Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Due to the continuously changing biomechanics of a pregnant woman’s body, specific techniques and tools are used to ensure the safety, comfort, and effectiveness of treatment.

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment to a woman’s pelvic region which reduces the interference to the nervous system and creates balance in the pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. By reducing nervous system interference, improved function of the pelvic muscles and ligaments leads to the reduction of undue tension in the woman’s uterus. This may allow the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Post-pregnancy chiropractic care

Many women do experience various aches and pains along with general discomfort post-pregnancy. Due to the drastically changing biomechanics of the spine (explained above), sometimes a woman’s body has a hard time readjusting to these physical changes and therefore will feel achy, sore or pain even after labor and delivery.

Chiropractic care can help a woman’s body adjust quicker to these physical changes and alleviate the symptoms. For example, when a woman starts breastfeeding, her upper back and neck are stressed and most women do experience discomfort in these areas of their spine from holding their baby properly to nurse.
