Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Prenatal chiropractic care is safe for most expectant mothers. At HealthWorks, we use Orthospinology techniques. This gentle, instrument-based method uses light correction to the upper neck to help restore balance to your spine and nervous system. There is no twisting, popping, or cracking. We tailor every adjustment to your stage of pregnancy and your comfort level.
Gentle Adjustments With No Twisting or Cracking
Orthospinology is very different from traditional chiropractic care. Instead of manual force, we use precise calculations and specialized adjusting instruments. These gentle adjustments help reduce stress on your spine. Many expecting mothers appreciate this approach because their bodies are more sensitive during pregnancy.
How Prenatal Chiropractic Care Supports Your Pregnancy
Your body goes through fast changes during pregnancy. These changes can lead to back pain, sciatica, hip pain, pubic pain, pelvic pressure, poor balance, and even breech presentation. Proper spinal function is crucial not only for pregnancy health but also for a smoother birthing process and the optimal development of your baby.
After birth, newborns may experience inflammation and tension from the birthing process, which may contribute to health challenges as they grow. Chiropractic care supports a healthier, happier pregnancy, full postpartum recovery, and protects your children from illness.
The Webster Technique for Optimal Baby Positioning
The Webster technique is a gentle method used to support pelvic alignment and help create space for your baby to move. Many women seek a Webster technique chiropractor when dealing with breech positioning or pelvic discomfort. While the technique does not turn babies, it focuses on balancing the pelvis so your baby has the room to move into the best position.
