Prenatal Chiropractic
Dr. Annika Larson has completed the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association seminars and is thrilled to offer care for expectant mothers. Chiropractic care for pregnant women has been shown to decrease labor times, increase recovery, and help keep mom comfortable during pregnancy. Dr. Annika Larson has been trained in the Webster Technique. This technique aids in decreasing round ligament pain and improves the neuro-biomechanical function of the sacrum and pelvis. By having proper neuro-biomechanical function, this leads to more comfort during pregnancy.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Dr. Annika Larson loves working with children of all ages. Pediatric chiropractic is a safe and effective way to help your child if you are looking for an alternative option. Pediatric chiropractic care has been shown to help infants latch, improve sleep, and improve digestive discomforts such as colic or gas. Chiropractic care for children can help with motor developments such as rolling, crawling, sitting, standing and walking. It is often recommended to get your child checked by a pediatric chiropractor during their developing years to help their nervous system function at its optimal potential. A pediatric adjustment is typically a sustained hold on a segment with little pressure, much like checking if a tomato is ripe!
