A large percentage of pregnant women experience back pain during pregnancy, due to structural changes that occur to pregnant mother's body and to the rapid growth of the baby. This analysis has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth and to create an environment for an easier, safer delivery. Dr. Reyes has also taken post graduate courses in Nutrition, Functional Medicine, and Radiology. Dr. Reyes is certified in Acupuncture, Diversified and Thompson Drop Techniques, and Custom Orthotic Therapy and Bracing.

Dr. Reyes' approach to treatment is to find the underlying cause of the problem, keeping her patient's best interest in mind.
