MOTHERS:

We recognize that the care we provide to pregnant mothers affects the very well-being of the entire family

Pregnancy is a phase of big changes for a women’s body and life. Starting with all the hormonal changes happening inside the body, to the visible changes seen by others. One of the largest areas of change is in the spine - in the lower back and pelvis.

As the hormone relaxin is secreted, the pelvis expands and the ligaments get looser to make space for the growth of the baby. Hips and the sacrum expand and loosen. This is crucial for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Many times, however, these changes are painful for a mother’s body. Lower back pain, sciatica, and knee pain are frequently experienced during and after pregnancy.

At Healthy Spine Austin, we help mothers by aligning their spine and pelvis during pregnancy and after childbirth. Dr. Laura helps Moms get relief from pain and achieve a healthier environment for the baby to form. An aligned pelvis helps women experience a better birthing process.

Chiropractic care can help breeched babies turn by making room for them to move, increasing the chances of a natural delivery and a better post-partem recovery.

PEDIATRICS:

We believe that all babies have the right to be checked to ensure their spine is in proper alignment so they can thrive inside their bodies

A growing percentage of the population is using chiropractic care from birth and throughout life for both health challenges and prevention. Babies and kids are gifts from God who all have the potential inside of them to thrive in a healthy environment. They come perfect as they are. However, things in life happen that can interfere with a baby’s full potential. Sometimes it can be a trauma to their spine in the birth process or a fall they have when they are little.

When a child’s spine is in alignment, their nervous system will function optimally and will strengthen their immune system to facilitate development and healing. We have seen this over and over in our years of practice. Chiropractic care is a powerful way for parents to help your child heal naturally.

Dr. Laura Ferrao helps children who are suffering from issues like colic, asthma, acid reflix, ADHD, headaches, tortcollis and ear infections, among others. A gentle adjustment to the spine can restore their health in a few visits because a child’s immune system and nervous system usually responds quickly to the adjustment. Upper Cervical chiropractic is a great way to keep their body functioning optimally to prevent future health issues developing.
