prenatal/postnatal chiropractic
Chiropractic care can be a game changer for pregnancy. As baby or babies grow in-utero the pregnant person’s body goes through massive changes which can lead to pain, strains and altered movement patterns. We strongly believe that pregnancy can be pain-free and enjoyable for all.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is gentle and safe. It looks to align the spine and pelvis to reduce stress on the body while relaxing tight muscles and ligaments. This not only helps reduce discomfort during pregnancy, but can also assist in preparing the body for labour and delivery. We have routinely assisted clients with common ailments of pregnancy such as: round ligament pain, pubic symphysis dysfunction (SPD), low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, waddling, among others.
Chiropractic care in the postnatal space can have a huge impact on mom’s physical and mental health. Improving the function of the spine and pelvis, allows mom to move through their daily tasks pain-free. When looking at chiropractic care after pregnancy, we are ensuring that joints are functioning as they should and soft tissues are able to move the body in the best way possible. Pregnancy causes significant changes in the body, and chiropractic care provides support in the healing process.
As with prenatal chiropractic care, the goal is to align the spine and pelvis, while relaxing tight muscles and ligaments. In the postnatal space, this becomes extremely important with common aches and pains such as, midback pain, headaches, neck pain or stiffness, low back pain, unresolved pelvic girdle pain, and carpal tunnel, among others
paediatric chiropractic
Chiropractic care is for everybody, even our little ones. Birth itself can be very hard on an infant and chiropractic care can help assess for any tension, misalignment and asymmetries. Dr. Casey has a wealth of knowledge and experience in paediatric care and can help with things such as:
- Latching difficulties
- Irritability
- Colic
- Gas
- Constipation
- Torticollis
- Plagiocephaly
- Pre and post-frenectomy
- Missed/ delayed Milestones
- General wellness and development
Dr. Casey believes early assessment on infants, ideally within the first month of life, allows proactive identification of potential issues, prevents more serious complications from arising, and makes care more manageable.

pelvic health physio
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that works with the pelvic floor, core and diaphragm to improve function of the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic organs. The pelvic floor serves as a bowl or hammock for the pelvic organs, including the bladder, colon and uterus.
Most commonly people visit a pelvic health physiotherapist postpartum, but they are able to provide support, guidance and a plan of management prenatally to help with labour and delivery, for males or females who have not been pregnant who are struggling with incontinence, frequent or infrequent urination, constipation, low back pain and more.
acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of treatment based on 3000+ yr old Chinese Medicine principles. A Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) or Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCMP) is well
informed and can best form a treatment protocol based on your specific symptoms. Studies have demonstrated direct effects of acupuncture on the central nervous system.
1. Additionally, acupuncture modulates parasympathetic activity, the branch of the nervous system associated with rest, relaxation, digestion and tissue healing
2. Overall, as the needles help to increase blood circulation it helps to push out any fluids that may be sitting still in your body. In Chinese medicine, when these fluids are still we consider that to be an accumulation or stagnation which can result in the abnormal symptoms that you may be experiencing.
Acupuncture has been shown to have great benefits for fertility, milk production for lactation support, postnatal healing, prenatal support, painful periods, among other things.
registered massage therapy
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues, including muscle tissue, ligaments, tendons, fascia and joints, with the goal of optimizing health, and restoring function.

It is an effective treatment for a variety health related goals such as management and treatment of chronic pain, acute injury treatment, injury prevention, and prenatal/postnatal care. Your massage therapist will work with you to assess your areas of concern, and to develop an approach to treatment that will best help you achieve your healthcare goals.
