Pregnancy Chiropractic At
Fairlawn Family Chiropractic
While an exciting and life-changing time, pregnancy can be accompanied by various aches and pains. The additional strain on a woman’s joints and muscles, balance issues, and pressure from an enlarged abdomen are substantial. Pain and discomfort, especially in the third trimester, are common.
Since taking medication is not a preferred option, gentle, natural chiropractic care addresses the discomfort, allowing you to enjoy a healthier pregnancy. Making sure you’re comfortable and pain-free is good for you and your baby.
Preparing Mom and Baby
Our bodies are meant to function at as high a level as possible at all times. This becomes even more important during pregnancy. So many changes occur during pregnancy, and it can be difficult for a mom’s body to adjust. Misalignment of the spine, pelvis, and sacrum is common.
Through adjustment, Dr. Chelsea ensures everything is properly aligned and functioning without restrictions, reducing pain before and during the delivery. It works on the bony ligament systems and muscular structures of the pelvis. Your baby is not touched at any point.
For comfort, we have tables that adjust to allow you to lie face-down comfortably. We can also adjust you in other positions; whatever is best for you. After your adjustment, you’ll likely feel less tense, and have less stress, which helps the baby too! Our moms tell us they had a much easier delivery with adjustments during pregnancy.
Common issues chiropractic may help with include:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Sciatica
- Providing more space for the baby to move
- Posture issues
- Faster postpartum recovery
After your baby is here, adjustments help realign your spine and restore function and mobility to your body. You deserve some special care when the pregnancy is over!
A Collaborative Approach
We know our moms receive care from other medical professionals during their pregnancy. Working closely with providers like midwives, doulas, OB-GYNs, pediatricians, and others, we’re part of the team that’s on this birth journey. Having a relationship with these professionals who are also taking care of the mom sets us apart from other practices.
