Prenatal & Paediatric Chiropractic
Prenatal & Paediatric Chiropractic Care
Gentle, specialized chiropractic care for every stage, from pregnancy and postpartum recovery to newborns, infants, and growing children. Dr. Chelsea Lillbeck, DC is Webster Technique certified and has specific training in paediatric and infant chiropractic care.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
As your body changes throughout pregnancy, shifting posture, loosening ligaments, and a growing uterus can place new strain on the spine, pelvis, and supporting joints. Dr. Chelsea uses the Webster Technique, a chiropractic analysis and adjustment developed specifically for use during pregnancy, to support pelvic balance and ease common pregnancy-related discomfort.
Webster Technique
A specific sacral and pelvic analysis used to reduce misalignment and ease tension on the ligaments supporting the uterus, helping the body prepare for labour.
Round Ligament Pain
Sharp or pulling pain in the lower abdomen as the uterus grows, addressed with gentle, pregnancy-safe manual therapy.
Low Back & Pelvic Pain
Pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, and low back discomfort that often develop as posture and weight distribution shift throughout pregnancy.
Rib & Mid-Back Discomfort
Rib joint dysfunction and mid-back tension, common in later trimesters as the diaphragm and ribcage are pushed upward.
All Trimesters
Care provided throughout the first, second, and third trimesters, with technique and positioning adapted to each stage of pregnancy.
Postpartum Recovery
Pelvic realignment, core and posture support, and treatment for the aches and strain of caring for a newborn after delivery.
Paediatric & Infant Chiropractic Care
Dr. Chelsea's youngest patient was a few hours old. Paediatric and infant adjustments use extremely gentle, low-force techniques suited to a developing spine and nervous system, nothing like the manipulation used with adult patients.
Latch Difficulties
Working in collaboration with lactation consultants to assess and support infants experiencing breastfeeding or latch challenges.
Plagiocephaly (Flat Head)
Gentle assessment and treatment to support symmetrical head shape and address muscular tightness contributing to flattening.
Torticollis
Treatment for tight or shortened neck muscles causing a baby's head to tilt or turn to one side.
Colic & Unsettled Infants
Gentle chiropractic care as part of a broader approach to supporting fussy, unsettled, or colicky infants.
Developmental Support
Monitoring and gentle care to support healthy movement patterns and milestones as infants and toddlers grow.
Children & Teens
Postural strain, sports injuries, and growth-related discomfort in school-aged children and teens, including young athletes.
