Chatham Family Chiropractic - Dr. Jennifer Newman

We are so excited to welcome Aisha Wovenu to our space!

Aisha is a pediatric sleep consultant 👶💤 AND psychotherapist!

Swipe 👉 to see how she can help you and your little one achieve peaceful nights with a free discovery call.

You can also learn amore about the healing care she provides for those experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, shame, overwhelm, and more.

If the idea of someone manually "cracking" your back gives you anxiety (that’s not what’s actually happening, but we also know some patients need to ease into care, and that’s ok!), we have a great alternative tool called an 🌟activator🌟 that allows us to adjust you more gently.

We get it. Going to a new doctor can be intimidating. But trust us, taking care of your spine is an investment worth making! 👍

Even our stuffed animal patients approve! 😉

If your baby is dealing with constipation, then the algorithm wanted you to see this 😉

By now you’ve probably tried diet changes and supplements to help your child's constipation, but they're still struggling. We are here to support you and answer your questions.

The first thing you should know is that constipation is a symptom, not a root cause. 👀

When your baby’s body is stressed out their body isn't going to focus energy on digestion and gut motility.

Our main goal at Chatham Family Chiropractic is getting to the root cause and unwinding stuck tension 💥 within their body - so your kiddo can thrive naturally! 👶🏻

Adjustments for babies look VERY different than they do for adults, and we've seen 100s of babies in our practice.

Let’s work together and help your baby have more regular bowel movements 💩

Schedule now via the link in our bio.

If you're concerned about your kiddo's posture...here are 5 things that you can do at home to help!

⏰ Encourage breaks between sitting down to do their homework or other activities such as watching TV or playing video games.

🌳 Go outside and play! Visit a park and play on the playground, splash pad, put out the sprinkler...

🎮 Have your kiddo sit on a stability ball while watching TV or playing video games➡️ this encourages a stronger core and sitting up straight.

🧒 Encourage different positions, standing up to do work, sitting at a table, or lying down on the floor.

✔️ And of course, bring them to get adjusted 😉

Thank you so much for your glowing review, Christal!

Serving pregnant mamas in one of my FAVORITE things to do! 🤰

Full Review:
I have been a patient of Dr. Newman’s for years now and I would never think to look elsewhere !

I first was told of her by a friend when I was pregnant with my first. Let me just say through both of my pregnancies, I don’t know what I would’ve done without Dr. Newman!!! Her extensive training with prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care made a world of a difference for me. She helped to keep me comfortable and mobile when my babies were shifting my pelvic bones and I can honestly say Dr. Newman’s incredible care not only relieved so much pressure and pain, but overall made my births better in the long run by preparing my body and giving space for baby!
Following pregnancy, going back to regular care, I always leave her office feeling soooo much better and lighter! She is very attentive, and takes great care in her practice.

Dr. Newman is kind, compassionate, and cares about each and every one of her patients. I really cannot say enough good things about her!

I 100% recommend her!!

You may be wondering how chiropractic care can help you manage stress 🤔

When a chiropractor aligns the spine, that tension is released, the body is relaxed 😌 and the physical stress on the body is reduced.

By aligning the spine we help your body find its natural balance, easing the tension that stress can bring. ✨

It's like a reset button for your body and mind 🙌🏼

Kick stress to the curb and book your appointment today!

Does your child love to be outside or play sports?!

(Drop their preferred activity below! Ours love/play _______ )

If your child is active in sports, I’m sure you love watching their passion and dedication.💪

We also know that sports come with physical demands and the risk of injuries… so how can we support their active growing bodies?

Chiropractic care! (I’m sure you guessed it. 😉) Regular adjustments can make a significant difference in the short AND long term of your young athlete's joints and performance.

Because chiropractic care is proactive, we can address minor misalignments and imbalances early on to help reduce the risk of sports-related injuries and compensation patterns.

A well-aligned spine and properly functioning nervous system allow your child to move with greater stability and coordination.

Chiropractic adjustments also promote efficient communication between the brain and muscles. This results in improved reaction times, better muscle control, and enhanced athletic skills.

Bottom line? Chiropractic care can be a literal game-changer! ⚽️👯‍♀️🏈🎾🤸‍♀️

We highly recommend PROACTIVELY scheduling these appointments for your athletic kiddos!

Happy Father's Day to all the Chatham Family Chiropractic dads!

And to my fun-loving hubby who is always up for a "spin". 😉

Let's talk about a game-changer that's not just for adults but for the whole family – chiropractic care! It’s like giving your family’s health a high five and here’s why it's the real MVP. 🏆

Picture this: the whole family rallying together for wellness. Chiropractic care isn't just about fixing stuff; it's about making sure everyone's A-game is on point. When the family is feeling good, life gets a whole lot better!

🙌🏻 We all know life can have its ups and downs, and stress is hard to avoid. But guess what? Getting adjusted is like a chill pill for your brain. It helps the whole family kick stress to the curb and allows your body to build resiliency.

Getting your kids adjusted is like giving them a superhero cape! 🛡️ It can help with growing pain, neurodevelopment, focus, immunity and so much more.

We give new patient priority to family members of current patients so don't hesitate to get the whole family on the schedule!

Many pregnant mums wonder how in the world I will adjust them during pregnancy as their belly grows 🤰🏻.

Here’s the answer! My 🪄 pregnancy pillows!

