Prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care
At Turning Point Family Chiropractic, we are dedicated to helping mom and baby remain healthy and functioning at optimal potential. Through the use of chiropractic care, we help our patients experience more comfortable pregnancies, easier and faster deliveries and faster postpartum recover.
During pregnancy, the body is rapidly changing and therefore, causing much unwanted pains and discomfort. As mom’s body changes to accommodate her growing baby, mom’s center of gravity changes and hormonal changes cause ligament laxity. Due to these factors, many pregnant women suffer from similar symptoms that can be assisted with chiropractic care!
Some benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:
- A decrease in neck, back and hip pain
- Sciatica relief, or other nerve related pains
- Relief from carpal tunnel issues
- Relief from headaches and migraines
- Improved sleep quality and more comfortable sleep
- Decreased labor time
- Supports an optimal fetal position for birth
- Decreased risk of needing a forcep or vacuum delivery
- Promotes overall health and well-being
Webster Technique
Webster technique is a specific analysis and adjustment that focuses on reducing the effects of subluxation in the sacrum and SI joints. Misalignments in the sacrum can cause inadequate uterine function and pelvic contractions which can contribute to a difficult labor for mom.
During a Webster adjustment, the doctor focuses on the bone, muscles and ligaments, which together, play a role in the overall well-being of mom.
Postnatal chiropractic care
After the baby is born, the body is still going through a lot of healing. Regardless on your choice of delivery, birth can put the body through a lot of trauma. Along with this, mom is now picking up baby, carrying a car seat and so much more that puts new stress on the body. Chiropractic care during this time is extra important because staying healthy for yourself and your children is the main goal!
