Pregnancy Related Care

Our doctors offer a complete set of services specifically tailored to your changing body and have equipment specifically designed to comfort the expecting mom and baby. (Two of our tables can expand for a mom who is full term with twins!) Chiropractic and acupuncture are very safe and strongly recommended throughout pregnancy when provided by a chiropractor or acupuncturist, such as our doctors, that have been specifically trained in treating the changes that occur within a pregnant woman's body.

Each pregancy is different so please let us know if you have specific symptoms or conditions as this also modifies our techniques to be extra comfortable. Our doctors will work with you and your body to make sure that the baby is provided with the optimal environment in which to develop.  We'll also provide you with exercises and stretches that are safe to use during pregnancy and compliment any adjustments made to your spine.

"Pregnancy involves a large amount of stress to the mothers' spine and body.  Chiropractic helps you and the baby to be as healthy as possible."

Chiropractic and acupuncture care help during pregnancy by:

  • Correcting abnormal joint mechanics that lead to joint and nerve stress, thus improving overall health and function.
  • Maintaining joint function and spinal balance so the spine may adapt to the increased weight and altered posture.
  • Ensuring that the joints of lower back and pelvis are moving freely to assist the birth process.  Proper joint movement enhances pelvic opening.
  • Educating the expectant mother on correct posture, lifting and other lifestyle factors in order to reduce spinal stress.

The benefits of chiropractic and acupuncture care during pregnancy include:

  • Maintaining the pregnancy
  • Controlling vomiting
  • Increased likelihood of full-term delivery
  • Reduction in the time of labor and delivery
  • Relief of back, neck or joint pain
  • Prevent a potential cesarean section or vaginal breech delivery
