Family Chiropractic Services in Lincoln Park

How can chiropractic care help you and your family?

Your spine is your body’s superhighway – it is the foundation of your skeletal and nervous system. If it’s out of alignment, chances are you may be experiencing pain, discomfort, and other ailments that might not seem connected to your spine but are related. 

Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the body’s main structures – the spine, skeleton, nerves, and muscles – and the patient’s health.  As family chiropractors, we work to improve and preserve health for every member of your family by making adjustments to these structures, particularly in the spinal column so the body can heal without the use of medications or surgery.

At Back Home Chiropractic in Lincoln Park, we believe that your body WANTS to heal and can repair itself if the body is in optimal alignment. And we believe that chiropractic care is for the whole family – dads, moms, moms-to-be, infants and kids.

If you or your child is experiencing pain or discomfort in some part of the body, we can help jumpstart the natural healing process by using chiropractic techniques that properly align the spine. Common ailments like headaches, insomnia, joint/nerve pain, back/neck/shoulder pain, sciatica, digestive issues, ear infections, and asthma can be improved with continued chiropractic care. 

Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and that it needs help to get back to its natural way of working. Benefits of ongoing chiropractic care may include:

• Pain relief (back pain, shoulder pain, joint pain, knee pain, etc.)
• Improved joint mobility
• Chronic headache reduction
• Migraine relief and reduction
• Strengthened immune system
• Ideal fetal positioning/repositioning
• Less pregnancy/prenatal discomfort
• Improved menstrual health
• Fewer digestive issues/IBS relief
• Better sleep
• Improved focus

Prenatal Chiropractic Care 

Your body changes dramatically during pregnancy. The additional weight and the changes to your pelvis to accommodate the growing baby can disrupt the communication channels between your brain and your body. Pregnancy can impact your nerves and pull your spine out of alignment, resulting in pain or discomfort. 

We know how important proper alignment is for healthy pregnancies and that’s why at Back Home Chiropractic, we specialize in prenatal chiropractic care. Dr. Bridget Monaghan is also certified in the Webster Technique, which can help moms-to-be encourage their breech baby to flip naturally and optimize fetal positioning. 

Research shows that chiropractic care before, during, and after birth is highly beneficial and can result in a more comfortable, healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Seeing a chiropractor is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive way to relieve pain and discomfort during pregnancy. 

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and other organizations have published a tremendous amount of research supporting the beneficial effects of chiropractic care in pregnancy and for children. Learn more on that here: ICPA.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care 

Children can benefit from chiropractic care too! Infants may experience spinal misalignment from their position in utero or during the birthing process. These misalignments, if left untreated, can result in pain and discomfort (and nonstop crying!) from conditions such as colic and ear infections. 

As your child grows, there are bound to be misalignments or injuries that can affect how their body develops and their overall health and well-being. Pediatric chiropractic care can alleviate symptoms and correct misalignments that could cause issues down the road. 

At Back Home Chiropractic, we can safely and naturally help your child’s system work to improve with the following: 

• ADD and ADHD
• Asthma
• Colic
• Digestive issues
• Ear infections
• Reflux
• Sleep problems
• Torticullis
