Pregnancy with Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy is an extraordinary journey, and alongside regular prenatal check-ups and proper nutrition, chiropractic treatment offers a valuable addition to your prenatal care regimen. This gentle and non-invasive approach provides expecting mothers with various benefits, including relief from pregnancy-related discomfort, assistance with fetal positioning, and postnatal support, all within a safe and effective framework.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy brings about a multitude of physiological and endocrinological changes. These transformations include an increasing back curve, abdominal protrusion, ligament relaxation, and pelvic adjustments, among others. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help the body adapt to these changes and alleviate common musculoskeletal symptoms.
Furthermore, chiropractors can aid in establishing pelvic balance and alignment, potentially facilitating optimal fetal positioning for delivery.

The Many Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Partnering with a chiropractor as part of your prenatal care team can yield numerous advantages. According to the American Pregnancy Association, potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy encompass:
 

1. Promoting a healthier pregnancy.

2. Alleviating symptoms of nausea.

3. Reducing labor and delivery duration.

4. Relieving back, neck, or joint pain.

5. Potentially preventing cesarean delivery.

Many expectant mothers have reported relief from pregnancy-related low-back pain following chiropractic adjustments. This non-pharmaceutical and safe approach offers effective pain relief during this transformative time.

Webster's Technique and Breech Babies

Dr. Larry Webster, D.C., the founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), introduced a widely practiced chiropractic analysis and adjustment known as Webster's Technique. This technique is designed to mitigate sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction effects. Sacral subluxation refers to a misalignment in the sacrum, located at the spine's base, between the pelvic bones. The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect the pelvis to the sacrum.

A mid-sized survey featured in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics demonstrated an 82 percent success rate in relieving musculoskeletal factors contributing to intrauterine constraint using Webster's Technique. Intrauterine constraint may lead to breech positioning, often resulting in a caesarean section.
