A Therapeutic Effect provides specialty care for women that are pregnant, postpartum or menopausal, as well as for alleviating symptoms of menopause. Chiropractic care and massage therapy can be beneficial for the postpartum body as it recovers from the strain of pregnancy and delivery. Many symptoms of menopause can be relieved by massage, including headaches, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression and more.

Office manager and former massage therapist Kate Waldron says, “As an expectant mother’s body changes to accommodate her growing baby, chiropractic care and massage can aid in reducing neuromuscular and biomechanical stressors on her body, as well as to prepare her body for labor and delivery. Swedish massage is deeply relaxing and is often the right modality for many women seeking to decrease these side effects. Our chiropractic adjusting tables are specially designed to allow for a baby bump, and our licensed massage therapists practice prenatal massage.”
