Children's Chiropractic
Hood River Chiropractor serving the Columbia River Gorge and the Greater Portland Area
Chiropractic care for adults makes sense, right? A lifetime of physical, environmental, and mental stress on the body followed by an adjustment to realign the areas that are “out of place” seems natural! What about for kids? Or even crazier…infants?!? Why would they ever need Chiropractic care?
​
The truth is, infants undergo a very traumatic incident on the day they are born! They are often pulled forcefully out into this world, whether through the birth canal or via C-section. This can often compromise the nervous system that is constantly developing so rapidly throughout their first several years in this new world.
​
This interference within the nervous system can take energy away from the body doing all of its normal, healthy functions which ultimately takes away from an infant or child's overall health. This is why Chiropractic care for children is so fantastic. By removing these barriers to your child’s overall health early and periodically throughout their lives, their body is able to focus on more important things, like developing new skills and making new neural connections in their brain!

Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy
Hood River Chiropractor serving the Columbia River Gorge and the Greater Portland Area
The ligaments that support the uterus during pregnancy are closely related and sensitive to the position of your sacrum and pelvis. If the bones in this region are misaligned,it could cause any of these ligaments to tug on the uterine wall, creating undo tension within the uterus.
Balancing your pelvis with Chiropractic care not only allows your baby greater room to develop without restrictions to her/his developing skull, spine, and other skeletal structures, but creates ample room for them to move into the best possible position for birth. It can also help reduce any discomfort you might have as you get used to the many changes that your body goes through during this amazing journey!

Functional Medicine
Hood River Chiropractor serving the Columbia River Gorge and the Greater Portland Area
Functional Medicine is a way of looking at the body as more than the sum of its parts. We use a systems-based approach to help identify and address the root cause of someone's symptoms. Dr. Jen has been studying functional medicine for several years above and beyond her Chiropractic education and is always continuing to further this knowledge. She utilizes lifestyle recommendations/modifications, functional diagnostic testing, as well as nutrition and supplementation protocols to help you achieve a more balanced life. Some of the diagnostic tests used include:
-Comprehensive stool or urine analysis
-Food intolerance testing
-Nutritional deficiency testing
-Salivary hormone testing
