Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Why?
If you’re pregnant, have ever been pregnant, or even know someone who has been pregnant, you know that it’s not always sunshine, rainbows, and that beautiful glow that everyone always seems to talk about. Sometimes pregnancy is hard, and comes with back pain, exhaustion, and morning sickness. Who are we kidding? All day sickness is likely a better term. Don’t even get us started talking about the craziness that is labor! What if there were a way to ease the difficulties of pregnancy and labor without medication?
How?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown via fancy research to help with these aches, pains, and nausea. Chiropractic has also been shown to reduce labor times by 24% for first time moms, and a whopping 39% in moms who already have at least one other child!
What?
Webster Technique is a specific analysis of the sacrum (tailbone), followed by a gentle chiropractic adjustment to align the pelvis, bring balance to the nervous system, and relax the ligaments of the uterus. Sacral subluxation (misalignment) may lead to a difficult labor for the mother called “dystocia” due to inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and poor positioning of baby (breech, transverse, etc). Did you know that Dr. Jen is certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association to perform the Webster Technique? She has used this technique on a number of pregnant mamas whose pregnancies ended with beautiful vaginal deliveries!
