Modern Chiropractic For Pregnancy
A comfortable pregnancy and a healthy birth is what all us moms dream of having right!? Of course we do and we can help you achieve those goals. Whether you are trying to conceive or already have, having your body working optimally is vital! Proper spinal and nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and 31 spinal nerves) function is crucial for your body as well as the development of your baby over the next 40+ weeks. Having a spinal exam, to see if your spine and pelvis are aligned and moving properly, and a nervous system scan, to see how well your brain and body's communication is, is vital information to see if your body is functioning as close to 100% as it can. The scan has absolutely NO radiation and is completely safe for you and your baby. With the knowledge of the exam and scan, we give specific and gentle chiropractic adjustments to allow your body to be working optimally. During your pregnancy, we have different sized pillows for your growing belly to allow you to lay comfortably, sometimes so comfortably that you don't want to get up :), on the table for your adjustment.
Added Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy:

- Help control nausea and upset stomachs
- Greatly reduce labor and delivery time

What is the Webster Technique and Why It Matters?
Chiropractors find and correct spinal and pelvic misalignments in the body, but the Webster Technique is not studied and practiced by all chiropractors. It is a specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum to establish proper pelvic alignment and movement. Maintaining proper alignment and movement in the pelvic area ensures proper uterine function, pelvic contractions and allows for the widest opening for your baby to either flip from a breech position to be head down, or if already head down, to birth through.
