Safety is paramount. Dr. Stubbs performs orthopedic and neurological screening at every Barton Hills intake. Contraindications - fracture, infection, cauda equina symptoms - are referred immediately. For the vast majority of prenatal cases, gentle chiropractic is among the safest conservative options available.
