Pregnancy & Pediatric Chiropractic in Villanova

pregnant person with hands on stomach From all trimesters of pregnancy to every stage of childhood, chiropractic care offers a natural approach to supporting optimal health and development. Dr. David Mann uses gentle adjusting techniques (no cracking or popping!) that offer safe and effective health care to moms-to-be and kids of all ages.

Enjoy a Comfortable Pregnancy

One of the many benefits of prenatal chiropractic care is it’s safe throughout all stages of pregnancy. Dr. Mann uses gentle techniques and specialized equipment to accommodate pregnant women comfortably.

Benefits include reducing pelvic discomfort, improving fetal positioning, and easing labor and delivery. In one particularly memorable case, Dr. Mann made a house call to assist a patient in active labor, helping to loosen her pelvis and adjust the baby’s position for a successful delivery.

Safe, Effective, Gentle Care

Dr. Mann has advanced training in techniques specifically designed to support expectant mothers and optimize fetal positioning. He focuses on balancing pelvic muscles and ligaments, potentially improving birth outcomes and Mom’s comfort. As a graduate of Logan University, Dr. Mann is proficient in “Logan Basic” technique. That optimizes a balanced nervous system and allows for an adjustment that is easily delivered.

Helping Kids Flourish

Dr. Mann provides chiropractic care for infants, children, and teens. For newborns, adjustments primarily involve gentle vibrations to promote proper movement and development. This can help with common issues like digestive problems and excessive spitting up. As kids grow, chiropractic care can address various concerns:

Earaches
Torticollis (locked neck)
Growing pains

Sports-related injuries
Scoliosis
Balancing the nervous system to optimize growth

Rest assured that Dr. Mann adapts his techniques to suit each child’s comfort level. For example, when adjusting a nervous patient’s neck, he uses a gentler rocking motion instead of traditional manipulations. This flexibility helps kids feel at ease during treatments.

One of our young patient success stories involves a child with Tourette syndrome. After about 10 adjustments, the child experienced a significant reduction in tics, likely due to improved nervous system function.

Preventative Care and Long-term Benefits

Just like taking your child to the dentist twice a year can keep their smile healthy, regular chiropractic care can keep their nervous system tuned up. This type of preventative maintenance for children potentially reduces the risk of common adult problems like shoulder tightness, weak hips, knee pain and migraines. For growing children and young athletes, periodic check-ups can support proper development and injury prevention.
