Started Stride for families who wanted time to ask questions.
Omaha, Nebraska
Chiropractic care for babies, toddlers and the parents carrying them
Stride is a three-doctor practice on Leavenworth Street. We explain every step before we do it, and you stay with your child the whole visit.
Four places to begin
Start with where your family is
Each door opens a page about what a visit is like, what we do not claim and when to see your physician first.
Expecting
Care for the low back and pelvis while you are pregnant, with the Webster technique described plainly.
During pregnancy
Before the services
What we do, and what we do not claim
Parents read closely, so we say it up front.
What we do
Check how your child moves and rests, with light touch
Adjust the spine and pelvis when the exam supports it
Describe the Webster technique as a technique, nothing more
Show you how to lift, carry and sit
Send you to your pediatrician, midwife or OB when it is theirs to handle
What we do not claim
To treat or prevent any illness in a baby, a child or a parent
To change how a pregnancy or a birth goes
To replace well-child visits, vaccines or your doctor's advice
A number of visits, or a result
That every healthy child needs to be seen
What a visit can include
Four parts, each one explained first
Not every visit has all four. Your doctor tells you which parts they suggest and why.
A talk
About your family, how your child sleeps, moves and plays, and what you hope to learn.
An exam
Watching how your child moves, with you beside them.
An adjustment
Light fingertip pressure, only if the exam supports it, and only with your yes.
Movement guidance
How to hold, carry and set down a baby without straining your own back.
Your doctors
Three doctors, one front desk
Each doctor is licensed in Nebraska. Their licenses are listed at the foot of every page.
Sees babies, toddlers and parents, and keeps visits short and calm.
Works with adults and parents, and teaches lifting and carrying.
A visit, in order
How a visit goes with a little one
- 01
You talk first
Nothing starts until we have talked and you have asked what you wanted to ask.
- 02
Your child stays with you
Babies stay in an arm or on a lap. Toddlers can hold a toy. Everyone stays dressed.
- 03
The doctor says what they see
In plain words, before any touch.
- 04
You decide
You can say no, or stop, at any point. The plan is yours to take home and think about.
The office
A quiet hall, a sofa and a sunny room
A few answers first
What happens at the first visit?
We talk about your family first, then the doctor does an exam, and explains what they found and what they suggest before any care. A parent stays with the child the whole visit, and your child stays dressed. You can say no to any part of it.
Is chiropractic care safe for my child?
Every kind of care has risks. Soreness or fussiness afterward is possible and usually short. Rare serious problems have been reported with chiropractic care, and your doctor explains the risks to you before any care for you or your child. If your child has a fever, trouble breathing, a fall with a head injury, or you are worried, call your pediatrician or 911 first.
Will it hurt?
For a baby or toddler the touch is light, about the pressure of a fingertip, and a parent holds the child. Adults usually feel pressure rather than pain, and some feel sore afterward. We stop whenever you or your child needs us to.
How many visits will we need?
Your doctor decides after the exam and changes the plan as your family goes. We do not promise a number of visits or a result, and you can stop at any time.
Do you take my insurance?
We are out of network and do not bill health plans. We give you an itemized receipt, and some plans reimburse part of it. How fees work explains each step.
Fees, in plain words
Insurance, paying yourself and the lines that make up a visit are on one page, with the written estimate you can ask for before you come.
Ask us anything, or request a visit
We answer by call, text or email, as you ask. Leave a good time and we will try for it.
