Chiropractic care and pregnancy are like the perfect duo of peanut butter and jelly, coming together to create a harmonious and healthy experience for expectant mothers. Throughout pregnancy, the body undergoes a series of remarkable changes, physically, chemically, and emotionally, to support the growth and development of a baby (or babies!). These changes often lead to discomforts, annoying symptoms, and structural misalignments, which is where chiropractic care steps in to play a crucial role. 

During pregnancy, the physical transformation of the body is evident as the belly grows, altering the curvature of the lower back and shifting the center of gravity. In addition to this, the surge in hormones, including Relaxin, allows the body to adapt to the baby's growth by relaxing muscles, tendons, and ligaments. However, these essential changes can also create stress on the body and nervous system, leading to Neuro-structural shifting within the spine and pelvis.

The nervous system serves as the body's control center, governing all bodily functions, including the reproductive system. Our unique chiropractic care focuses on Neuro-structural corrections to optimize neurological communication and improve overall body function. By ensuring that the nervous system operates at its best, chiropractic adjustments promote a healthy environment for the developing baby. 

Misalignments in the pelvis can cause tension on the ligaments connected to the uterus, potentially affecting its position and the baby's space to grow. The renowned Webster technique, a specialized chiropractic approach, is designed to analyze and correct these misalignments. By relieving tension and promoting proper positioning, 

this technique aids in reducing complications during labor, including inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby malpresentation. The ultimate goal of chiropractic care during pregnancy is to re-establish proper structural alignment, decrease ligament tension, and create an optimal space for the baby to grow. By ensuring that the pelvic outlet is maximized, the likelihood of a more straightforward and smoother birth experience is increased. Additionally, chiropractic care has been shown to contribute to reduced labor difficulties, shorter delivery times, and fewer interventions. 

One of the most common concerns during pregnancy is the safety of receiving chiropractic care. Rest assured, chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are safe for both the mother and the baby. Especially in our office!! Our specially trained chiropractors use gentle and precise techniques, such as adjusting tools or small drops in the table, to perform specific corrections without any twisting, cracking, or manipulation. Special pregnancy pillows are also available, ensuring comfortable adjustments while lying face down on the table. 

“Pregnancy is a UNIQUE time in our lives that deserves extra care and support for both mom and baby! Having taken care of 100s of pregnant mamas, we can confidently tell you, you won’t regret getting chiropractic care during this crucial time in your life.”

If we are the right place, and you decide to move forward with care in our office, you will schedule a comprehensive examination and follow-up consultation.

Our comprehensive examination includes a clinical assessment (posture analysis, movement assessment, neurological analysis of up to three neurological scans using advanced technology, and x-rays, if needed*). It looks for indicators to determine the evidence of neuro-structural shifting and how it is impacting your health and well-being.

Our goal is to get to the root cause of the "why" behind an individual's challenge or learn how our care can optimize one’s health, well-being, or development.

* We do not typically take x rays on kids unless clinically warranted.

In our clinical experience, if a Neuro-structural shifting is identified, most individuals require a frequency of up to three times a week over several months to restore nervous system function.
