Dr. Jennifer Prax is a Charlottesville pregnancy chiropractor who focuses her care on mothers and children. She is certified in a chiropractic pregnancy technique called the Webster Technique, which can ease the birth process and help ensure the baby is in proper positioning before labor even begins. Her other therapies include a number of holistic techniques that can help a wide range of ailments and a type of therapy geared toward newborns and children. The specialty care can help alleviate chronic conditions in children and pave the way for optimum health.
Craniosacral therapy can be used for babies and children who have recurring conditions such as colic, ear infections, difficulty sleeping and overall crankiness. This therapy focuses on the craniosacral system, the system of membranes and fluids that protect the brain and spinal cord. The system creates a rhythmic pulsation, which Dr. Jennifer Prax can detect and use to discern if there are any possible imbalances in the system. She can then use gentle touch to correct any problems and unblock vital nerve signals. The treatment can take as few as 15 minutes and can be especially effective for addressing imbalances caused by the trauma of childbirth.
Therapeutic craniosacral techniques can be effective for children of all ages, including babies as young as a few days old. Our chiropractors can evaluate underlying conditions in children that could develop into more serious issues and correct those conditions before problems begin. If your child is suffering from a problem that would benefit from other therapies, medical evaluation including lab or imaging, rest assured that unlike many chiropractors, the Prax's work very closley in an integrative team approach with other doctors to determine the best route for you or your child's healing path. At Prax Chiropractic, visiting the chiropractor can be a family outing with specialized care that can benefit all members.
