The most important time for a baby to be adjusted is in-utero. You will give your child the best start possible. As every Chiropractic Adjustment releases the interference between the brain and body for you, it does the same for your unborn baby. Of course, it makes sure your alignment is balanced and ready for preparing for your natural birth. Dr. Tiffany is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, Holistic Pediatric Alliance, Epic Pediatrics, NDCA, WCA, ICA and she contributes her time and resources to many local community organizations via speaking and writing.
