Caring for You and Your Baby — From Pregnancy Through Childhood

Whole-Family Care, From the Start

Some of the most important chiropractic care happens at the very beginning of life — for mothers during pregnancy, and for babies and children as they grow. At Chirofit Wellness, Dr. Ciara Shorts offers gentle, nervous system-based care for both, helping families in Murrysville, Monroeville, Pittsburgh, and Plum, PA feel supported through every stage.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to the body — and with them, the kind of discomfort that can make everyday movement difficult. Dr. Shorts is trained in the Webster technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed for pregnant patients. By restoring balance to the pelvis and easing tension in the surrounding ligaments, it helps relieve sciatic nerve pain, round ligament pain, and pubic symphysis discomfort while supporting optimal positioning of the baby.

This nervous system-based approach addresses the root cause of pregnancy-related pain rather than masking the symptoms — so whether you're in your first trimester or approaching your due date, you can feel more like yourself again.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Pediatric chiropractic uses very light pressure — nothing like adult adjustments — to correct minor spinal misalignments that can interfere with a baby's nervous system development, sleep, and digestion. Colic, fussiness, and feeding difficulties are often linked to nervous system stress from the birthing process, and Dr. Shorts' soft, nurturing approach helps restore balance for both baby and parents.

Beyond colic, chiropractic care supports healthy development as children grow — from crawling and walking milestones to immune function and sleep quality. Families throughout the Pittsburgh area trust Dr. Shorts for compassionate, effective care from infancy onward.
