Prenatal & Pregnancy
Prenatal chiropractic care can contribute to reducing stress, improving fertility, and balancing hormones. A more conservative route to IVF treatments if you are having infertility issues is to get checked by a neurologically based chiropractor first!
Chiropractic care before and during the pregnancy not only can allow for a more comfortable and straightforward pregnancy, but can reduce labor pains and delivery times by up to 30%. By restoring balance to the nervous system through gentle + specific nervous system-centered chiropractic adjustments, optimal function to the reproductive organs is restored thus supporting the needs of your baby throughout pregnancy.
Our chiropractors are certified in Webster Technique from International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and firmly believes that if you’re under chiropractic care during your pregnancy, your chiropractor should be certified in this technique.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy, especially using techniques like the Webster Technique, can offer several benefits for both the mother and the developing baby. Here's how:
Pelvic Alignment: Chiropractic adjustments, including the Webster Technique, focus on aligning the pelvis. This is crucial during pregnancy as it can help ensure optimal fetal positioning. Proper pelvic alignment can also ease discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis that are common during pregnancy.
Reduced Pain: Pregnancy often brings about various types of pain, including lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce these pains by correcting misalignments and improving overall spinal health.
Improved Nervous System Function: Chiropractic care aims to improve nervous system function by removing interference in the spine. A well-adjusted spine can contribute to better communication between the brain and the rest of the body, promoting overall wellness for both the mother and the baby.
Optimal Birth Positioning: The Webster Technique, specifically designed for pregnant women, focuses on aligning the sacrum and reducing tension in the surrounding ligaments. By doing so, it may help facilitate optimal fetal positioning, potentially reducing the chances of breech or transverse presentations.
Shorter Labor Times: Some studies suggest that regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can lead to shorter labor times and reduced interventions during childbirth. Proper pelvic alignment and nervous system function may contribute to more efficient contractions and smoother labor progression.
Improved Overall Well-being : Pregnancy can be physically and emotionally demanding. Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to wellness by addressing not just physical discomfort but also promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being throughout the pregnancy journey. We always say that the umbilical cord not only sends nutrients from mom to baby, but it also acts as the power cord that connects mom’s nervous system to baby’s nervous system. If mom’s nervous system is not functioning like it should due to all the changes of pregnancy, then baby’s nervous system can’t function like it should either.
Enhances the Pregnancy: When you are able to have less pain and discomfort, you can then be more present to fully experience all the changes your body is going through during this amazing time!
