Frequently asked questions

First, we’ll talk!

We want to hear what’s bringing you in, what you’re experiencing, and what you’d like to accomplish. Whether you’re dealing with discomfort, preparing for birth, or bringing in your newborn, your story helps us understand how we can best support you.

We’ll review your health history, perform an appropriate chiropractic examination, and explain what we’re finding along the way. When appropriate, we’ll discuss treatment options and may begin care during that first visit.

We also love sharing practical suggestions you can take home, whether that’s a simple stretch, a change in how you’re sleeping, or a different way to move through your day.

Our goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and confident about your next steps. There’s always room for questions!

We believe quality chiropractic care should be accessible, straightforward, and affordable for families.

We offer several payment options, depending on how often you choose to come in:

• Pay per visit: A convenient option when you prefer to schedule as needed.
• Packages: Purchase visits in advance at a reduced per-visit rate.
• Memberships: A convenient, cost-effective option for individuals and families who plan to visit regularly.

New clients have an initial visit fee, and we’ll help you understand your options before choosing what works best for you.

Chiropractic care focuses on how your spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system work together to help you move and function comfortably.

At Naturally Aligned, we believe your body was designed to do amazing things, but sometimes it needs a little help along the way. Through individualized chiropractic adjustments, movement recommendations, and practical lifestyle guidance, we work to improve mobility, address discomfort, and help you feel your best.

Whether you’re growing a baby, chasing a toddler, sitting at a desk all day, or simply trying to keep up with life, our goal is to help you move comfortably and enjoy the things that matter most.

Because life is better when you’re aligned!

A chiropractic adjustment is a specific, controlled movement applied to a joint to help improve mobility and address areas of restriction or discomfort.

Not every adjustment looks or feels the same! Some involve a quick, gentle movement of the joint, while others use light pressure or specialized instruments.

We choose our techniques based on your age, comfort level, and individual needs. An adjustment for a pregnant mom looks different from one for a newborn, and both look different from care for an active teenager.

Our goal is always to provide care that’s appropriate for you and your body.

That depends on you!

Your body, your goals, and the reason you’re seeking care all play a role in how frequently we recommend appointments.

Someone working through a recent injury or significant discomfort may benefit from a different schedule than an expecting mom who wants to stay comfortable as her pregnancy progresses.

We’ll discuss our recommendations with you, explain our reasoning, and adjust the plan as your needs change.

We want chiropractic care to work for your body, your schedule, and your family.

Absolutely! We’re a family-focused practice, and little ones are always welcome!

We’ve been caring for growing families since 2009, so we know that getting to an appointment often means bringing a baby (or two!) along. We’ve designed our spaces with families in mind, complete with toys, changing tables, extra diapers, nursing pillows, and just about everything you might need to make your visit a little easier.

Whether you need to nurse your baby, change a diaper, or keep a toddler entertained, we want you to feel comfortable and right at home.

Because taking care of yourself shouldn’t mean having to find a babysitter!

We get this question a lot!

At Naturally Aligned, we’ve chosen to operate independently of insurance companies so we can keep things simple, spend more time caring for our patients, and offer affordable payment options.

Without insurance billing, there are fewer administrative demands and fewer restrictions on how we structure your care. That gives us more time to do the things we love: listen to your concerns, demonstrate stretches, answer questions, and share practical ways to support your health.

You can pay per visit, purchase a package, or choose a membership if regular care makes sense for your family.

And yes, we accept HSA and FSA payments for eligible services! We recommend confirming eligibility with your individual plan.

We want healthcare decisions to be made between you and your provider, with your needs and goals guiding the conversation.

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, and while some discomfort is common, that doesn’t mean you have to simply put up with it!

As your baby grows, your posture, center of gravity, and the demands on your muscles and joints change. It’s no surprise that many moms experience back pain, hip discomfort, pelvic pain, or difficulty getting comfortable at night.

Our doctors have additional training in caring for pregnant women and use techniques and positioning specifically adapted for pregnancy. We take time to understand your pregnancy, your concerns, and how your body is responding before determining what care is appropriate.

Our goal is simple: help you stay comfortable, keep moving, and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible.

These are some of the most common reasons expecting moms come to see us!

As pregnancy progresses, your body makes incredible changes to accommodate your growing baby. Those changes can also place new demands on your muscles, joints, and posture.

We frequently see women experiencing low back discomfort, SI joint pain, hip pain, and discomfort around the pubic bone. Our goal is to identify the musculoskeletal factors contributing to your discomfort and determine whether chiropractic care may help.

We also love giving you practical tools to use between visits, including movement suggestions, simple stretches, and comfortable sleeping positions.

We want you to be able to keep up with your toddler, enjoy your daily activities, and continue moving through pregnancy as comfortably as possible.

Finding out your baby is breech can create a lot of questions (and stress), especially as your due date gets closer.

Our doctors have training in the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and facilitates biomechanical balance in pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. This has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Our goal is to balance your pelvis, create space for baby and ease for you.

You don’t need to wait until something hurts!

