Two areas of focus, one family practice
For nearly five decades, families across Hunterdon County have trusted us with three generations of patients. Pediatric and prenatal care are a natural extension of that — the same gentle, conservative approach, calibrated to the smallest and most delicate patients we see.
Pediatric Care
Dr. John has been adjusting children for 45 years, including patients under one year of age. Dr. Hilary also adjusts babies and works with families of young children. Pediatric adjusting uses very light, gentle pressure — nothing like an adult adjustment — calibrated to the child's size and stage of development.
Prenatal & Postpartum
Anchored by Dr. John's Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) certification and Dr. Hilary's prenatal protocols (SOT and side-lying Cox Technic). Dr. Hilary works with patients through pregnancy and after delivery, with a focus on women's musculoskeletal health at every stage.
Pediatric chiropractic, the gentle way
Parents are often surprised by how light a pediatric adjustment is. There's no forceful cracking or twisting — the doctor uses fingertip pressure and gentle, specific contacts appropriate to a child's age and size. Dr. John has done this for 45 years, treating patients from under one year of age through their teens, and Dr. Hilary adjusts babies as well.
Infants & Newborns
Very light, gentle contacts for the youngest patients — calibrated entirely to the baby's size.
Growing Children
Care that accounts for posture, activity, backpacks, sports, and the demands of a growing spine.
Active & Athletic Kids
Support for young athletes alongside our broader sports-injury experience.
Age-Appropriate Technique
Force and approach are matched to each child — never a scaled-down adult adjustment.
Prenatal & postpartum care
Pregnancy changes the way the body carries weight and moves — the pelvis, the sacroiliac joints, and the lower back all adapt over nine months. Our prenatal care is built around Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), a gentle, low-force method well-suited to the sacroiliac and pelvic changes of pregnancy. Dr. John is SOT-certified, and Dr. Hilary uses SOT together with side-lying Cox Technic so expecting patients can be treated comfortably.
Care continues after delivery. Postpartum, the body recovers from the physical demands of pregnancy and birth, and Dr. Hilary works with new mothers on the musculoskeletal side of that recovery.
SOT-Anchored Prenatal Care
Gentle technique focused on the sacroiliac and pelvic changes common in pregnancy.
Comfortable Positioning
Side-lying Cox Technic lets expecting patients be treated comfortably at every trimester.
Postpartum Recovery
Support for the musculoskeletal side of recovery in the weeks and months after delivery.
Women's Musculoskeletal Health
Dr. Hilary's particular focus, from pregnancy through every stage of life.
"Chiropractic has been part of my life since the day I was born — my father gave me my first adjustment as a newborn. I received care from Dr. John and Dr. Zak throughout both of my own pregnancies."
