Pregnancy Care
At Atlas Family Chiropractic, we take care of pregnant mothers for the number one complaint during pregnancy - low back pain. There are many structural changes and physiological changes during pregnancy and our moms find that being under our neurologically based chiropractic care before, during, and after pregnancy, helps them to be more comfortable. It allows the mother and the child to adapt and function the natural way it was intended to do during this beautiful process.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy complements the normal physiological function of both the mother and the baby in pregnancy and birth. In the mother, chiropractic care prepares the pelvis for pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments. Chiropractic adjustments reduce interference to the mother’s vital nervous system, which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions.
To the infant, chiropractic care reduces interference to the mother’s nervous system.

Patient Testimonials
I had issues with my neck and could not turn my head to the left. I also had panic attacks which I had no idea chiropractic could help. Dr. Glen explained removing nerve interference would allow my body and brain to function better. Try it, listen to your body and it will let you know how it will be working for you. I now have full motion in my neck. Mary
Dr. Glen’s chiro care should be a requirement for prevention of conditions. Getting regular adjustments has made a world of difference. First the headaches went away, then my back has gotten much better and I continue with treatments to prevent these headaches and pain. It feels better to have an adjustment rather than to take pain medication to cover the symptom but never address the cause. You can gain better results with adjustments. Tina T
