West University Wellness
Pregnancy Massage, Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care in Houston
Are you experiencing neck, shoulder or back pain due to your pregnancy?
If you are pregnant, one of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby is see a Doctor of Chiropractic. Chiropractic care provides so many things a pregnant body needs: a flexible and balanced spine, hips, and pelvis; internal organs without postural stress and freedom from nerve stress – all essential for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Drs. Long and Yeager of West University Wellness in Houston TX, specialize in using gentle and effective chiropractic and acupuncture treatments to help you through a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Because each patient is individual, we use a variety of techniques, which are best suited to each patient's needs.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles into specific body points to improve health and well-being. In recent years, scientific inquiry has begun to shed more light on acupuncture's possible mechanisms and potential benefits, especially in treating low back pain, headaches, arthritis, allergies, smoking cessation, and weight loss. Dr. Yeager and Dr. Long are both certified through the Texas Chiropractic Board in acupuncture.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic Adjustments
Dr. Long is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association in treating pregnant women with back pain, premature contractions, breech turning, headaches, and back labor. We also offer chiropractic treatments for infants and older children. Chiropractic care can help such conditions as colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems, and reflux. It can also assist in childhood problems such as ADD/ADHD, asthma, allergies, ear infections, diarrhea, and constipation.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage
We have two licensed and experienced massage therapists to provide top-quality therapy services such as Deep Tissue, Sports, Pregnancy, and Swedish massage that often times is covered by health insurance. Pregnancy Massage is safe for those who have just conceived all the way up to delivery and post-partum. We use special pillows and other equipment to make our moms-to-be and new moms comfortable, especially when neck, back and hip pain can affect them during this incredible stage of life. And massage therapy works wonderfully with other alternative medicine treatments like chiropractic and acupuncture!
