Pregnancy Chiropractic

When considering becoming pregnant it is important to be as healthy as possible. Healthy Nervous System function, diet, stress management, and overall health should be considered when planning to conceive.

Chiropractic care helps the body to be as strong, supple and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy.

Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce back pain, nausea and other types of discomfort without the use of drugs.

Developed by the late Larry Webster, D.C., this method helps to release stress on the pelvis, relaxing surrounding ligaments and reducing the sacral subluxation to help restore more normal function. The Webster Technique helps babies to get into the best birth position.

Being under chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can help to reduce labor time and decrease the need for interventions during the birth process.

It is important to have the spine and pelvis of the new mother checked and adjusted after delivery. It will aid in the recovery and post-partum healing, and help with the new stress to the body holding and feeding the baby.

Even natural births can place stress on a baby’s spine. That’s why we recommend that you also have your baby adjusted as soon after giving birth as possible. Our approach is extremely gentle, using about the same amount of pressure that’s employed to check a tomato for ripeness.
