At Charlottesville Family Chiropractic we know that a misaligned body can affect many different areas of life. From the inability to complete daily tasks to missing out on important moments with those we love, health problems can truly keep us from living life to the fullest. That is why we use non-invasive and holistic techniques to decrease symptoms, promote wellness, and help our patients get back to enjoying life.
One of the things that sets Charlottesville Family Chiropractic apart from other Charlottesville clinics is our ability to effectively treat mothers and children. In fact, as a pregnancy and prenatal chiropractor, Dr. Cynthia Hatton treats maternity and pediatric patients. She is certified in The Webster Technique, a pregnancy treatment shown to ease the trauma to both mom and baby during birth.

Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Charlottesville Family Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could.
Chiropractic treatment could offer the solution if chronic pain is one of your PTSD symptoms. Manual manipulation of the spine and other joints in the body have been around for a long time. Ancient writings from China and Greece dating between 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain.
Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column called a subluxation. Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function.
Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to self-heal. Sounds ideal, but just how does it work? Like other health-care providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and we may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays.
Discover Wellness: How Staying Healthy Can Make You Rich by Michael Zimmerman & Dr. Jason A., Deitch. Discover Wellness teaches us how to avoid the impending health care crisis by staying healthy. Chiropractic treatment could offer the solution if chronic pain is one of your PTSD symptoms. I have benefitted tremendously from the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Prax.

Dr. Prax helped me greatly with the process of my newborn son's tongue tie release. She did body work before and after the procedure to help ensure that it was smooth & efficient. She also recommended a wonderful IBCLC & Pediatric Dentist for the procedure. I'm very grateful that I not only knew to start with a Chiropractor, but that she was the one I chose! Many of the issues surrounding my son's tongue tie have already greatly improved. With her help, he is already a much happier & healthier baby! I can't recommend this practice enough!

I was 5 days past my due date with no labor signs and only 1cm dilated. I met with Jennifer on Tuesday morning at 9am. We had a very helpful conversation and she did some body work. My baby was born the next morning at 07:01am and the labor was fast! From the start of contractions to the birth was 4.5 hours. Thank you Jennifer!!

A friend of mine recommended Prax Family Chiropractic and it was life changing - literally! My husband and I had been trying for about a year to have a child and in conversation with a friend, she recommended I try going to the chiropractor. I’ve had back problems from years of playing soccer and a bad fall down the stairs a couple years prior and so I thought, why not! I’m so glad I made the decision to come to Prax family. Not only did my back start to feel much better but after going to get adjustments for less than 3 months, we got pregnant! We’re now a family of three and I can’t help

After an old injury had gone untreated for too long I finally acted on seeking help from the great staff I had heard about at Prax chiropractic. From Morgan greeting you at the front desk to the kind and thorough initial visit the customer service and care you receive here is top notch, every single time. If you are really wanting to see change pick up the phone and call them now you won’t regret it.
