Chiropractic Care is Highly
Recommended During Pregnancy
The role of a chiropractor in prenatal care is to establish pelvic
balance and alignment, not only to reduce the mother/baby discomfort
but also to allow the baby to be in the best position for delivery.
When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room for the
developing baby to be comfortable and they may seek out a less than
optimal positioning for birth. Our chiropractic training provides safe
exercises, stretches and manipulation (adjustment) to the low back and
pelvis to optimize alignment.
“Currently, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA)
recommends that women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy
to establish pelvic balance and optimize the room a baby has for
development throughout pregnancy. With a balanced pelvis, babies
have a greater chance of moving into the correct position for birth,
and the crisis and worry associated with breech and posterior
presentations may be avoided altogether. Optimal baby positioning at
the time of birth eliminates the potential for dystocia (difficult
labor) and therefore results in easier and safer deliveries for both
the mother and baby.”
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.
