Techniques for Prenatal Care

Chiropractic care during pregnancy not only decreases discomfort, it decreases interference to the nervous system. It also helps to improve the function of the pelvic muscles and ligaments, leading to the lessening of the constraint of a woman’s uterus.

You can have a subluxation or interference without having any symptoms. Chiropractic can help keep your body functioning as best as possible, which is particularly vital with a developing child.

How often do I need to come in for care?

We will create a custom-tailored care plan to meet your specific needs. The typical frequency of care ranges from 2-3 times per week to once a month.

I wasn’t under chiropractic care before I became pregnant. Can I start now?

Yes! It’s never too late to start receiving chiropractic care while pregnant. It’s ideal, however, to start visiting us as early in your pregnancy as possible so we can help you maintain wellness throughout your pregnancy.

I don’t like the idea of taking medication while pregnant. Can chiropractic help with colds or headaches?

Absolutely! Common health issues such as colds and headaches respond favorably to chiropractic adjustments. That’s because getting adjusted can boost the immune system significantly.
