Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy can be a thrilling and transformative period in your life, yet it often involves discomforts and pains. Given the limits on medication while pregnant, turning to natural chiropractic care can be a game-changer during pregnancy, allowing for improved comfort and wellness.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care Throughout Pregnancy
Here’s how chiropractic care can aid you during the stages of pregnancy:
- Preconception: Chiropractic care strengthens and balances the body, making you ready for pregnancy.
- Pregnancy: Receiving chiropractic care while pregnant can reduce discomfort caused by nausea, back pain, and other sources without requiring you to rely on potentially harmful drugs.
- The Webster Technique: This special chiropractic method was created by Larry Webster, D.C., to ease stress on the pelvis and connected muscle groups of pregnant women, allowing the pelvis to function properly. Using the Webster Technique will allow your baby to get into an ideal position for birth.
- Labor and Birth: Regular chiropractic care during your pregnancy can shorten how long you spend in labor and minimize the need for interventions while giving birth.
- After Birth: Giving birth can place strain on the spine of an infant. For this reason, we recommend having your baby gently adjusted by a chiropractor shortly after birth.
