens, it shows that the baby’s system is finding balance and moving into a calmer, more regulated state- the parasympathetic

These gentle moments can support feeding, sleep, digestion, and overall nervous system health — helping babies feel more at ease in their little bodies.
