Pregnancy and Pediatric Chiropractic in Murfreesboro
Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman’s life filled with new experiences, heightened excitement, mixed emotions, and significant physical changes. It’s also a time filled with many unanswered questions.
Chiropractic care is completely safe for Mom and the baby. Whether you start care at the beginning or at the end of your pregnancy, you can benefit from it. Even the midwives who refer patients to us come in for adjustment!

Why Do I Need Chiropractic Care?
As your baby grows, the added weight of your enlarged belly throws off your center of gravity, changing your posture and the way you walk. Muscles and ligaments are stretched, allowing the pelvis to move, causing a misalignment.
Ensuring both Baby and Mom adapt to the changes happening in her body is important for the baby’s development and positioning. Adjustments help relieve back, neck and shoulder pain, and prepare the muscles to function as they’re designed to do. Mom’s labor and delivery is faster and easier, with less need for intervention.
Growing Healthy Children
At Health 4 Life Chiropractic, we believe a healthy community begins with healthy families. That’s why we recommend all children be evaluated for spinal subluxations. Early detection is key to preventing long-term health problems.
Dr. Müller likes to share the story of how one of his daughters was born at home with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. He had to adjust her on the spot so that she could take her first breath.
Research shows the birth process is one of the most traumatic events we will ever experience. Both in utero and during the birth process, spinal bones can shift or get subluxated. That’s why it’s important to check and realign the spine to prevent issues like colic, ear infections, and decreased immune function from issues in the nervous system.
Many of our patients call us to their house when they’re having a home birth, on the way to the hospital, or they stop on the way home from the hospital to have their child checked. A lot of our patients are adjusted for the first time shortly after they are born.
