Many changes occur to the woman’s body during pregnancy. As baby continues to grow, more stress is placed on the mother’s pelvis and lumbar spine. Regular prenatal chiropractic care through pregnancy prepares the woman’s body for the altering biomechanics, allows the baby to be in the optimal position for a natural delivery, maintains pelvic space so the uterus may expand with the developing fetus and correct obstructions to the nervous system to allow for the full expression of life.
Certified in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), we are often sought out by pregnant women to help them experience more comfortable pregnancies and easier births. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant women that address the shifts in the pelvis in order to restore normal biomechanics. The woman’s pelvis contains several ligaments that attach the uterus to the pelvis. Releasing the tension within these ligaments will allow the uterus to expand with the developing fetus while maintaining the space in the pelvis which is necessary for a vaginal delivery.
