Kristin Hosaka is a brilliant chiropractor. Her specialty is prenatal chiropractic care, and she has years of experience. I've used her services for two pregnancies and in the aftermath of a major car accident, and I've only ever been pleased by the results!
My children and I were in a major car accident in October 2018. I had a broken shoulder blade and cracked ribs, my eldest daughter (5 years old) had a fractured leg, and my 3-year-old and 5-month-old were each pretty shaken up. Kristin didn't hesitate, and has been helping us all recover from literally Day 2, when she visited our house on a weekend to see us in our emergency situation! While the adjustments since the accident haven't been nearly as painless as the ones I've had from her in the past, I can ALWAYS come away with major improvement in movement and muscle/alignment stress. She's made a huge difference in my children's recoveries, as well. If I ever walked away from an appointment and had to call back later because I was uncomfortable, she insisted I return free of charge to make it right.
The first pregnancy with Kristin (second child), my son, was the definition of an unstable lie. He was also nearly 3 weeks past his due date, and still doing somersaults like he was practicing for the Olympics. Kristin was able to adjust his position to head-down, and she did some tweaking that allowed him to stay in the correct position until he was born a few days later.
The second pregnancy was somewhat similar in that my daughter, although head-down, kept shifting sideways, and my false labor pains were periodically quite severe. She was also overdue by about 2 weeks. Kristin worked past her office's closing time to adjust me through several contractions and ease baby into a better position for delivery... I went into labor that night, and delivered the baby the next morning!
As far as her techniques, they are painless and effective. Her bedside manner is kind and caring, but also very knowledgeable. She will usually recommend the non-invasive and natural methods first, and knows plenty of resources in the area.
As an aside, the main office also has a play room beside the main waiting room, which includes a changing area as well - it's a great resource for moms with other littles! read more
