It can be such an exhilarating and nerve-wracking moment when you find out you’re pregnant. And whether you are trying to conceive, have already received the good news, or are navigating the post-partum days, we are here to support you through every phase and help your body be in its optimal state. Having a growing life in you is an absolute miracle and can also be a lot of work! Although researchers are still trying to figure out all the details about how the body works and how chiropractic plays a role in it, many studies are demonstrating how valuable chiropractic care can be during pregnancy. 

When you’re pregnant, you undergo significant changes, including an increase in weight and hormonal fluctuations to name a few, which can put increased stress on your body and can cause discomfort and pain. Chiropractic care can help to alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, headaches, and fatigue by addressing the source of the pain and discomfort, and by promoting optimal function and balance in the body.

The Webster technique, which focuses on bringing balance to the pelvis and spine, helps to alleviate these discomforts, as well as improve the function of these regions. This is important because the uterus is actually tethered to the pelvis, tailbone, and front of your abdomen, so having a well-balanced pelvis and spine can help the uterus find its best position and therefore give your baby the space to settle into the optimal position for birth.

Women that receive chiropractic care during pregnancy can experience:

An improved quality of life

A more comfortable pregnancy

Better sleep and improved energy levels

Improved satisfaction in their social roles

Shorter labor times

Fewer interventions

More space for baby to move and grow
