Chiropractic care benefits all aspects of your body’s ability to be healthy
At Premier Chiropractic we care for babies hours old to the elderly and everyone in between. Our technique and adjusting methods are tailored to your unique self and situation. The doctors will always thoroughly review your specific case before any adjustments are given. Our doctors use very specific and gentle manual adjustments over time to help correct the cause of your health concerns.This is accomplished by working with the nervous system: the communication system between your brain and body. We work to correct spinal, pelvic and cranial misalignments (subluxations). When misaligned, these structures create an imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments. Additionally, the resulting nerve system stress may affect the body’s ability to function optimally. While the majority of our adjustments are manual (done with the hands) we also utilize Thompson Drop Technique as well as Activator technique when needed. For our pregnant moms under care we use a specialty technique called Webster’s Technique. Dr. Ericka Montelione is certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Read below for more information about Webster’s technique.

How Our Care Plan Works
1. Finally Be Heard
For a decade, patients have told us they leave doctors’ offices feeling like a number—confused and unheard. Our comprehensive consultation uncovers the “why” behind your symptoms, focusing entirely on your unique health concerns.
2. Get A Customized Plan of Action
We are not the passive chiropractor who only tells you to show up when it hurts. If your dentist told you to come in once you have a cavity, you would fire them. We are experts at laying out a roadmap for success that delivers realistic results over time.
3. Take Back Control of Your Health
In our practice, we believe in a “doctor-doctor” relationship. Your body is designed to heal itself. We facilitate this through alignment and neurologic health. We will guide you, but you must commit to wanting to be well.
About Webster Technique
The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved.
Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this adjustment as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function. This specific sacral analysis can be used on all weight bearing individuals to determine S/I joint dysfunction/ sacral subluxation and is therefore applicable for the entire population. The assessment includes heel flexion to buttocks, with restricted flexion indicating the affected SI joint. Correction is made with a diversified, sacral adjustment. It is used on all weight bearing individuals presenting with this biomechanical restriction. Common symptoms include (but are not limited to) low back pain, sciatic neuralgia, and symptoms associated with sacral subluxation and/ or S/I joint dysfunction.
Specific & Gentle Webster’s Technique Adjustment
The ICPA recognizes that in a theoretical and clinical framework of the Webster Technique in the care of pregnant women, sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation.32 The correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
In this clinical and theoretical framework, it is proposed that sacral misalignment may contribute to these three primary causes of dystocia via uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment and the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. The resulting tense muscles and ligaments and their aberrant effect on the uterus may prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.
In regards to pregnant mothers, Dr. Webster reported that when a mother sought care and her baby was in a breech position, the restoration of pelvic neuro-biomechanics with this adjustment also frequently facilitated optimal fetal positioning. There are cases published in the chiropractic literature that support this theory. More research is needed and is currently underway by the ICPA.The obstetric literature has determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affect birth outcome and decrease the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Obstetric literature has determined the importance of normal pelvic neuro-biomechanics including uterine function and pelvic alignment for the prevention of dystocia (difficult birth). It has also determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Chiropractic literature has determined the significance of sacral adjustments in normalizing pelvic neuro-biomechanics.
It is therefore considered prudent that this specific sacral analysis and adjustment be used throughout pregnancy to detect and alleviate sacral imbalance and optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics in the mother. Because of the particular female adaptations from the increase of hormones, weight gain and postural adaptations, pregnant mothers have a greater chance of sacral subluxation and neuro-biomechanical imbalance than the general population. Additionally, because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers may have significant benefit by having their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the mother and baby.
