Lifetime Health & Wellness

Lifetime Health & Wellness Pediatric, Prenatal & Family Chiropractor For over 10 years, Dr. Michelle and Dr. Carrie have been helping families in the community.

As a pediatric and prenatal-focused chiropractic office, LHW absolutely loves supporting families throughout their individual health journeys. Their mission is to maximize the quality of life of babies, children, and their parents through chiropractic care and to empower families to take control of their health proactively. They have observed and witnessed the increasingly negative effects of stress during the prenatal and birthing stages. LHW utilizes quick, non-invasive scanning technology to actually see where stress is stuck and how it affects neurodevelopment and quality of life. They pride themselves on being a resource and information hub in the prenatal and pediatric community—from co-caring with other providers in the area to giving the best customized care for mothers and their child(ren).

Van’s early months were filled with worry, sleepless nights, and endless appointments as his parents searched for answers.
Mom said, “Before starting care, Van struggled with breath-holding spells that would result in syncope. He regularly woke up 8+ times a night in distress. We were in feeding therapy for dysphagia and physical therapy for torticollis and asymmetrical movement. 😞
With all of Van's struggles, we felt ignored. We were told he would outgrow the dysphagia and asymmetrical movement pattern, and regarding sleep, I was told to "stick him in a crib and walk away." It was so hard to watch him struggle while knowing something was wrong, but not feeling heard. 😩
Van had previously been in physical therapy, feeding therapy, and even chiropractic care at another office, but we didn’t notice any lasting changes. My first call with our PX Doc immediately felt different. The care advocates and doctors actually wanted to know my child and they see him as a person, not just another patient. 🥹
I thought the neurological scans were going to look worse! As the docs explained the areas of stress, it was easy to see how they connected to Van’s behaviors. Seeing changes in the scans alongside his physical progress has been life-changing.
Since day one of starting care, Van has not had a single breath-holding spell that resulted in a syncopal episode. Week-to-week, he made huge strides in physical therapy, even after being in a “rut” for so long. ♥️
Now, Van has officially graduated from both feeding and physical therapy. He drinks easily from open cups and simple straws, sleeps well, and is just so much happier overall. He lights up seeing all of his doctors and care advocates—he even climbs up to the table himself! As a parent, I have learned so much about supporting and advocating for him. Our PX Docs have truly changed our lives, and they are my first call whenever Van isn’t feeling well. They have truly raised the bar for the care that I seek out for my child.” 🫶

Beautiful Harper has all of our hearts. ♥️ She loved Chuggington, water parks, and school bus rides. She brought all the necessary sass to her appointments and truly lived her best life 🤩. But looking back at Harper’s start in life, it had been a whirlwind of stress for her amazing family.
When Harper was born, she endured an agonizing 97-day stay in the NICU 🏥, followed by multiple surgeries and constant testing to figure out why she was struggling. They eventually received a diagnosis of dystonia for Harper, but she also faced seizures, extreme reflux, lack of head control, and hearing difficulties.
Mom said she felt helpless and was not listened to by her doctors. They experienced the exhaustion of having done and tried everything for her with multiple opinions, countless blood tests, MRIs, CTs, only to be put on more and more medications. 💊
True fighters from the start, Harper’s parents kept advocating for her care. When a friend told them about the PX Docs network, they took the leap, seeking answers that no one else had provided.
As Harper's Mom, Megan shared that after Harper’s very first adjustment, she started responding to sounds, and they couldn’t believe it! 🤯 As Harper continued to receive care, it helped her in so many ways: she no longer experienced reflux or GERD, she slept better, had improved head control, experienced fewer seizures, and they were able to cut her medications in half! 🙌🏼 She also had fewer spastic movements from the dystonia, so she could rest her body.
Chiropractic helped Harper adapt to life and stay calmer and connected. Mom said, “If it wasn’t for chiropractic, my girl wouldn’t have lived until the age of 7, and I am so thankful to have gotten 7 beautiful years with her.”
