WELCOME BEAUTFUL MOMMA!
Taking care of mothers is one of the most important and rewarding experiences in this office! Chiropractic adjustments support not only the mother’s body, but the baby as well! Throughout pregnancy you’ll be experiencing changes in alignment, blood volume, hormones, and soft tissue structures. The goal here is to create more balance, ease, and connection for you and your baby!
The benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy are insurmountable! Here are some of the top ones! Receiving a cervical adjustment and/or an adjustment in the low back and pelvis supports your spine and nervous system regulate to ensure deeper parasympathetic states of rest, this decreases your pain and increases your energy supply! As more relaxin is being created and your structures start to loosen to these are the areas that shift the most: sacrum, hips, pubic bone, rib cage, and thoracics. You may feel more imbalance and stress as a result. Chiropractic care helps support these structures while also providing more ease and freedom in the places that are feeling tight and restricted in motion.
More room for you and more room for baby! Being in balance allows your baby to move freely so they aren’t feeling restricted or “stuck” in one position creating neurological musculoskeletal issues later down the road.
Did you know that when you have a free and clear spine your little one feels it too?! The communication between you and baby actually becomes more clear and stronger as the signals can freely travel up and down your spine with the chiropractic adjustments! Often times baby will wiggle because they can feel this connection brighten and grow after an adjustment! Having a really good strong pathway for baby to respond and your body to respond to baby is crucial as they develop and during birth!
How about those hips!? Lastly and most importantly adjusting the pelvis and low back creates a free and clear birth canal for baby to come out through! You both deserve the best care during this beautiful time of life, I am honored to be with you in the growing stage of life.
Chiropractic care with pregnancy looks a little different! There are tools to help create more comfort and softness as you get adjusted. In this office I use a chiropractic drop table, a table that will soften the adjustments through dynamic motion. I also have pregnancy pillows to support your body and make sure that you and your baby are safe as we work together. I also use a spring loaded instrument (SLI) to make precise adjustments on areas that may be tender .Finally You’ll also receive some soft tissue work release tight ligaments, connective tissue and muscles as well as a little cranial work.
