Chiropractic care provides countless benefits that a pregnant body needs including: correcting imbalances in the spine and pelvis which can become overtaxed during these times, alleviating stresses and discomforts from daily activities, alleviating nerve interference, keeping your hips, pelvis and uterus in balance to promote proper expansion as the baby grows, etc. These are all essential for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

One of the GREATEST reasons for seeking chiropractic care during pregnancy is that it is a drug free form of treatment for many aliments a woman goes through during her pregnancy.

The Gaston Technique:
Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively breakdown scar tissue and muscular adhesions. The Technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and treat areas exhibiting pain, tightness or loss of function.
Unlike the pads of the fingers which compress tissue, the instruments separate the individual fibers of tissue and “comb” out the restrictions, which allows for deeper penetration in the tissue. The stainless steel actually amplifies what the hands can feel, just as a stethoscope amplifies what the ear can hear when listening to the heart and lungs. We are excited to offer this new, cutting-edge treatment that is changing the way soft tissue injuries are being treated.
Dr. Christopher Berry is proud to be the only accredited Graston Technique® practitioner in Kern County. If you are curious about Graston Technique®, or still have lingering pain, stiffness or discomfort from an injury, please do not hesitate to ask us if this technique is appropriate for you.
Is Chiropractic Care Appropriate for Children:
Yes, children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly-skilled treatment and, in the case of children, very gentle.
