Our Specialized Care Programs

Prenatal & Postnatal Care

Pregnancy brings dramatic changes to a woman's body, often resulting in back pain, pelvic discomfort, and other challenges. Dr. Orlandini is certified in the Webster Technique and other pregnancy-safe methods to help expectant mothers enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy and potentially easier delivery.

Benefits of prenatal chiropractic care:

• Reduced back and pelvic pain during pregnancy
• Optimal baby positioning for delivery
• Decreased labor time and complications
• Better postural adaptation to body changes
• Improved nervous system function for mom and baby
• Faster postpartum recovery

After delivery, we help new mothers recover from the physical stress of childbirth while adapting to the demands of caring for a newborn. Dr. Orlandini even adjusted his own children minutes after birth!

Pediatric Conditions

Children aren't just small adults - they require specialized gentle techniques. Dr. Orlandini has adjusted babies as young as 4 hours old, using pressure no firmer than you'd use to test a tomato's ripeness.

Common pediatric conditions we treat:

• Colic and excessive crying
• Sleep difficulties and restlessness
• Ear infections and immune challenges
• Developmental delays and milestone support
• Growing pains and posture issues
• Sports injuries in young athletes
• ADHD and sensory processing support

Many parents are amazed at how chiropractic care helps their children thrive, often seeing improvements in areas they didn't expect like behavior, sleep, and immune function.

Geriatric Care

At 98 years young, our oldest patient proves that you're never too old to benefit from chiropractic care. Dr. Orlandini specializes in gentle techniques that help seniors maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Activator Method for Sensitive Patients

Perfect for infants, seniors, or anyone preferring instrument-assisted adjustments. This FDA-approved tool delivers precise, gentle corrections without any twisting or "cracking."
