Pre & Post Natal Chiropractic

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe for both mom and baby and highly effective at helping with many of the aches and pains often associated with the hormonal and physiological changes you will experience. Changes in the center of gravity as the belly grows, along with an increase in joint and ligament laxity due to the hormone relaxin can put a strain on the lumbar spine and pelvis. Postural changes and expansion of the rib cage can lead to neck and middle back discomfort and even headaches. Even changes to your gait as you enter into the 3rd trimester can put stress and strain on your spine. 

Chiropractic care can help you better manage these changes throughout your pregnancy and during the very important 4th trimester by detecting and correcting areas of misalignment. Even if you are feeling good, a visit with a Chiropractor who is trained to provide pre-and post-natal care can help support you for a healthy pregnancy and prepare your body for a natural delivery. Your Chiropractor can also provide advice on daily ergonomics, exercise and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, your Chiropractor will modify adjusting styles to accommodate a growing baby and belly, breast tenderness and limited mobility in the final months. We use custom belly pillows and table modifications to allow our expecting moms to lie face down for their adjustments.
