Dr. Minors usually conducts an X-Ray exam of his patients to see exactly what may be contributing to the patient’s ailments. However, because pregnant women should not be exposed to radiation, Dr. Minors uses software that diagnoses spinal misalignment.

This examination is done in his office, FREE of radiation and intrusion, and only takes 15 minutes!

During pregnancy, the body releases the a chemical (Pitocin) that increases flexibility in the joints to help the birthing process.

To avoid birthing complications, pregnancy safe chiropractic adjustments align the pelvis to allow the body to do what it does best, naturally. 

Pregnancy Safe Massage Therapy and its Benefits
