Chiropractic Care
As a homebirth midwife, I see the benefit of chiropractic care in real time. I repeatedly see smooth, incredibly positive, timely labors and births of families who receive chiropractic care! Lets face it, if a mother’s body/pelvis is balanced, her baby will choose an optimal position and together they will navigate birth wonderfully! I hope you enjoy reading over everything Christine shares. I feel so lucky to have such a talented pregnancy and newborn chiropractor to recommend.
Meet Christine Carson
Hi there! My name is Dr. Christine. My heart has always held a drive to care for others, and a personal experience seeking more natural care in high school led me to Chiropractic. The ability to address the root cause without using medicine or other invasive treatments just made sense. Now in my ninth year in practice, I continue to see what drastic improvement it can bring to peoples' lives each day.

Pregnancy & Postpartum care quickly became my passion. Women often put everyone but themselves first, but still need just as much attention as others. The Webster Prenatal Technique allows me to support women through pregnancy and postpartum. Being a mama myself, I understand how special this time of life can be and am honored to be a part of the journey.
Let’s not forget about those kiddos! Newborns and children often need help too. Their development is so important, and Chiropractic allows for safe, effective treatment. Post-graduate studies in pediatric adjusting, cranial work, tongue ties, and treatment of infants and children allow me to help parents raise their children with a strong foundation of health. Nothing is more rewarding than when a child begins to flourish after their first adjustment. What a joy to be included in caring for the whole family!

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey that brings with it many physical changes and challenges. The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic adjustment designed to help pregnant women achieve optimal pelvic alignment. This technique focuses on reducing stress and tension in the pelvis and surrounding muscles. The goal is to enhance the function of the pelvis, which can lead to a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother delivery.
Women who seek chiropractic care throughout pregnancy often experience:
More comfort and pain relief
Improved pelvic alignment
Restful sleep
Reduced labor and delivery time
Fewer interventions
Easier postpartum recovery
Reduced stress and strain while caring for baby
Support for breastfeeding

The birth process, although natural, can be physically demanding for both mother and baby. The journey through the birth canal, even in uncomplicated deliveries, can result in minor misalignments in a newborn's spine. These misalignments, known as subluxations, can affect the nervous system and overall health. Chiropractic care aims to gently correct these subluxations, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and function optimally.
Parents who seek care for their infants and children often experience:
Enhanced nervous system function and regulation
Improved sleep patterns
Relief from colic and digestive issues
Support for healthy development
Achieved milestones
Boosted immune system
Reduced incidence of ear infections
Success with latching and nursing

In the search for optimal wellness, many women are turning to acupuncture as a holistic approach to address various health concerns. Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing. It is based on the concept of "qi", the vital energy that flows through pathways in the body known as meridians. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to balance the flow of qi, enhance the body's natural healing processes, and support overall well-being.
Benefits of Acupuncture for women's health:
Menstrual health
Hormonal balance
Fertility support
Pregnancy wellness
Stress reduction
Improved sleep

As your due date approaches, you might be exploring different methods to encourage labor to start naturally. By targeting specific points, acupuncture aims to stimulate the body’s own mechanisms to kick-start labor. The goal is to support the body in transitioning naturally into labor by enhancing uterine contractions and helping the baby move into the optimal position.
Benefits of acupuncture for labor induction:
Preparing the cervix for labor
Promoting uterine contractions
Aid in baby's positioning
Reducing stress and anxiety
