โจ PERINATAL CARE โจ
โI wish I would have known about this soonerโ
We hear this SO often from our pregnant mamas in the office after they get adjusted. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on taking stress off of the nervous system and balancing momโs pelvis and the surrounding structures, so both her and baby can function optimally AND be more comfortable!
Both Dr. Stacey and Dr. Mike have worked with hundreds of pregnant women over the years and have helped prepare and balance their bodies for birth. We would love to be a part of your perinatal care team.
To kickstart your way to a healthier, happier and more balanced preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, give us a call at 207-805-1350 or visit: www.pinecoastmaine.com

Your baby starts learning from you before they are even born. ๐ฅน
Every signal teaches your baby's developing nervous system how to respond to the world. When you are under regular care during your pregnancy, not only do you get to experience better sleep, more energy, less tension, more room for baby, smoother and faster labor times... but your nervous system will have less stress and more regulation. Which also means your baby will have less stress and more regulation, too. ๐

If you love to nerd out, ๐ค check out the link below. If you're not yet under care in our office, let's change that. Send us a DM so we can get you started on all the benefits of prenatal chiropractic care.
๐ถ From two tiny cells to a beautiful baby in just 40 weeks - the miracle of pregnancy never ceases to amaze us! ๐คฐ Expectant parents, did you know the vagus nerve starts developing at just 3-4 weeks after conception?
It plays a crucial role in:
๐ Regulating your baby's heart rate
๐ง Supporting brain development
๐ผ Kickstarting the digestive system
๐ก๏ธ Boosting immune function
๐ Helping manage stress responses
Did you also know your stress levels during pregnancy can directly impact your baby's developing vagus nerve?? How crazy that's how connected mommas are to their babies from the very start?! ๐ That's why understanding and supporting the vagus nerve in both mom and baby is so very important! ๐
Your baby's future health begins with you. And not in a 'stressful, be scared' kind of way but in a 'you are so incredibly amazing that you are creating and growing this baby and taking the best care of yourself possible' kind of way!! We are so impressed by you, momma!!
Let's make it the healthiest start possible! To ensure that your nervous system is in the best possible shape during this beautiful time, schedule your vagus nerve INSiGHT scan at Pine Coast. This advanced technology provides a detailed look at how your nervous system is functioning and adapting to the changes of pregnancy OR when preparing for pregnancy, for both mom and dad. Itโs a valuable tool for creating a personalized care plan that supports both your health and the health of your baby. We are so excited to support you during the most wonderful time of your life!!

Thereโs a pattern we see in nearly every child we help, and once parents understand it, everything starts to make sense. ๐ก
We call it The Perfect Storm. ๐ช๏ธ A build-up of stress on the nervous system that starts early with things like prenatal stress, birth trauma, early antibiotics and toxins, reflux, ear infections, sleep strugglesโฆ and eventually shows up as sensory, focus, or emotional regulation challenges.
When you can see how it all connects, you can finally stop guessing and start truly helping your child heal and regulate. ๐ Click the link below to learn more!
Did you know all of these challenges can be linked together? At Pine Coast, we call this cascade of events, โThe Perfect Storm.โ ๐ช๏ธ
From prenatal stress to birth trauma, to developmental delays, chronic illness, anxiety, and depressionโฆ One thing can and does lead to another! And if you ask your traditional pediatrician about any of these struggles, chances are they may have said, โTheyโll grow out of it" or "Just wait and see.โ But that isnโt always the approach we, as parents, want to take when it comes to our childโs health! Rightfully so, we want to help them, and right now!
This is why our team at Pine Coast fully believes that when you think something more is going on, youโre most likely right! ๐This Perfect Storm doesnโt have to continue in your childโs life.
DM us to schedule your child's neurological scans today!

You deserve to know what happened during your birth story. Whether it was your dream birth or it didn't really go as planned... Your story matters, and those facts can help your doctors paint a picture as to what really happened. ๐
Birth trauma is something we hear about all of the time and is one of the biggest contributing factors when it comes to childhood struggles. We would love to hear your child's story and see how we can all connect the dots together. ๐ซถ
