Pregnancy & Chiropractic Care

I am grateful each day that I get to do a job that I love; helping to relieve my patients of pain and discomfort. From athletes to folks who work at a desk all day, kids and the moms who birth them I am extremely fortunate to be able to practice with such a diverse set. One of my favorite aspects in chiropractic care is with pregnancy. I am Webster Technique Certified trained to work specifically with pelvic balance in pregnancy.
Chiropractors that have been trained to work with pregnant woman are able to use tables to adjused for a pregnant woman’s body and techniques that avoid unnecessary pressure on the woman’s abdomen. Visiting a chiropractor during pregnancy can help establish balance and alignment with the pelvis. When there is misalignment this can effect the amount of room there is for the baby to develop. It can also lead to difficulty in the baby being aligned correctly for delivery. The potential for benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy are surprising and can include relief of morning sickness symptoms like nausea, relieving back, neck and joint pains and preventing a potential cesarean delivery.
If you are interested in learning more about chiropractic care with pregnancy, schedule a consultation I will be happy to discuss the benefits and course of action with you and your pregnancy..
