CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR
PREGNANCY
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful time for women. Your body is changing every day, and the shifting weight and hormones you face create posture problems and put undue stress on your spine. You might be tempted to write off the discomfort you feel as just part of the process, but often, it can be alleviated by having your spine checked out and adjusted by one of our qualified chiropractors.
Women who seek chiropractic for pregnancy find that they suffer far less discomfort and have a healthier overall pregnancy. The process can help you deal with restless leg syndrome, swollen limbs, back pain, sciatica and other common issues associated with pregnancy.
The spinal adjustment procedures we use are backed by solid science and use the most advanced methods, philosophies and technology available. We will realign your spine, and keep it aligned, to ensure your body functions properly and remains balanced to allow all the room your developing baby needs to grow. Realignment will also prepare you for childbirth and can help to reduce the intensity and time of labor.
Infertility
If you are having difficulty getting pregnant, there are some indications that chiropractic can help with fertility issues. Spinal misalignments can have a direct effect on your ability to get pregnant, and the right care for your spine may actually help you to conceive.
Post-Pregnancy Chiropractic
After your baby is born, rest and relaxation are essential to becoming well again. Chiropractic care can also be an essential part of your recovery. The birthing process is very stressful to your body, and many women suffer spinal subluxations as a result of giving birth.
Our team can help you get your spine back in shape, so you can heal more quickly and completely and be the mom your baby needs. Post-pregnancy adjustments can improve your mood, restore your body, increase your energy levels, and regulate your hormones.
The Webster Technique: Specialized Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy places unique physical demands on the body, particularly the pelvis, spine, muscles, and supporting ligaments. At Awaken Chiropractic, we offer the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic assessment and adjustment designed to improve pelvic balance and support optimal function throughout pregnancy.
The Webster Technique focuses on identifying and reducing tension and dysfunction within the sacrum, pelvis, muscles, and ligaments. By improving pelvic biomechanics and restoring proper neurobiomechanical function, this gentle approach helps create the best possible environment for both mother and baby while promoting greater comfort during pregnancy.
It’s important to understand that the Webster Technique is not intended to manually turn a breech baby. Instead, its goal is to support normal pelvic function and reduce mechanical stress, allowing the body to function as naturally and efficiently as possible throughout pregnancy.
A Natural Approach to Pregnancy Wellness
Many expecting mothers are looking for natural, non-invasive ways to stay comfortable and healthy during pregnancy. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach that focuses on supporting your body’s ability to function and adapt.
By addressing alignment and nervous system function, care helps create a more balanced environment for both you and your baby.
