Women Are Different...
...And we have different needs when it comes to musculoskeletal care—especially when it comes to being active and striving for optimal performance in life and sport.
Oftentimes in healthcare, women are treated in the same manner as men. The fact of the matter is that our bodies are not the same. We have a different structure, therefore we need a little different approach.
Regardless of your chronological age, you deserve the best in specialized professional care. For the teenager, the grad student, the research scientist, the new mom, the not-so-new mom, or the retiree, your needs are given individualized attention at Khalsa Chiropractic Office.
Prenatal Care
During pregnancy, many women develop various musculoskeletal complaints due to rapid development
, hormonal changes, laxity of connective ligaments, and shifts in weight-bearing structures. Any distortions in the anatomical structures of the pelvis may make the birthing process more difficult. The women's health specialists at Khalsa Chiropractic utilize gentle soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques to help reduce myofascial restrictions and distortions within the pelvis, providing greater comfort for mom, as well as creating an ideal in utero environment for the baby.
