I just had a 30-week pregnant mama come in to help get some photos of showing chiropractic care during pregnancy. She mentioned she had been having radiating pain down the side of her leg for a while now, and she told her OB about it and she responded "Well, that's just gonna happen. What can you do?!" Actually, there's a lot we can do. There is a whole field of Chiropractic dedicated towards pregnancy care! My pregnancy visits are 15-20 minutes EVERY TIME because I don't just adjust the mamas that come in - I do a combination of adjusting, muscle work, supplementation, and dietary and/or exercise recommendations.
Chiropractic care + lifestyle changes and supplementation can help with so many things during pregnancy, which allows Mama to be more comfortable, get better sleep, and have a healthier pregnancy.
Happy, healthy mama = happy, healthy baby!
These are just SOME of the things that a trained perinatal chiropractor can help you with:
- GENERAL WELLNESS - you do not need to have pregnancy-related signs or symptoms to see your perinatal chiropractor. (a lot of times we find things you didn't even know you had!)
- neck, midback, lowback, & rib-side pain
- round ligament & p***c symphysis (groin) pain
- pain with walking, rolling over, using the stairs, or getting out of the car
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- constipation
- extreme fatigue beyond the first trimester
- gestational diabetes
- heart burn
- leg cramps
- swelling (edema)
- restless legs
- non-optimal positioning of baby (breech position) **As a chiropractor, I do not turn breech babies. I adjust the mama using Webster technique and use to balance out her pelvis, which allows baby more room and to turn head down for birth
I'm giving away another FREE consult + visit for a pregnant mama so if you're interested, send me a DM or comment below, and tag your pregnant mama friends!! π€
