Dr. Michelle Dougherty & Dr. Carrie Voigts

Chiropractors, Naperville

As a pediatric and prenatal focused chiropractic office, LHW absolutely loves supporting mothers and families throughout their individual health journeys! Dr. Michelle and Dr. Carrie have been helping kids and families in their community for the past decade. During that time, they have observed the increasing negative effects of stress that comes into play during the prenatal and birthing stages. With that in mind, LHW utilizes technology in the form of 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, co-caring with other providers in the area to give the best customized care for mothers and children.

 
Dr. Cortney Bio.jpg

Dr. Cortney Weigand

Chiropractor, Naperville

Dr. Cortney is a graduate of National University of Health Sciences. She found chiropractic care after traditional allopathic medicine failed to relieve her headaches. Dr. Cortney began specializing in pregnancy during residency and continued this specialization after graduating. She created a practice primarily serving pregnancy and pediatric patients. Her passion for helping moms grew from stories she would hear from her patients. Stories of traumatic births, unsupported births, moms who felt they had no voice and moms who wanted a better option for their next pregnancy. From these same moms came her desire to help the babies and children of these birth stories. Her vision is to create a community that supports moms during their pregnancy through empowerment, inspiration, education, trust and listening.

 
We have a secret in our culture, it’s not that birth is painful, it’s that women are strong.
