Pregnancy

Pregnancy & Chiropractic Care

During pregnancy, several changes occur to create the best environment for the developing baby. Maintaining pelvic balance and alignment is just one of the reasons to have consistent chiropractic care. If the pelvis is misaligned, it will tighten the uterus and reduce the amount of room for the baby to move, grow and potentially get head down. Through chiropractic care, mothers are given the opportunity for an easier and more comfortable pregnancy and birth!

 

WEBSTER TECHNIQUE

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic evaluation and adjustment on the sacrum. The main goal of the adjustment is to relax the uterine muscle and restore balance.

Prenatal adjustments have also been shown to help common pregnancy complaints:

• Decrease sciatica
• Reduce acid reflux
• Improve sleep
• Reduce low back pain
• Reduce pubic bone pain
• Reduce round ligament pain
• Decrease Headaches
• Improve overall comfort

 

POSTPARTUM CARE

Chiropractic care AFTER birth assists the body through the healing process. It also helps to overcome and improve the postural issues that pop up with caring for your new baby.
