Why Is Chiropractic Care Essential During Pregnancy?

Prenatal chiropractic care plays a vital role in supporting the pregnant woman’s body as it undergoes significant changes throughout pregnancy. By focusing on maintaining a balanced pelvis, chiropractic adjustments help reduce discomfort and improve alignment, thereby easing pressure on nerves and joints. This balanced alignment not only enhances overall comfort but also creates a better environment for the growing baby, promoting a smoother pregnancy and potentially easing labor and delivery.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Chiropractic Evaluation

During your initial consultation at Advanced Wellness, we begin with a specific chiropractic analysis tailored to your unique needs as an expectant mother. This comprehensive chiropractic evaluation helps us understand your body’s current alignment, identify any areas of tension or imbalance, and create a personalized care plan designed to support both you and your developing baby throughout pregnancy.
Pregnancy chiropractic adjustments are performed with gentle techniques that focus on relieving common discomforts, such as pelvic pain, neck pain, and irritation of the sciatic nerve. These targeted adjustments aim to improve spinal alignment and reduce nerve pressure, helping to restore comfort and mobility as your body adapts to the changes of pregnancy.
After each treatment, we provide ongoing post-treatment monitoring and support to ensure your continued well-being. This includes physical therapy options and routine chiropractic care designed to maintain balance and relieve strain, promoting a healthier pregnancy experience for you and your developing baby every step of the way.

Techniques Used by Our Pregnancy Chiropractor

Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a specialized approach that helps pregnant patients by addressing intrauterine constraint, a condition that can limit the baby’s movement in the womb. This technique aims to balance the pelvis and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, which can encourage optimal fetal positioning and may help resolve breech presentation. By improving pelvic alignment and accommodating natural gravity shifts during pregnancy, the Webster Technique supports a safer and more comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
The Activator Technique is a precise method of chiropractic manipulation that is safe and effective during prenatal care. Using a gentle, hand-held instrument, this technique delivers controlled, low-force adjustments to targeted areas of the spine and joints, helping to relieve discomfort without causing undue stress. It’s especially beneficial for expectant mothers who require gentle and precise chiropractic care to support their changing bodies throughout pregnancy.
Soft tissue therapy focuses on gentle myofascial release to relax tension and enhance flexibility in the muscles and connective tissues. This approach treats the entire body, addressing areas of tightness or discomfort that often develop during pregnancy. By promoting relaxation and reducing muscle strain, soft tissue therapy complements chiropractic adjustments, enhancing overall comfort and mobility for expectant mothers.

Ideal Candidates for Pregnancy
Chiropractic Care

Ideal candidates for pregnancy chiropractic care are those experiencing discomfort related to pelvic misalignment, sacroiliac dysfunction, or a misaligned spine that affects the nervous system and overall reproductive system function. Chiropractic treatment can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support a healthier pregnancy by addressing these issues, especially during the third trimester when physical strain often intensifies.
However, certain conditions require caution or medical clearance before beginning care. Patients who experience vaginal bleeding should consult with their primary care physician before starting chiropractic treatment. Additionally, chiropractic care may not be suitable for those with severe toxemia (preeclampsia), a severely protruding abdomen that causes significant discomfort, or other serious pregnancy complications. Ensuring safety for both mother and baby is always the top priority in determining the appropriateness of chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy chiropractic care offers a range of advantages that support both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy journey. Addressing key areas of discomfort and alignment contributes to a smoother and more comfortable experience.
  • Relief from joint pain
  • Reduction of muscle tension
  • Support for optimal fetal positioning
  • Improvement in hip joint alignment
  • Assistance in correcting potential musculoskeletal imbalances
