Prenatal Chiropractic
Drug-free healthcare for you and your baby.
Throughout pregnancy, a woman's body is required to perform a host of new tasks in addition to the effort required to keep her own body functioning. She will produce 50% more blood, many more hormones and digest food for two. This puts additional strain on the nervous system and increases signaling between the brain and the rest of her body, including her uterus. This is one of the most important times for a woman to get regular chiropractic adjustments. Also, most women do not want to take medicine, even over the counter drugs, in an effort to keep these substances from their developing baby. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to eliminate pain and boost the immune system without the use of drugs.
Relaxin is a hormone that loosens the ligaments in a pregnant woman, allowing the movement necessary for the pregnancy and delivery process. Due to the loosened ligaments, a pregnant woman also experiences changes to the spine and other joints of the body, sometimes resulting in pain and dysfunction. Chiropractic adjustments can correct these misalignments.
As a woman's due date approaches, we work closely with her to ensure that her pelvis is balanced and symmetrical. We aim to make the pelvic opening as symmetrical as possible to ease delivery.
We have tables that adjust to your body during all stages of your pregnancy.
