Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Congratulations mama! We are so excited for you & your new journey!
Growing a human is hard work and no easy feat! Although it is common for expecting moms to experience aches, pains, discomforts, or other related pregnancy issues, it is definitely not normal. Chiropractic care allows you to feel great during your pregnancy and helps to ensure a healthy pregnancy, a happy baby, & an ideal birth!
Helping Your Body Adapt Through Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy, much like a marathon athlete, requires consistent adaption and always changing physiology. The demands on a pregnant woman’s body require that she be able to constantly adapt to changes in her internal and external environments, both physical and physiological. A healthy nervous system is integral to this process, since it governs and controls these adaptive processes. As chiropractors, our main purpose to clear your nervous system from misalignments causing any interference to your nervous system!

Webster’s Technique – Decreasing Uterine Constraint, Optimizing Proper Positioning
Intrauterine constraint is defined as any force outside of the developing baby that obstructs its normal movement. Intrauterine constraint is correlated with such conditions as craniostenosis, congential hip deformity, and breech presentation.
The Webster Technique is a specific analysis and adjusting technique to assess the pelvis and associated ligaments. Although this technique is useful for all ages, it is necessary for expecting moms. This technique allows for the best possible position for baby (allowing more room for growth and development in-utero), more comfort for the mom, and tremendous decreases in labor times and labor pains simply by optimizing the baby’s chance of being in a great position for birth.
We often get asked about breech positioning for babies. Although chiropractic care is not a treatment for breech positioning and the Webster’s Technique does not manually turn babies in-utero, we do help to provide optimal pelvic structure and muscular/ligamentous balance which will frequently result in babies turning themselves when given the opportunity to do so.
