Prenatal Chiropractic Care

To ensure a healthy and stress-free environment for the developing baby, an expecting mother’s body goes through a great deal of change. Increased back curve, a protruding abdomen, and pelvic changes create a safe space for the baby but can leave the mother uncomfortable and in pain. ChiroMom of Bellmore specializes in the Webster Technique, a chiropractic technique specifically developed to balance and relieve stress on expecting mothers’ bodies.

Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe?

Fertility and pregnancy wellness is a critical part of most chiropractor’s training and professional practice. Studies indicate that routine pregnancy chiropractor appointments throughout one’s pregnancy are not only safe, but it’s also recommended.

Why Should I Have Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

An expecting mother’s body goes through a number of endocrinological and physiological changes throughout her pregnancy. Unfortunately, these changes can lead to pelvic imbalance and a misaligned spine and/or joints. This imbalance can bring about:

• Intrauterine constraint
• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Dystocia
• Breech and posterior presentations

What Are the Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care has been proven to have a positive impact on the functioning of the nervous system. Since this system serves as the body’s master communicator, routine visits to your chiropractor help the entire body work more effectively and efficiently. Benefits of chiropractic care and the Webster Technique during pregnancy include:

• Maintain a healthier pregnancy
• Controls nausea
• Relieves neck, joint, and low back pain (including sciatica)
• Reduces pain and swelling in feet, ankles, and knees
• Reduces labor and delivery time
• Reduces the risk of delivery via cesarean

What About Chiropractic Care and Breech Deliveries?

The Webster Technique, designed by Larry Webster, D.C., was developed to reduce stress and establish pelvic balance. Studies indicate this balance helps ensure optimal fetal positioning for labor, with a success rate of almost 85%.
