Dr. Joseph Benne, and his wife, Irina Benne, are co-owners of Atone Chiropractic, a neurologically-based chiropractic office, specializing in pregnancy, pediatrics, and family care.
The main objective of our care is to assess and maintain or restore the function of the nervous system, which is the master controller of the body. This allows you and your family to function at your optimal potential. Our care is beneficial for pregnant women in that it helps maintain the structures and biomechanics of the mother’s hips and pelvis. Chiropractic care has been shown to help the pregnant woman be much more comfortable throughout the pregnancy. Research has also shown that women under care before, and during their pregnancy have decreased labor pain and shorter labor time.
We also encourage parents to bring in their kids as early as possible because the birth process can be so traumatic on the babies head and neck, we want to make sure we get children checked for any interferences in the nervous system communication. This neck strain during birth can lead to slight misalignments of the child’s upper neck and that can be detrimental to the health and development of the child if it is not addressed by a pediatric chiropractor.
