Prenatal & Postpartum
Chiropractic Care
Our Approach to Pregnancy Focused Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors specifically focus on the alignment of a pregnant persons body. Treatment consists of gently and specifically adjusting the mother's spine and pelvis into proper alignment, and releasing tension in muscles and ligaments.
Chiropractic work helps establish normal physiological and biomechanical function of the mothers body. This can in turn help support the baby and the birthing process.
Transition smoothly into postpartum life by maintaining chiropractic care in the early weeks and months. This support aids in realigning the pelvis and lower back while also helping your upper body manage the demands of caring for a baby
The Webster's Technique
The Webster's Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment of the pelvis.
The first step is having the client lay face down in pregnancy pillows that fully support the growing belly. In this position the chiropractor determines misalignments of the low back and pelvis. Tight muscles and ligaments are worked on, and gentle movement is applied to the joints, often leaving the pregnant person with immediate relief. This can also help the baby find that optimal head down position, providing you with more birth options.
Prenatal Registered Massage Therapy
Pregnancy is a special, but often stressful time on the body; massage can be the perfect companion to help you make it through! While your body may experience heightened tension and soreness in the final days before birth - especially around your back, neck and pelvis - prenatal massage alleviates pain as well as providing an additional boost of relaxation.
By being aware of what doesn't feel right for you during this period, seeking out professional treatment like prenatal massages means that discomfort won't have to remain part of pregnancy and even postpartum journey.
Prenatal & Postpartum Acupuncture
Prenatal acupuncture is an invaluable resource for pregnant and postpartum women, aiding in the management of physical, mental, and emotional well-being during this transformative period. It alleviates pregnancy-related aches and pains and reduces stress and anxiety, often providing immediate benefits that extend well beyond treatment.
If your baby is in a breech position, acupuncture can offer significant support for both you and your baby. We advise scheduling a session as soon as possible to develop an effective treatment plan.
