Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic

At First Choice Family Chiropractic we specialize in gentle, effective chiropractic care.  Our approach to chiropractic care is foundational for a clear brain-body connection. Chiropractic works by removing what is called spinal subluxations.  Spinal subluxations are when there is dysfunction in the bones of the spine.  Spinal subluxations affect the way we perceive and interact with our environment, limiting our potential. Chiropractors are the only health care providers trained to specifically located and remove subluxations.  Since we live our lives through our nervous system Dr. Katrina Sokolowski and Dr. Brittany Forrester work to remove the interference in our nervous system, caused by spinal subluxations, by making simple adjustments to the spine.  These adjustments to the spine are made using a chiropractic technique called Activator Methods.   This gentle chiropractic technique is safe and effective in all ages from birth to death.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Dr. Katrina specializes in Chiropractic for the pregnant Mommas.  This helps mom and baby prepare for birth making the delivery process optimal for the health of both Mom and Baby.  The reason we specialize in prenatal chiropractic care is because it contributes to optimal fetal position in the Womb.  Prenatal chiropractic care helps achieve pelvic balance, giving babies a better chance of moving into an ideal position for birth.  Optimal position at the time of birth also results in an easier labor and a safer delivery for both mom and baby.

Dr. Katrina has had extra specialized training in Prenatal chiropractic care.  She has worked with pregnant patients for more than 15 years helping to improve pelvic balance and healthier pregnancies.

Pregnant Women under chiropractic care may benefit from Less back pain, reduced pelvic and round ligament discomfort, reduction in preeclampsia, pelvic balance, shorter labor times, less back labor, reduced need for pain medications, more comfort while breastfeeding, greater milk production, less incidence of postpartum depression.

Pediatric Chiropractic

Most Chiropractors are adequately trained to handle the needs of children; however both of our Chiropractors have taken a special interest in treating infants and children.  They are specially trained to help treat children and infants with multiple concerns such as; digestion troubles, sleep problems, behavioral concerns, respiratory concerns and overall health and wellness.

Your child’s way to wellness is to ensure your child’s nervous system is free from interference and stress.  Removing subluxations enhances appropriate development, optimizing their potential for health.  Chiropractic works to remove the subluxations therefore making our children more adaptable to stress in various forms.  Infant and children’s adjustments look different from adult adjustments.  Often, the parents hardly notice when the adjustment has taken place on their little ones.

Sports Chiropractic

Just like all athletes need to take a special interest in to training and their nutrition, taking care of their spine and joints should be top priority.  Chiropractic is being used in many major sports as well as the Olympics.  It is important to keep optimal health and function by removing subluxations from the spine.  This allows the brain to perceive the world around it accurately.  What this means for athletes is that they recover faster and heal quicker from injuries and difficult workouts.  Chiropractors are the only doctors trained to specifically locate and remove subluxations.  Injury prevention and injury recovery are essential in a healthy athlete. Dr. Katrina an Dr. Forrester have worked with many athletes to achieve the highest level of performance and injury prevention.  Dr Forrester has worked with athletes from all over the country using Functional Neurology & Chiropractic to help them perform at their very best.
