Pregnancy

At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic care and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system and structural support help both mother and child.

More and more new parents are trusting the innate wisdom of the body. They’re looking for a professional who can partner with them, supply information, coach, encourage and use natural approaches that honor mother and baby. We’d like to be the resource for you.

Chiropractic care prior to conception promotes a more regular menstrual cycle and optimal uterine function. It prepares the body to be strong, supple and as balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy. Many couples who thought they were infertile have been helped by restoring proper nerve supply to reproductive organs.

Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy helps maintain balance, alignment and flexibility. Many report less morning sickness. When the baby is comfortable, it can assume the optimal birthing position.

Mothers who get adjusted seem to require less high-tech intervention. Most report shorter, less traumatic births. With proper nerve supply, well-timed contractions help move the baby more easily through the birth canal.

Even natural birth can stress a baby’s spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby is unable to comfortably turn its head. Schedule a chiropractic checkup for your newborn as soon as possible.

You can relax, knowing we use a light touch to make our adjustments safe, comfortable and effective.

Being born is a natural process. It’s what we’ve done to the birth process that has become increasingly suspect. In hospitals, a severe drop in temperature, loud noises, suction extractions and other insensitivities often accompany a newborn’s introduction into the world. The administration of drugs and anesthesia can have unfortunate effects, too.

You don’t need anyone’s special approval to seek a chiropractic opinion about health issues affecting you or your child. Consulting another health care expert is always helpful in the decision-making process. We work closely with other practitioners who keep up with the latest research and understand the value of this natural, drug-free approach to better health.

Of course not. An infant’s spine rarely has the long-standing muscles tightness seen in adults. So the energy needed to adjust a child’s spine is considerably less that what’s needed to adjust you. This is a common concern among parents who mistakenly think their child will receive the same kind of adjustments they receive.
