More Than Just Moms
Holistic Care for the Whole Family
expecting mothers
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey filled with joy, anticipation, and also, let's face it, some physical challenges. Your body is undergoing incredible transformations as it nurtures and grows a new life.
At Thrive Family Chiropractic, we're here to support you every step of the way. Our gentle chiropractic adjustments help ease the discomforts of pregnancy, such as back pain, sciatica, and pelvic girdle pain. We also focus on optimizing your pelvic alignment, creating space for your baby to develop and promoting a smoother, more comfortable birthing experience.
new mothers
The postpartum period is a time of immense love and profound change. While you're busy caring for your newborn, it's easy to neglect your own well-being. But self-care is essential, Mama!
Our team at Thrive Family Chiropractic provides a nurturing space for your body and mind to heal and recover. We address common postpartum concerns like back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and fatigue with gentle adjustments and therapies. We'll help you regain strength, restore balance, and rediscover your energy so you can embrace the joys of motherhood with confidence.
newborns & Toddlers
Your little one's health and development are our top priorities. From the moment they're born, gentle chiropractic adjustments can help optimize their nervous system function and support their overall well-being.
We address issues like colic, reflux, torticollis, and latching difficulties with specialized techniques. We also offer craniosacral therapy, a gentle touch therapy that can ease tension, promote relaxation, and support healthy development.
families
At Thrive Family Chiropractic, we believe that health is a family affair. We welcome parents, grandparents, and even siblings into our practice, creating a space where everyone feels cared for and supported.
Our holistic approach to wellness extends beyond chiropractic adjustments, incorporating education, lifestyle recommendations, and a strong sense of community. We're here to empower your entire family to thrive.

"My daughter is always excited to get adjusted and I know it's because Dr. P has made her feel SO comfortable."
We 💗 Dr. Padilla! Dr. P cares for me and my 2 year old daughter. What I love most is her calm demeanor with my little one. My daughter is always excited to get adjusted and I know it's because Dr. P has made her feel SO comfortable. While Dr. P has helped us with acute things (like hip pain postpartum for me) we try to go regularly enough so that the adjustments can help PREVENT things, especially to help prevent sickness with my little one in "school". I can't speak highly enough about Dr. P!

Dr. Cristina is a godsend to Mommas and families. She helped me prepare my body for pregnancy, helped me manage my (very big) growing belly, and has helped me in recovery from a very complicated birth. She KNOWS HER STUFF! She now also cares for my little one and my husband, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you Dr. Christina for being so kind and so helpful to our family!
