The basics

What is gentle care for pregnancy & childhood?

Gentle chiropractic for pregnancy and childhood uses light, low-force techniques that may help support comfort as the body changes and grows, and are considered a low-risk, well-tolerated approach for children² — with an emphasis on wellness, not on treating disease.

Pregnancy asks a lot of the low back and pelvis, and growing, active kids put everyday demands on their spines too. Our aim is to help you feel more comfortable and move more easily — many pregnant patients find gentle care may ease pregnancy-related back and pelvic discomfort³, though the evidence is still limited, and we use gentle, well-tolerated techniques for children. Care is tailored to each person and stage, always gentle, and focused on function and general wellness rather than curing any condition. If anything falls outside what chiropractic can help with, we’ll say so and point you toward the right care.

The signs

When families come in.

Low-back or pelvic discomfort during pregnancy
Sciatica-type discomfort while expecting
Posture and balance changes as the body shifts

Kids’ posture — slouching or sitting habits
Sports strain or heavy-backpack aches
Wellness checks as active kids grow

This isn’t a diagnosis, and chiropractic doesn’t treat illness in infants or children. If your child is unwell or you have concerns during pregnancy, please see your physician or OB — we’re glad to work alongside them.

Where it starts

What’s changing.

A body in pregnancy

As posture shifts and the pelvis adapts to make room, the low back and hips carry new demands — and comfort can change week to week.

Growing, active kids

Sports, play, and fast growth spurts all ask a lot of a young spine, and posture habits are still forming.

Everyday strains

Heavy backpacks, long hours at a desk or screen, and simple daily habits add up over time for kids and parents alike.

Our approach

Our gentle approach.

Calm, careful, and paced to the person in front of us — every visit is built around comfort first.

A careful consultation

We take time to understand where you are — the stage of pregnancy, or your child’s age and activities — and answer every question before anything begins.

Gentle, low-force techniques

Light, low-force methods suited to pregnancy and to kids — no forceful twisting — adjusted to be comfortable for each person and stage.

Comfort & everyday function

The goal is to support comfort, posture, and easy movement through daily life — with simple guidance you can carry between visits.

Pregnancy & pediatric, specifically

Questions parents ask us

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is commonly used during pregnancy, and gentle, low-force techniques are often chosen for comfort³; some studies report benefits for pregnancy-related back and pelvic discomfort, though the research is favorable but limited, and Dr. Marrone tailors care to your stage and how you’re feeling. We use positioning and light techniques chosen for comfort, and we’re happy to coordinate with your OB or midwife. If anything is outside what chiropractic supports, we’ll tell you and refer you on.

Is adjusting a child safe, and does it hurt?

Care for kids uses very light, gentle pressure — much softer than what’s used with adults⁴ — and any reactions are usually mild and short-lived, most often temporary soreness⁵. It’s not forceful, and there’s no aggressive cracking. We always go at the child’s pace, and we focus on comfort and wellness, not on treating illness.

Can chiropractic treat conditions in my baby or child?

No. Chiropractic care here is about comfort, posture, and general wellness as kids grow — it doesn’t diagnose or treat illness or disease. If your child is sick or you have a health concern, please see your pediatrician; we’re glad to work alongside your family’s medical team.

When in pregnancy can I come in?

Parents visit at every stage, and care is adapted as your body changes. Comfortable positioning and light techniques are used throughout. If you have a higher-risk pregnancy or specific concerns, check with your OB or midwife first — and we’ll coordinate care with them.

Do I need a referral to bring my child or myself in?

No referral is needed — you can book directly. Start with a free consultation so we can understand your goals, answer questions, and give an honest sense of whether gentle chiropractic is a good fit. There’s no pressure and no obligation.
