Chiropractic care is completely safe during pregnancy when performed by a skilled, experienced chiropractor. It's also been shown to relieve back pain in 70% of pregnant patients. We make gentle, precise adjustments that optimize your health and wellness – and therefore the health and wellness of the fetus as well.

The pelvic ligaments typically loosen during pregnancy in preparation for delivery. However, this change can destabilize the sacral spine, encouraging alignment problems that may interfere with the fetus's ability to assume a head-downward position for birth. If you're facing a breech birth, you may need to undergo a C-section instead of having a normal delivery.

In many cases, chiropractic care can indeed help you steer clear of a C-section due to a breech birth. Our ability to correct sacral and pelvic alignment issues makes it easier for your fetus to turn around in the womb, facilitating a normal, healthy delivery.

You may be surprised to learn that most chiropractors practice differently based on their certifications and studies. We understand that the combination of joint and muscle manipulation, rehabilitation, and therapeutic exercises offers our patients the best recovery.

Our office does accept insurance. Most insurance offers some sort of coverage for our services. It is best to give our office a call at (718) 222-9700 to verify your specific coverage over the phone. We offer cash payment plans if needed.

During your first office visit, you will receive an exam. This includes a review of your new patient paperwork, x-rays and a report of findings. During your report of findings, we will thoroughly review your case, answer any questions you have, and provide our recommended care plan to resolve the root cause of your problem.

Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care:

• Phase 1 Relief Care: If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
• Phase 2 Corrective & Restorative Care: During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.‍
• Phase 3 Wellness Care: Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
