Prenatal Chiropractic Care Promotes a More Comfortable & Safer Pregnancy Along with a Faster Delivery
With the body changing drastically, the spinal column itself moves to accommodate a child and the extra weight during pregnancy. The pelvis undergoes many changes to compensate for the growing baby as well. Risk of misalignments and interference of the nervous system can increase as pregnancy continues. The pelvis supports the growing uterus with specific ligaments. If the bones of the pelvis are out of alignment, this will cause asymmetrical ligament support of the uterus. This results in a more difficult passage for the baby during delivery.
These structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord, disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Our West Orange Chiropractor, Dr. Carmine Allonardo, DC, can adjust the spine and extremities to help the body feel relaxed and subside pain or soreness.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care Promotes Healthier Infants, Children, and Teenagers
When children come into this world, their bodies will be subjected to various kinds of stress. Even at birth, infants can be susceptible to spinal misalignment due to fetal positions in utero, a slow birth, or a c-section. A brief pediatric check-up is not designed to detect possible “hidden damage” that a chiropractic exam would discover.
Early detection is the key to preventing potential pain or discomfort in the future. As a child develops, things can happen along the way. Poor posture, falls or injuries during athletic activities can all affect how the body properly develops if there are misalignments in the spine.

Children are Happy and Healthy with Regular Chiropractic Care
The first thing we will do is conduct a thorough history of your child’s health and any complaints. This is followed by a complete physical examination of the child’s spine.
When Dr. Allonardo performs spinal adjustments for infants and young children, it will involve a gentle fingertip pressure to correct spinal misalignments. This will gently restore mobility to spinal joints. A child’s spine generally responds faster compared to an adult’s spine. The actual number of adjustments will vary depending on many factors, such as the length of time the problem has been present. Parents can feel confident about the safety of chiropractic for their child since it is non-invasive and medication free.
