Family Chiropractic in Waterloo
Supporting Healthy Development at Every Age
Your family’s health is interconnected—when everyone feels better, it strengthens your entire household. At Essence Chiropractic, Dr. Lisa Simpson McQuarrie welcomes practice members of all ages with the same gentle approach. While she particularly loves working with adults over 50, she brings over 27 years of nervous system expertise to each family member’s unique needs.
A Gentle Touch for Growing Bodies
Children are born with fully formed brains that aren’t yet fully functioning—much of their development happens through movement and sensory input traveling through the spinal nervous system. Dr. Simpson McQuarrie uses exceptionally gentle, low-force technique appropriate for children’s developing bodies. There’s no forceful adjustments—just light, precise contacts that support healthy function. Many children look forward to adjustments because they feel so much better afterward.
The Whole Family Ripple Effect
Parents often report remarkable emotional and behavioral improvements alongside physical changes. Kids who receive regular care often regulate emotions more easily, sleep better, and navigate their world with greater ease. One mother shared that her family often arrives in “the crabbiest of moods” but everyone’s happy by the time they reach the car. Better nervous system regulation creates calmer households and stronger family connections.
Individualized Care for Everyone
Every family member receives personalized care based on comprehensive assessment. What a growing child needs differs from an active parent or a grandparent maintaining independence. Dr. Simpson McQuarrie takes time to understand each person’s health picture and goals to create care that truly serves them at Essence Chiropractic in Waterloo.
Starting Your Family’s Wellness Journey
Many families discover chiropractic when one member improves significantly and wants to share that benefit. Others come together from the start, recognizing that nervous system-focused care supports optimal function at every life stage. Your first family visit includes thorough assessments, discussion of wellness goals, and clear communication about what to expect.
