Congratulations on your Pregnancy!
Many exciting and changing days ahead.
Is it safe for pregnant mamas to get chiropractic care? Yes, absolutely! Chiropractic care is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive approach to correcting and stabilizing the spine and pelvis for mother and your baby. Completely safe throughout pregnancy, chiropractic care helps the body work better and ultimately, improve quality of life and potentially birth outcomes. We have hundreds of patients tell us chiropractic made their pregnancy more enjoyable and their birth shorter and easier.
The Webster Technique helps reduce the effects of pelvic imbalance. When mama’s pelvis is out of alignment, the ligaments that connect the pelvis to the uterus increase their tension (tone), resulting in a distortion to the baby’s environment. Altered uterine function, altered pelvic biomechanics and baby positioning are the 3 main causes of dystocia or difficult labor. The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and adjustment. Chiropractic care and the Webster technique may allow for safer, easier births!
Advantages for Your Precious Baby
For your baby, the surrounding walls of the uterus tighten with pelvic imbalance, becoming more and more like tight bedsheets that restrict movement. The chiropractic adjustment to the pelvis releases tension to the ligaments and uterus, allowing your baby to move freely and assume the best position throughout your pregnancy.
Children’s health begins in pregnancy and birth.
