For whom?
Chiropractic care is for everyone, regardless of age. Whether you are looking to relieve pain, improve mobility, or support your overall health, it can be of value to you. From infants to seniors, a healthy spine and nervous system are essential to living a vibrant life. Read on to discover how chiropractic care can help you at every stage of life.
For adults
Your Body, Your Temple: Strengthen It with Chiropractic Care
Adult life demands a lot from our bodies and nervous systems. Daily, we are exposed to physical stress (such as prolonged sitting, sports injuries, or poor posture), emotional stress (like work pressure, worries, or personal challenges), and chemical stress (like diet, medication, or environmental factors). All of these forms of stress can throw the nervous system out of balance, leading to tension, reduced resistance, pain, fatigue, and an overall feeling of being overwhelmed.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring and supporting the functioning of the nervous system – the system that controls everything in your body. Regular adjustments help to remove blockages, improve communication between the brain and body, and strengthen your natural healing ability.
As a result, many adults experience not only pain relief but also benefits such as:
- Less stress and more mental clarity
- Better sleep
- Increased energy and vitality
- Improved posture and mobility
- A stronger immune system
At Pura Vida, we don't see health as the absence of complaints, but as an active process of growth, adaptation, and resilience. That's why we combine our treatments with advice on healthy habits that you can apply in your daily life.
Your body is your temple: it’s your vehicle for everything you want to achieve in life. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, but a necessity - and we are here to guide you in that, step by step, at your own pace.
In our warm, peaceful practice, we create a space where you can truly land. Where care begins with listening, and every treatment is an invitation to return to your natural state of balance and health.
For Babies
Chiropractic Care for Babies: Gentle Support for Healthy Development
At Pura Vida we pay special attention to the little ones. Babies often experience a lot of physical stress during birth, which can affect their nervous system and development. Chiropractic care helps to bring the body into balance and optimally support natural growth and motor development.
Julie Nguyen, our experienced chiropractor specialized in pediatric care, guides your baby with great care and expertise. She uses gentle, safe techniques that are specifically adapted to the body of babies. Think of mild pressure techniques aimed at reflex integration, improving motor development and supporting the nervous system.
Babies can benefit from chiropractic care for conditions such as:
- Preferred position or a flattened head (plagiocephaly)
- Reflux and digestive problems
- Sleep problems
- Problems with breastfeeding (e.g. difficulty latching on)
- Excessive crying or discomfort
With loving and targeted adjustments we help your baby to move more freely, sleep better and develop optimally.
For children
Healthy Growth with Chiropractic for Children and Teens
Children go through many physical and emotional changes, and chiropractic care can be a great support during this time. Regular adjustments help develop good posture and movement patterns, which promotes healthy growth and prevents potential future problems. Chiropractic care is especially helpful during the teenage years, when growth spurts and hormonal changes can put extra stress on the body.
Chiropractic adjustments can help children and teens with:
- Postural problems
- Scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine)
- Growing pains
- Back and neck pain
- Sports injuries
- Stress management and tension relief
- Headache and migraine
- Concentration problems
Julie, with her experience and specialized training in pediatric chiropractic, customizes each adjustment to the unique needs of children and teens. By addressing issues early, chiropractic care can help promote long-term health and wellness, helping them grow into strong, healthy adults.
During Pregnancy
An optimally aligned spine can lead to an easier birthing process, greater comfort for the mother, and less trauma for the child.
The nine months of pregnancy are a time of profound transformation in a woman’s life. This is a time that often brings with it both physical and emotional changes. It is a time of vulnerability and growth, and proper support is essential. At Pura Vida, we are honored to work with women during this special time. Pregnancy is a time when the body undergoes remarkable changes, and chiropractic care offers the opportunity to help balance your body and promote comfort. Through gentle adjustments, we focus on relieving discomfort such as back pain, pelvic torsion, and other common pregnancy complaints. Chiropractic care also supports the functioning of your nervous system, which is vital to the health of both mother and baby.
We pride ourselves on creating a safe, nurturing environment for expectant mothers. We understand the importance of not only providing relief, but also reconnecting with your body’s natural rhythms during this special time. Our adjustments are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring both comfort and safety. As certified Webster Technique specialists, we can provide effective support for breech and pelvic torsion.
The ©Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic method that focuses on the analysis and correction of sacrum movement. The goal of the correction is to reduce the effects of sacrum subluxation or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This will optimize the overall neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis. Sacral subluxation can play a role in certain forms of dystocia (difficult deliveries), especially when the baby is not in the optimal position or when the uterine and pelvic floor muscles are not functioning properly. By correcting the movement of the sacrum, the Webster Technique can have a positive effect on these factors and thus contribute to a smoother delivery.
For seniors
Stay Active and Healthy
As we age, our bodies change in many ways. Muscles and joints can become stiff, balance can be compromised, and we can experience chronic pain. Fortunately, chiropractic care, especially for seniors, can be a tremendous help in maintaining mobility, strength, and overall health.
At Pura Vida, we understand that seniors need care that helps them stay active and independent. Our approach focuses not only on relieving pain, but also on improving the synchronization between nerves, muscles and joints, which helps the body stay more balanced. This allows for improved coordination and increases overall stability.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can help maintain flexibility and prevent injuries, which often result from poor mobility or poor posture. We work together to reduce the risk of falls, joint pain, and muscle stiffness so you can continue to enjoy life to the fullest.
Whether you are recovering from an injury or simply want to keep your body fit and healthy, chiropractic care offers valuable benefits for seniors. At Pura Vida, we take a personalized approach to your unique needs and health. Together, we can help you live your best years with a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
For athletes

Athletes, both professional and recreational, put their bodies to the test. Whether training, competing, or recovering, the demands placed on the body can lead to injuries, muscle strain, or chronic pain. Chiropractic care is an essential part of many athletes’ routines to optimize performance and support recovery.
At Pura Vida, we work closely with athletes to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support overall function. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to restore proper alignment, improve range of motion, and maintain the body’s natural balance.

« As we begin to experience a visceral reconnection with the needs of our body, there is a brand new capacity to love the self warmly. We experience a new quality of authenticity in our care, with the refocusing of our attention on our health, our diet, our energy, our time management. This enhanced care of the self occurs spontaneously and naturally, not as a reaction to a ‘should.’ We are able to experience an immediate and intrinsic pleasure in self-care. »
