Pregancy chiropractic
A painless pregnancy
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many structural, physiological and emotional changes. Chiropractic care provides a natural solution and an alternative to pain relief drugs to many concerns for pregnant women. The purpose of chiropractic in pregnancy follow-up is to improve the functioning of the nervous system during these 9 months, in order to enjoy a painless pregnancy and allow an optimal health potential for the mother and the child.
Throughout the pregnancy, the chiropractor will help maintain balance and reduce body stress.
Your chiropractor is certified in the Webster technic which is a chiropractic adjustment method specifically designed for pregnant women, here are the most important points of the technic :
- Sacral Subluxation Correction: The technique aims to identify and correct sacral subluxations, which are misalignments or restrictions in the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine). These subluxations can cause pelvic imbalance and may contribute to discomfort during pregnancy.
- Pelvic Alignment: By addressing sacral subluxations and other pelvic imbalances, the Webster Technique helps restore proper alignment and biomechanical function to the pelvis. This can alleviate discomfort and improve pelvic stability during pregnancy.
- Uterine Ligament Tension Reduction: The technique also focuses on reducing tension in the round ligaments of the uterus, which can become tight or strained as the uterus expands during pregnancy. By releasing tension in these ligaments, the Webster Technique may help create a more conducive environment for fetal positioning.
- Optimal Fetal Positioning: One of the primary goals of the Webster Technique is to facilitate optimal fetal positioning for childbirth. By promoting pelvic balance and reducing uterine ligament tension, the technique aims to create more space in the pelvis and encourage the baby to assume the ideal head-down position for delivery.
- Non-invasive Approach: The Webster Technique is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic adjustment method specifically designed for pregnant individuals. It does not involve drugs or surgery and is considered safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor trained in prenatal care.
