Considering Chiropractic during your Pregnancy?
Pregnancy brings changes to the spine, pelvis, and posture, often leading to discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help address misalignment, easing back and joint pain and promoting pelvic balance.
Misalignment in the pelvis, called intrauterine constraint, can restrict the space available for the baby, potentially impacting their positioning.
Chiropractic care supports natural birth by encouraging optimal fetal positioning.
Pregnancy is the most pivotal experience of a woman’s life
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy chiropractic care offers several benefits, including:
Supporting a healthier pregnancy
Relieving back, neck, and joint pain
Controlling nausea
Reducing labor and delivery time by 25-31%
Supporting natural birth, reducing the likelihood of cesarean delivery
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe for pregnant women. Chiropractors trained in prenatal care adapt their techniques for comfort and safety, and some pursue additional certifications. Research supports chiropractic as a safe option for treating common pregnancy-related discomforts. A review of 33 studies found that chiropractic care can relieve back pain, reduce labor duration, and lower the likelihood of cesarean delivery.
Addressing Breech Position with the Webster Technique
The Webster Technique, developed by Dr. Larry Webster, is a specialized chiropractic method for balancing the pelvis and relieving intrauterine constraint, shown to be effective in 82% of breech cases.
By balancing the pelvis, the technique may help prevent cesarean deliveries linked to breech positioning, which affects 3-4.6% of pregnancies. Unlike external procedures, this gentle approach supports the body’s natural functions.
