Most people recognize the value of chiropractic care for adults. But a more normally working nervous system can help everyone. Before subjecting children to risky drugs or hoping it’s "just a phase they’re going through," wise parents consult our office.
Chiropractic care for children is different from that for adults. Tailored to the child's age and weight, pediatric adjustments often require no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Children in our office enjoy chiropractic care and look forward to their maintenance visits.
Healthy Pregnancy
Due to rapid development, hormonal changes, laxity of connective ligaments and shifts in weight-bearing structures during pregnancy, many women develop low back pain and/or sciatica. At HCW we use specific chiropractic adjustments for pregnant women to reduce interference to the nervous system and balance out the pelvis. This offers relief from associated discomfort and also facilitates the mother's overall good health. Prenatal chiropractic care effectively removes uterine constraint in the expectant mother and allows the baby to move into the best possible position for birth.
Healthy Birth
During prenatal chiropractic care, HCW analyzes and adjusts the sacrum throughout pregnancy to let the baby comfortably maneuver into the vertex position. The results include an easier birth and optimal health benefits for both mother and newborn. Research indicates that a woman who undergoes chiropractic care during pregnancy often times experiences less discomfort during delivery and can expect up to a 39% reduction in labor time. There also has been a high reported success rate of babies turning to the normal vertex position despite breech presentations.
Healthy Children
The birth process can be very traumatic to a newborn, especially to the neck. Any misalignments that occur at this time can have adverse effects on the child's developing spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care provides correction of such imbalances and regular checkups provide effective preventative maintenance for infants and kids to 12 years of age.

From Fearful to Confident
"I was really afraid to go to a chiropractor. Even though I believed in the concept of chiropractic care, I was still very hesitant. I watched a friend receive an adjustment elsewhere, and the technique I witnessed frightened me even more. At Hornback Chiropractic & Wellness, P.A., Dr. Cindy Hornback was very reassuring, and she explained the various techniques available. Dr.Cindy's knowledge and sensitivity to my fears gave me the confidence to finally work on my low back pain and wrist pain. Now I actually look forward to my appointments, and they really have helped my husband and me."
