Whether it’s from carrying two wriggly newborns during pregnancy, or carrying two wriggly toddlers out of the store; leaning over to buckle a car seat/stroller/high-chair strap for the millionth time, or sneaking a little sleep in whatever uncomfortable position you can manage –– twin parenting is not without aches and pains. In fact, low back pain, neck pain, and headaches are common complaints among pregnant women and sleep-deprived new parents. They are also the most common reasons for individuals to visit the chiropractor. It just makes sense then, to visit a chiropractor who specializes in fertility, pre/perinatal, postpartum, pediatric and whole family wellness….a chiropractor like Dr. Brittany Ivans.
Dr. Ivans, an independent practitioner who works in collaboration with the team at Lovestrong Wellness, to create a safe space where families feel truly supported, seen and heard. She believes parents’ support team shouldn’t end once baby arrives, and she aims to help families feel empowered to be active participants in their own health and healing journey.
While in graduate school, Dr. Ivans worked under a pre/perinatal and pediatric chiropractor for 3 years and developed a passion for serving families. After receiving my doctorate in chiropractic at Life Chiropractic College West, she went on to pursue further education for pregnancy, postpartum and pediatric care and is certified in the Webster Technique through the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA) where she is also currently working towards a diplomate in the field. She has worked with many women and families throughout their pregnancy, and has treated patients as young as one-week-old.
Dr. Ivans understands there is an innate intelligence within the body designed to heal itself and that every system coordinates their functions together in a harmonious and delicate dance. She believes the purpose of chiropractic care is not to treat conditions or disease; rather, to restore the body’s natural function. Her approach to care works with the nervous system to help bring the body back into balance by using gentle, specific spinal adjustments.
