Pregnancy Care

Benefits of Prenatal Care

Here are some of the primary benefits for which moms-to-be seek our care:

Relieves pain

One of the biggest benefits of chiropractic during pregnancy is it’s a natural way to alleviate pain. As it’s not safe to be taking medication during pregnancy, chiropractic is a fantastic and effective alternative.

Alleviates nausea

Because chiropractic adjustments improve a pregnant woman’s nervous system and digestive system, she’ll experience less morning sickness and other digestive problems like heartburn and constipation which typically occur in the second and third trimesters.

Addresses joint dysfunction

If you have misaligned joints, chiropractic can help restore alignment, particularly in the pelvis, around the sacrum area and the ilium area because that’s where the baby’s going to come out of.

Facilitates labor and delivery time

The chiropractic adjustment can correct subluxations in the pelvic area which can help to balance the uterus. When this happens the baby can get into the optimal birth position which makes for a quicker and more comfortable labor and delivery.

Providing Gentle & Comfortable Care

All of our adjusting tables allow for pregnant women to lie face down. The tables have a drop section so you can lie belly down. A lot of women, when they come in, remark that it’s the first time they’ve been able to lie on their stomach. They appreciate being able to get relief while they’re getting adjusted here.

To further ensure your comfort, we can adjust you using certain techniques like the Drop Table Technique or Activator Methods®, which uses an instrument. These approaches are gentle and don’t put any pressure on the abdomen.

In addition to the adjustment, we can provide effective stretches to help release muscle tension. The benefit is that you can sleep better and walk around better.
