Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

- Symptomatic Relief - lots of physical change in short windows of time can cause aches and pains if not well-managed. **Adjustments can also help with digestive issues and the feeling of heaviness** that can accompany pregnancy.
- Neurological support - **adjustments help to keep your nerve system in a state of ease**. The more relaxed (less stressed!) your system, the easier your body can adapt to the changes happening throughout the pregnancy (better sleep too!), the easier it is for babe to get into a good position and the smoother the labor can progress.
- Mechanical/Structural Support - **adjustments help to keep the sacrum, pelvis and spine in proper alignment** as the body continually changes through the 9-10 months of pregnancy. When the pelvis is well-aligned, the pelvic floor, uterus and pelvic ligaments are more able to work together smoothly and comfortably as the baby grows! It also allows for continued ease of mobility even as your baby grows!
- Educational support - **many mothers come in weekly which allows an open dialogue of questions and answers each week as your body and baby continue to change**. We are some of the only healthcare practitioners who see you every week throughout the duration of your prenatal care!
- Community support - **we have such a fantastic network of birth workers in our community who we can refer you to as needed.** We also are lucky to have so many other families in our practice who are pregnant as well! Connections and new friendships are made all of the time as people in the same stages of pregnancy/parenthood can connect in the practice.

It's mama’s turn for adjustments!

There are so many reasons why getting adjusted is important throughout pregnancy!

One of the big ones is to keep the pelvis as stable and flexible as possible. We like to think of the pregnant pelvis a bit like a hot air ballon - the bony pelvis is like the “basket”, the pelvic floor is like the “floor” of the basket, the ligaments attaching the pelvis to the pelvic floor/uterus are like the “ropes” that attach the basket to the balloon, and the uterus is the “balloon.” They all work together in unison and one is not separate from the other. The pelvis goes through tons of physical change in short windows of time during pregnancy and can throw the whole system out of whack if not well-aligned through these changes.

Unmanaged tension or torquing of the “hot air balloon” can cause more pain throughout the pregnancy, can lead to poor baby positioning within the uterus, can lead to longer labor times/increased need for intervention and can cause prolonged recovery in the postpartum period.

How does Chiropractic work?
Chiropractors focus on the spine, which protects the nervous system-the body’s communication network. Nerves send signals from your environment (like texture or temperature) through the spine to the brain.
If there are blockages in the spine (called subluxations), these signals can be disrupted, leading to pain or poor adaptation to your surroundings.
Chiropractic adjustments remove these blockages, restoring proper nerve
communication and improving how your body interprets and reacts to everyday experiences, including movement, stress, and illness.
Think of it like a phone call: with full signal (no blockages, communication is clear. With poor signal (spinal blockages), communication is distorted. Similarly, your body functions best when the nervous system is working at full capacity.

This past weekend, all three of our doctors stepped away from the office to attend a two-day chiropractic seminar focused on the latest advancements in patient care, technique, and holistic wellness.

Continuing education is a core value in our practice because the more we learn, the better we can serve you. We’re excited to bring this knowledge back to our office and apply it in meaningful ways to help our patients feel their best.

Thank you for your continued trust and support as we grow to serve you even better. We’re back in the office and ready to put what we’ve learned into practice! 🙌

The time has arrived and 40 weeks have passed by in the blink of an eye! Most of you have been going to your OBGYN appointments, some of you may even have midwives and/or doulas supporting you, but reminder that you need a team when you are transitioning from woman to motherhood. Whether it be a hospital birth, at home or at the birth center, here is a list of birth professionals.

💜Certified Nurse Midwife: Many of you may be familiar with midwives and may already have them on your birth team and others may not have that much exposure to them. Midwives a part of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and are there to intervene (only when necessary) and advocate for mama’s birth goals and/or if medically needed. Many mamas choose to have a midwife on their team so that their birth is more personalized and that their voice is heard.

💜Doula: A doula is a professional who is trained to support a woman emotionally, physically, and emotionally throughout their pregnancy but mostly during labour. Doula’s are there to help mamas and their families so that they have the birth experience that they have envisioned.

💜Doctor of Chiropractic: Doctors of Chiropractic that have received specialized training in pregnancy work with pregnant mamas to restore pelvic balance and function. Due to increased relaxin in the body, it is common for the pelvis to misalign, decrease space for baby, and round ligament pain, to name a few. Chiropractic adjustments helps with creating more room for baby, helping with pelvic + round ligament discomfort, posture, reducing time of labour & delivery and easier breathing.

💜Lactation Consultant: Breastfeeding can sometimes be a struggle for mamas for a wide array of reasons. Lactation consultants are trained to counsel mothers and families on breastfeeding positions, milk supply, painful ni***es, baby refusing breastfeeding, and latching difficulties.

In the midst of cold and flu season.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Here are some ways getting adjusted regularly can help boost your immune system!

· Adjustments help improve nervous system communication. When your nervous system isn’t functioning at its best, our body isn’t able to respond to stressors appropriately.

· Chiropractic care can enhance blood flow and lymphatic circulation, which increases the delivery of nutrients and immune cells throughout the body!

· Adjustments can help stimulate the parasympathetic (rest and digest) part of our nervous system which helps decrease the body’s release of stress hormones like cortisol. These stress hormones decrease immune function.
