Dr. Boyd will arrive with the necessary equipment to provide an individualized treatment experience.

• How does in-home chiropractic care work?

Dr. Boyd arrives at your home or office with all the equipment needed for the appointment. This includes a chiropractic table and all chiropractic and soft tissue instruments needed. The appointment is typically 45-60 minutes depending on the care that you need. The treatment usually includes a combination of soft tissue work along with an adjustment.

• Do you treat multiple family members at the same location?

Yes. Dr. Boyd commonly treats multiple members during a in-home visit. The care is customized to each patient.

• Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. All chiropractors receive basic training in adjusting pregnant women during chiropractic school. However, it is better to seek out a chiropractor, such as Dr. Boyd, who specializes in prenatal chiropractic, who uses modified techniques to accommodate the pregnant body and is certified in the Webster technique. 

• What are the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and natural approach to alleviate and manage pain and discomfort during pregnancy. Common conditions include back and pelvic pain, sciatica, hip pain, and pubic pain. Maintaining your alignment through your pregnancy creates the space and environment for the baby to get into the optimal position for labor and delivery. This can support a smoother labor and delivery experience including shorter labor times. 

• When should I start prenatal chiropractic care?

You can start care at any time during your pregnancy. In my experience the earlier you start during your pregnancy the better. Women that start earlier tend to be more comfortable for the duration of their pregnancy. 

• How soon after birth can I receive chiropractic care?

As soon as you are ready. Especially in the first few weeks your care can be personalized to be as gentle as needed. During the postpartum period, many mothers get what are called Mommy and Me appointments where both mother and baby get adjusted during the same appointment. 

• How can chiropractic care help with postpartum recovery?

Chiropractic care addresses the musculoskeletal changes and discomfort that can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. Now that your body is no longer under stress from pregnancy, we can restore proper alignment, balance, and nervous system function. Also new forms of stress are being introduced into the body from daily and repetitive activities such as carrying and feeding your baby.

• Is the Webster Technique safe during pregnancy?

The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic technique commonly used during pregnancy to support pelvic function and reduce tension in the muscles and ligaments around the pelvis. When performed by a professionally trained prenatal chiropractor, it is generally considered a low-force approach. Your chiropractor should consider your individual pregnancy.
