Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of remarkable change in the body. Aside from the obvious postural changes from increased pressure on the spine as the baby grows in the womb, millions of hormonal changes and chemical reactions take place, all controlled by the nervous system.

During pregnancy, it is more important than ever to maintain a healthy spine and nervous system to adequately support the changing requirements in all parts of both your body and your growing baby.

Chiropractic care is safe and effective during all stages of pregnancy when provided by a chiropractor that has been trained to work with pregnant women, as I have been. I am skilled in practicing the Webster Technique which focuses on taking un-needed stress off the uterus and supporting muscles to create optimal balance in the pelvis.

The benefits of chiropractic care also extend beyond pregnancy. Postpartum discomfort can result in similar aches and pains experienced during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can help shorten your recovery time and improve overall health.

Pediatrics and Chiropractic Care

Labor and delivery can be as physically traumatic on an infant as it is on a mother, setting the stage for the baby’s future spine health. Having your infant gently adjusted within a few days of birth can help set the stage for healthy growth and development.

Chiropractic care in children has also been shown to have positive results in treating common conditions such as ear infections, headaches, and asthma. Some studies even show children who receive regular chiropractic care have stronger immune systems than children who don’t, and are generally healthier.

I have spent hundreds of hours studying and perfecting my skills to help expectant mother’s and children achieve optimal health.  Chiropractic care is completely safe for children when provided by a chiropractor trained in pediatrics, as I have been.
