Prenatal Care

• Relieves and prevents common discomforts during pregnancy
• Shorter labor times
• As your center of gravity moves forward, it increases the lumbar curve and creates extra strain on the lumbar joints.
• The hormone relaxin causes more ligament laxity in the body and chiropractic helps keep the pelvis aligned
• Optimal fetal positioning
• Non-invasive, drug-free treatment specialized for your body

Due to the effects of relaxin hormone (i.e., ligamentous laxity) during pregnancy and its possible contribution to sacral instability, the Webster Technique should be provided throughout a woman’s pregnancy.

Sacral misalignments may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Alignment of the pelvis may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.

We provide pregnancy chiropractic care using tables that adjust for a pregnant woman’s body as well as pillows for comfort, and we use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen. We will also provide you with prenatal exercises and stretches to do at home that is specific to your body and safe for all stages of pregnancy.

We provide treatment alongside education about your condition to help manage your current injury and to prevent future injuries.

There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy.

Our chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique and can work with all expecting mothers at every stage of the pregnancy. Learn more about the Webster Technique here.

The benefits of gentle chiropractic adjustments utilized in the Webster Technique include a safer, easier birth for both the mother and the baby. Aligning and strengthening the mother’s pelvis can reduce back pain that many mothers experience during pregnancy while also facilitating neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis.

• You will get to lay face down on our drop tables with specially designed pregnancy pillows while the doctor assesses your pelvis and spine.
• Soft tissue work will be provided for the psoas, IT band, piriformis, and round ligament.
• Any other specific concerns will also be addressed (i.e. carpal tunnel, rib pain, headaches, neck pain, hip pain, knee pain)
• Prenatal Exercises will be given to ease discomfort and prepare you for a safer easier birth.

We work with many local OB/GYNs as well as the local Midwives and Birth Centers. We can communicate easily with your provider to keep you safe and keep everyone informed.
