Perinatal Chiropractic Care
Supporting Mothers Through Every Stage
At Malchar Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we understand that the journey through pregnancy and postpartum can be both exhilarating and challenging. Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time in a woman’s life, but it can also come with discomfort as the body changes. In fact, approximately 50 percent of women will experience some form of pain or discomfort before delivery. Studies have shown that the physical intensity of carrying a baby is equivalent to running a marathon, every day, for 40-weeks! Many expecting moms may not be aware that chiropractic care can provide safe and effective solutions for managing these discomforts.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care: Embrace a Comfortable Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings significant changes to a woman's body, and prenatal chiropractic care can play a vital role in managing these changes. Our gentle, targeted adjustments help to:
Alleviate Back Pain: Reduce the common discomfort associated with pregnancy, including lower back pain and sciatica.
Improve Pelvic Alignment: Promote optimal fetal positioning and potentially reduce the risk of breech presentation.
Enhance Overall Comfort: Address aches and pains to help you feel more comfortable as your body adapts to the growing baby.
Postpartum Chiropractic Care: Support Your Recovery
The postpartum period is a crucial time for recovery and adjustment. Our chiropractic care focuses on:
Restoring Alignment: Help your body return to its pre-pregnancy state by addressing misalignments that may have occurred during pregnancy and childbirth.
Enhancing Functionality: Support recovery from labor and delivery, including addressing any lingering pain or discomfort.
Promoting Overall Well-being: Assist with physical and emotional adjustments as you navigate the demands of new motherhood.
“Pregnancy is the most energetically expensive activity the human body can maintain for nine months.”

Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Infants
The first trauma that we all experience is birth, whether a natural delivery or a caesarean. Our goal is to help your baby start their life without interference in their nervous system. Adjustments for babies can begin immediately after birth, and they are vastly different from adult adjustments. Our doctors will apply gentle pressure to certain spots on baby’s body to remove spinal misalignments and nerve interference. Because adjustments improve nervous system function, adjustments for baby enhances growth and development.
Adjustments for baby can help with:
Ear Infections
Colic
Digestive Issues
Sleeping Difficulties
Reflux
Latching Issues
Torticollis
Birth Trauma
Children
Children need adjusting, too! Every fall, every wrong twist or turn puts pressure on a child’s nervous system and can cause the spine to become misaligned. Why wait until that child is an adult with pain and issues that could have been prevented? As our children are developing that muscle memory, we work to allow their system to develop proper mechanics which in turn can minimize risk of injury later in life. Healthy kids make healthy adults!
Adjustments for children can help with:
Headaches
Ear infections
Constipation/Irregularity
Scoliosis
Asthma/Allergies
Sports Injuries
Bedwetting
