The Webster Technique is a gentle, specialized chiropractic adjustment designed specifically for pregnancy. It focuses on balancing the pelvis, reducing misalignment, and easing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

When the pelvis is properly aligned and the supporting tissues are balanced, it helps reduce stress on the uterus and creates more space for baby to move into an optimal position. Many families seek this technique when navigating breech presentation, but it’s also incredibly supportive for overall comfort throughout pregnancy.

This safe, non-invasive approach helps decrease musculoskeletal pain, supports better pelvic function, and can contribute to a smoother, more aligned labor experience — all while honoring the body’s natural design.

Gardner Method for prenatal chiropractic care (formerly knows as the Bagnell Technique) is another chiropractic technique used to access and correct in-utero constraint, very similar to the Webster.

Dr.Candice has been utilizing these techniques for 20-plus years.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps release tension deep within the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University, where he served as professor of biomechanics. Using a soft touch (generally no greater than 5 grams – about the weight of a nickel), practitioners release restrictions in soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure to help bolster disease resistance and improve pain and dysfunction. How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?  The brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system have a significant influence over the body’s ability to function properly. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system – the membranes and fluid that surround, protect, and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Every day your body endures stresses and strains for which it must work to compensate. Unfortunately, these changes can cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form, resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system and the other systems with which it interacts. Fortunately, such restrictions may be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses hands to evaluate and use soft-touch techniques to release restrictions and enhance the body’s ability to self-correct. Craniosacral Therapy is able to support the body’s health in patients with a wide variety of dysfunctions:
Migraines and Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Stress and Tension-Related Disorders
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Infant and Childhood Disorders
Lip, Tongue, Buccal ties

Corrective Exercise

 

We teach specific exercises recommended for each patient to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Coaching

 

We often find it helpful to coach patients on activities they can avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenges. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle, full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person and collaborate to help each person reach true health and wellness.

Nutritional Counseling

 

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance return to, and maintenance of, optimal health. Do you know the supplements and vitamins that are good for you? Dr. Candice Koch can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

The Activator Method is a chiropractic treatment method and device created by Arlan Fuhr as an alternative to manual adjustment of the spine or extremity joints.

Sacro Occipital Technique is a system of chiropractic based upon the understanding that sickness and pain has an underlying distortion or subluxation contributing to that sickness or pain. The right adjustment, at the right spot, at the right time, and in the right direction, can help release nerve energy to allow the body to heal naturally. The sacro-occipital technique is a method of analyzing the body’s structures in the vertical, prone, and supine positions to help determine the existence of bony distortions and displacements, and, by so doing, make an analysis for restoring proper nerve force through a balancing of the respiratory and cerebrospinal fluid systems and pressures, which, in turn, helps relieve nerve pressure from within.
