Chiropractic Care During Your Pregnancy

Pre-existing but often unnoticed imbalances in the spine become stressed during pregnancy.  In addition, the weight of a growing uterus has a tendency to change a woman’s biomechanics, shifting the center of gravity and putting pressure on joints of the hips, pelvis and lower back.

Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy.  Specific adjustments (such as the Webster technique) eliminate the causes of stress in the spine.

Chiropractic Care To Prepare For Labour

As a baby develops, a woman’s uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth.  When the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus (specifically the round ligaments) maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus.

If the pelvis is out of balance or misaligned, these ligaments become twisted, causing a condition called “intrauterine constraint”.  This constraint limits the space available for the developing baby to move.

If there is intrauterine constraint as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth.  Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often intrauterine constraint prevents the baby’s head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery.  This may slow labor and add distress and pain to both mother and baby.

Using the Webster Technique, a chiropractor gently opens up the pelvis, allowing baby space or room to move into proper positioning. If the baby is in correct position, the technique also helps to maintain that ideal positioning leading up to delivery.

Chiropractic Care During The Postpartum Period

Chiropractic care after delivery is incredibly beneficial for all mamas, regardless of the type of delivery they had.

Postnatal chiropractic care gently sets the pelvic bones into balance and ensures proper alignment. Once the mama has healed and is well enough to visit the chiropractor, gentle adjustments can also be made to the pelvic structures and recommendations for exercise and rehabilitation of the core musculature can be addressed to ensure proper healing and restoration.

Seeing a chiropractor after baby also helps to decrease strain on the joints and muscles that new mothers may have from lifting babies and nursing.  

Chiropractic Care for Infants & Children 

Chiropractic Care is performed while your baby is in your arms, or on a soft pediatric pillow.

Did your baby have birth stress/trauma, intrauterine misalignment, use of extraction aids (forceps / vacuum) or prolonged labor?

​Pediatric Chiropractors have the knowledge and expertise to assess dysfunction in the spine, nervous system, weaknesses and primitive reflexes that may contribute to challenges in their mobility, and achieving their developmental milestones as well as optimizing overall health and development. 
​
Chiropractic Care is safe, gentle and effective in removing any interference that may be causing your baby’s challenges and encouraging optimal development. ​
