Prenatal Chiropractic Care is One of Our Specialties
Pregnancy demands a woman’s body to be able to adapt to the rapid changes taking place over the course of 9 months. Research has shown that consistent prenatal chiropractic care results in benefits for both mother and baby. These changes can be overwhelming to the nervous system. Chiropractic care allows these changes to be integrated with less interference. Our intention with prenatal care is to give our mamas a space to experience this amazing season of life to the fullest.
Benefits for Mother
Reduces interference to mother’s vital nervous system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions
Prepares pelvis for easier pregnancy and birth by creating balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles, and ligaments
Removes tension in ligaments supporting uterus thus potentially reducing aberrant tension to uterus
Decreases the potential for unnecessary intervention
Benefits for Baby
Reduces interference to mother’s nervous system allowing better baby development
Pelvic balance allows the baby more room to develop without restrictions to it’s forming cranium, spine, and other skeletal structures
Offers baby room to move into the best possible position for birth.
Proper fetal positioning significantly decreases dystocia (difficult labor or abnormally slow progress of labor) and resulting birth trauma caused by intervention
We Are Webster Certified
A chiropractic adjustment called the Webster Technique is a specific sacral adjustment to help facilitate the mother’s pelvic alignment and nervous system function. This in turn balances pelvic muscles and ligaments, reduces torsion to the uterus and creates an optimal environment for baby and mother during pregnancy.
