CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND ACUPUNCTURE
Dr. Amelia Rodrock is a family wellness and pediatric chiropractor specializing in the treatment of women (pre and post natal), infants and children. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy plays an important role in the health of both the mother and growing child. It keeps the mother feeling comfortable, while enabling her to cope with the physical changes going on in her body. Dr. Amelia uses the Webster's Technique to aid in the treatment of pregnant mothers. The Webster's Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. In so doing, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved. Dr. Amelia also specializes in the use of acupuncture to help induce labor. Acupuncture can stimulate oxytocin to be produced, which is the natural hormone that initiates labor. Acupuncture can also create a state of calm for the mother helping her body naturally go into labor. Dr. Amelia's mission is to help as many people in her lifetime as she can, especially children.

PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION
Placenta Encapsulation
by Stephanie Hein,
Shine Postpartum
Often referred to as the Tree of Life, the placenta is an incredible organ! During your pregnancy, it nourishes your growing baby, and produces the hormones essential to the progression of a health pregnancy. After giving birth, you can continue to receive the benefits of this amazing organ, by encapsulating and consuming your placenta. Consuming your placenta has many benefits, and is a safe way to help your body transition from pregnancy back to its non pregnant state. My services help you to enjoy your first postpartum days, with the convenience and safety of a trained, on-call encapsulation specialist.
Ask for an encapsulation agreement at your appointment!
