CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Dr. Megan utilizes a variety of adjusting techniques based on the care and needs of the individual. From infants to pregnant women to adults, the chiropractic care and adjusting techniques can range from gentle pressure, to instrument assisted adjusting, to manual adjusting with the Palmer Package techniques.

Dr. Megan has a certificate of Proficiency with Pediatric and Family Chiropractic through Life University and the Pediatric Experience, and she is also certified in the Webster technique, which is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women to help balance and align the pelvis. This eliminates uterine tension to the muscles and ligaments and may enhance optimal fetal positioning.

 Functional Movement instruction

Dr. Megan works with all prenatal and postpartum women in her practice with proper core stability, breath work and functional movement to help aid in prenatal and postpartum healing of the core and pelvic floor. You can email her at primitivehealthchiro@gmail.com for more information if you are interested in the work that she does.

 THERAPIES

We utilize several different forms of therapies in our office. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, cold laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, trigger point therapy, therapeutic cupping and taping, just to name a few, are some of the therapies that we use and have available in the office. We also work on posture and breath, as well as functional movement, to help re-establish function. We believe that a healthy foundation is a stable and dynamic system; whereas a weak foundation is stable only with and due to compensation. We will discuss these options and others at each visit, and we will work with the individual based on their wants and needs for care.

Melissa also performs craniosacral therapy and reflexology to our patients and clients, and since she has started seeing people in our office, we have heard nothing but great reviews on the services that she provides. She is available for appointments Monday-Thursday during the week. You can call the office at (563) 873-5422 or click the button below to schedule an appointment with her.