Some women begin chiropractic care early in pregnancy, while others reach out when discomfort starts making everyday activities more difficult. We also see moms who are well into their third trimester and simply want help managing the physical changes they’re experiencing.

There’s no single right time to start. We’ll consider where you are in your pregnancy, your health history, and your individual needs.

Whether you’re newly pregnant or counting down the weeks until meeting your baby, we’re happy to discuss how we may be able to support you.

Whenever you’re ready and it’s appropriate for your recovery.

Birth is an incredible physical experience, and your body continues to change in the weeks and months afterward.

Many moms notice new discomfort from feeding positions, holding their baby, interrupted sleep, or simply adjusting to the physical demands of postpartum life.

We’ll consider your birth experience, recovery, symptoms, and any medical precautions when determining when and how to resume care. If you’ve had a cesarean birth or complications, we may recommend coordinating with your maternity-care provider.

And remember, taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your growing family.

Yes! We’re excited to offer another way to support moms and babies at Naturally Aligned.

Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes you need a little guidance, reassurance, or someone to help you sort through all the information and advice you’re receiving.

Dr. Amber provides personalized lactation education and practical support with feeding, positioning, latch, and common breastfeeding questions.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby, working through challenges with your newborn, or simply looking for reassurance, our goal is to help you feel more comfortable, informed, and confident in your feeding journey.

We’re here to support you and your baby as you learn together.

Absolutely! Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it always comes easily. And when you’re exhausted, recovering from birth, and trying to figure everything out, feeding challenges can feel overwhelming.

One of the unique things about our approach at Naturally Aligned is that Dr. Amber brings several areas of training to the table, including lactation support, pediatric chiropractic care, and craniosacral therapy (CST). This allows her to look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on just one piece of the puzzle.

During your visit, we’ll talk about your baby’s feeding patterns, explore positioning and latch, and assess movement and areas of tension that may be contributing to discomfort. Depending on your baby’s needs, we can draw from several approaches and offer practical suggestions to try at home, often addressing multiple concerns in a single appointment.

Sometimes a simple adjustment to positioning makes a meaningful difference. Other times, feeding challenges require a more comprehensive evaluation. We value a team approach and may recommend additional support from your baby’s pediatrician or another specialist when appropriate.

Our goal is to help you better understand your baby, feel more confident feeding them, and leave with practical tools to make your days a little easier.

It looks very different from an adult adjustment!

Babies have developing bodies, so our approach is incredibly gentle and always tailored to their age, comfort, and individual needs. We begin by listening to your concerns, observing how your baby moves, and looking for areas of tension or restricted movement.

When appropriate, we use the lightest touch and gentle, age-appropriate techniques. Your baby will often be snuggled in a comfy pillow during the session, as we follow their cues throughout the visit.

But there’s so much more to our appointments than the adjustment itself! We love helping parents understand normal infant development and sharing practical tips, gentle stretches, and positioning suggestions they can use at home to encourage comfortable movement as their baby grows.

Our goal is for you to leave feeling reassured, informed, and confident in caring for your little one.

Little bodies are different from grown-up bodies, and they deserve a different approach!

At Naturally Aligned, we’ve pursued additional training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care because we believe caring for children requires specific knowledge, thoughtful assessment, and age-appropriate techniques.

We begin by listening to your concerns, reviewing your child’s health history, and assessing whether chiropractic care is appropriate. When indicated, we use techniques adapted to your child’s age, size, and comfort.

No two children are exactly alike, and we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our goal is for both you and your child to feel comfortable, informed, and cared for.

There’s no required age or schedule for a newborn’s first chiropractic appointment.

Some families reach out because they’ve noticed their baby seems uncomfortable with certain movements or positions, while others simply have questions about their baby’s musculoskeletal development.

We begin with a detailed health history and an age-appropriate assessment, discuss what you’re noticing at home, and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.

Not every concern requires an adjustment, and we’ll always encourage you to involve your pediatric provider when symptoms need medical evaluation.

Every baby is different, and sometimes parents notice little things that leave them wondering whether their baby is comfortable.

Maybe your baby consistently turns their head one direction, seems uncomfortable in certain positions, has difficulty settling during feeds, or you’ve noticed some flattening on one side of their head.

These are all good reasons to ask questions and have your baby’s movement, positioning, and development assessed.

During a visit, Dr. Amber takes time to understand your baby’s history, feeding patterns, and movement preferences. With training in pediatric chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and lactation support, she can consider several aspects of your baby’s comfort and development while helping you understand which approaches or additional evaluations may be appropriate.

We also share practical positioning and movement suggestions you can use at home, because we want parents to feel confident caring for their babies, not dependent on ongoing appointments.

Think about how uncomfortable it feels when your own neck or shoulders are tight. Babies can also have areas of muscle tension or limited movement, and they don’t have the words to tell us what they’re feeling!

During a session, we observe how your baby moves and use gentle touch to assess areas that may feel tight or restricted. We also consider positioning preferences, feeding movements, and developmental patterns to help guide our recommendations.

Our goal is to encourage comfortable movement while giving parents a better understanding of their baby’s individual needs.