These pillows allow for safe and comfy adjustments no matter how big your belly gets!

Pregnancy is beautiful... but let's be honest, it can be rough too.

Your body is changing like never before and having to adapt to a whole new list of stressors.

Whether it be , , , pain or lack of sleep; pregnancy symptoms can make for a long 9 months!

Did you know that research supports that pregnant women under regular chiropractic care report less pregnancy-related symptoms?

This improved comfort can largely be related to a properly functioning body and increased adaptability to stress.

We really don't need to sell you on the health and relaxation benefits of massage, right? 😅

Chiropractic doesn’t “cure” an ear infection, but it DOES facilitate draining of the Eustachian tube!

A Eustachian tube that doesn’t drain properly causes ➡️ built-up fluid ➡️ which can become stagnant ➡️ which can lead to infection.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments (no “neck cracking”) activates the trigeminal nerve, which causes the tensor veli palatini (TVP) muscle to work better, allowing the fluid in the ears to eventually drain.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics studied 332 children with chronic ear infections. Each child, ranging in age from 27 days to 5 years, was given a series of chiropractic adjustments. The results show that close to 80% of the children did not experience another ear infection within the six-month period following their initial visits. The six-month period included maintenance treatments every four to six weeks.

We have seen first-hand in our office how gentle adjustments can help your little one. 😍

🤰🏼 Why do pregnant women get chiropractic care?

✅ A balanced pelvis optimizes fetal positioning and baby's developmental space.

Which prevents ⬇️
〰️ low back pain
〰️ sciatica
〰️ lower abdominal pain
〰️ asymmetry (leading to intrauterine constraint)

During pregnancy we care for your body but we also deeply care about every other aspect of your motherhood journey which means we share personal experiences and resources when needed at your appointment. ❤

HEAD! 😮

50% - that’s how many infants acquire flat head syndrome–also known as plagiocephaly.

Since babies spend a significant amount of time lying down on their backs during their first 6 months, it’s not uncommon for their skulls to become flattened or misshapen due to the prolonged pressure on one side of the head.

While simple strategies, such as tummy time and repositioning the head often work, sometimes more advanced therapies are required.

These can include physical therapy, helmet therapy, and chiropractic care.

Dr. Jen has extensive experience helping treat babies with flat heads!

For many women, motherhood is the event that spurs them on to better health for themselves and their families!

Moms make the world go 'round and we're here to support them on their health journey. ❤

Once you've given birth, you are technically "postpartum" for the rest of your life. Some might say you're postpartum for 6 weeks and then you should be able to bounce back like you never grew and birthed a human.

We a whether you had a baby three days ago or three years ago, Dr. Jen has special training to help your postpartum body heal and thrive!

How do we adjust a toddler?

This is a question we get asked all the time!

The answer is simple ➡️ we meet your child where they are.

Does your child need to sit on your lap? That's fine!

Does your child want to bring in their favorite stuffed animal to get adjusted with? We can adjust their stuffed animals, too. 😊

We know how to handle any curveballs they may throw our way 😉

Your referrals and reviews mean so much to us!

Did you know around the age of 7 the body starts to finalize the overall pattern of how you move?

If this pattern has dysfunction early on, we add even more layers of dysfunction as we age.

This is why we call it the magic age of 7 ➡ before the age of 7 our bodies are very malleable and we can bring you to the closest place of balance in your nervous system and in movements.

Chiropractic care before the age of 7 can help sort out problems and get them on the right track 🥰

Pregnant? 🤰 You need to know THIS to help you labor smoothly. ⤵️⤵️

Fetal positioning is a crucial part of the labor and delivery process. An optimal position can help ensure healthy delivery and that you labor more efficiently.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the Cephalic presentation is the optimal fetal position.

This occurs when “the baby is positioned head-down, facing the mother’s back with the chin ticked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis.”

And you’re probably familiar with the term breech, which occurs when a baby’s buttocks, feet, or both are set to come out before the head. The Breech position can often lead to complications.

In her “Pathways to Family Wellness” article titled “Optimal Fetal Positioning: How Baby’s Position Can Alter Your Labor,” Amy Michaelson noted that our modern, often sedentary lifestyles could lead to malpositioning.

How can you help ensure your baby is optimally positioned for labor? In pregnancy and during birth, the body should open up so that the pelvis can move and the ligaments can stretch.

“Some of us may need more help than just normal posturing to get our babies to move into more favorable positions,” Michaelson said.

If that’s the case, you can try …

👶 Chiropractic care (with a Webster Certified chiropractor like Dr. Newman!)
👶 Mayan Abdominal Massage
👶 Rebozo

However, sometimes a malposition cannot be helped, so remember: the human body adapts to its circumstances, and babies in less-than-optimal positions can still be born successfully and healthy.

Moms with a newborn- is this you?

It looks a bit like this:
🍼 you haven’t showered in 4 days
🍼 the baby doesn’t seem to stop crying
🍼 it’s a toss up between that stain on your shirt being p*e or spit up

It’s called the fourth trimester for a reason.

You’re still providing for a little one, your body is reconfiguring itself, hormones are—just, WOW!

Be easy with yourself.

Give yourself some grace.

Treat you, the mama, with the same gentleness that you’re treating your baby. ❤️

We want you to know that you’re welcome in our office no matter what. We don't care that you aren’t showered, your baby is crying or you have spit up on your shirt. It’s called the fourth trimester for a reason.
