The short version
Dr. Corie joined Georgia Spine & Sports Rehab in 2023 to lead the practice's pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care. She holds Webster Technique certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, one of the most rigorous credentials in prenatal chiropractic, and most of her patient roster falls into one of three groups: pregnant patients managing back, hip, and pelvic pain; postpartum patients recovering from delivery and returning to activity; and pediatric patients with postural, sports-related, or developmental concerns.

What Webster certification actually means
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that works to balance the pelvic bones, pelvic muscles, and pelvic ligaments. The goal is a balanced pelvis, which is proposed to reduce stress on the mother's body and nervous system and support pelvic function throughout pregnancy and birth. It is among the most widely taught and used techniques in prenatal chiropractic. Webster certification through the ICPA requires post-graduate training, written examination, and case documentation, it is not the same as "I've adjusted pregnant patients." Definition adapted from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), which trains and certifies Dr. Corie in the Webster Technique. Read about Webster care at the clinic →
Practical translation for prenatal patients: Webster-certified care is built around the way the body changes during pregnancy. Tables are configured for prone, side-lying, and seated work depending on trimester. Adjustments emphasize sacral and pelvic mechanics. Pressure is calibrated to the patient, never the other way around.
Pediatric chiropractic, the scope of the practice
Pediatric chiropractic in this practice is gentle, light-pressure adjusting that bears almost no resemblance to adult adjustments. Many families seek care for their infants and babies during periods of colic, sleep difficulties, feeding and latch challenges, and questions about movement and milestones, alongside their pediatrician's care. Older children are often brought in for postural issues such as head-forward posture, asymmetric shoulders, tech-neck symptoms, and for sports-related complaints such as Little League shoulder, growing-pain knee complaints, and post-fall stiffness. The chiropractic adjustment is used with the goal of supporting recovery from minor injuries like falls, sports impacts, and awkward sleeping positions, along with routine wellness checks for children whose families want to support their health.
The focus of care is the nervous system, which is the area chiropractors are specifically trained to assess and support via the chiropractic adjustment. Gentle chiropractic care is intended to provide input to a baby's or child's spine and nervous system, with the goal of supporting healthy nervous system function and helping the body better adapt to everyday stress and challenges. Chiropractic care can work in conjunction with other pediatric medical care, allowing families to support their child from multiple angles.
Prenatal patient, what to expect at the first visit
The first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes. A full health history including the OB/midwife of record, current trimester, and any pregnancy complications. A pregnancy-appropriate musculoskeletal exam, no X-rays, ever, during pregnancy. A discussion of what's manageable through chiropractic care and what should be coordinated with the OB. Then, if appropriate, a first Webster Technique adjustment.
We coordinate with OBs and midwives across north metro Atlanta routinely. If your provider has questions about the care plan, we'll connect with them directly with your consent.
Postpartum care
The 6 to 12 weeks after delivery are when most postpartum musculoskeletal issues either resolve or become chronic. Diastasis recti, pelvic floor weakness referring as low-back pain, sciatic-pattern pain from vaginal delivery, scar-tissue restriction from C-section recovery, all of these are cases we see regularly. Postpartum care typically integrates with the patient's pelvic floor PT, OB follow-up, and gradual return to activity.
Common questions
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
For uncomplicated pregnancies, yes, and the Webster Technique was developed specifically with pregnancy biomechanics in mind. We always coordinate with your OB or midwife if there are any complications such as placenta previa, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or other risk factors.
What's the youngest age you'll see a child?
We see infants for postural and developmental concerns and continue through adolescence. Pressure and technique are scaled to the child's age and size. Parents are present for every visit.
Do you handle pediatric sports injuries?
Yes, and this is where Dr. Corie and Dr. Joe co-manage cases. Pediatric sports injuries (Little League elbow, growth-plate concerns, recurring ankle issues in young athletes) often benefit from Dr. Joe's sports-medicine experience plus Dr. Corie's pediatric-specific training.
How does payment work for prenatal and pediatric care?
We're cash-pay. We don't bill insurance. New-patient evaluations are 60 minutes; treatment plans match what your case actually needs. We accept HSA, FSA, all major credit cards, and cash, and offer itemized superbills through our ChiroHealth membership program so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement on your own.

Can my partner come to the visits?
Always welcome.
How Dr. Corie and Dr. Joe split the practice
Dr. Joe handles sports medicine, adult chiropractic, spinal decompression cases, post-MVA care, and the bulk of athlete patients. Dr. Corie handles pediatric and prenatal care plus general adult chiropractic. They co-manage cases when relevant, for example, a pregnant patient with a pre-existing disc herniation, a youth athlete with both a sports injury and posture concern, or a postpartum patient returning to running.
