Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy Chiropractic Lakeville
In addition to our love for general chiropractic care, Enlighten Chiropractic has a heart for expectant mothers. We are passionate about the benefits regular perinatal adjustments can provide to pregnant women and their new babies. More importantly, however, we are highly skilled in providing the attention that is required to appropriately care for this special population.
Is Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Safe?
Yes! Chiropractic care is safe for you and your unborn baby, especially given our training. Dr. Brielle is certified in the Webster Technique, an adjustment method designed specifically for aiding women throughout their pregnancies. She is also a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Along with practicing the Webster Technique, Dr. Lee and Dr. Brielle both practice Torque Release Technique, which relies on a small, handheld adjusting instrument.
Rest assured, we carefully analyze and adjust each expectant patient according to her specific needs, and our chosen techniques are incredibly gentle and easily adaptable.
Benefits of Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
-
Reduced back, neck, and joint pain – Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate the common discomforts associated with pregnancy as your body changes.
-
Improved pelvic balance– Maintaining proper pelvic alignment creates more room for the developing baby and may help them achieve an optimal position for birth.
-
Reduced nausea – Some pregnant women report decreased morning sickness following chiropractic care.
-
Shorter labor and delivery times – Studies suggest women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy often experience faster, easier deliveries.
-
Reduced need for pain medications – Regular adjustments may decrease the need for pain management during pregnancy and labor.
-
Prevention of cesarean delivery – Proper pelvic alignment may reduce the likelihood of needing a C-section due to breech or posterior positions.
-
Improved postpartum recovery – Maintaining proper alignment throughout pregnancy can lead to a quicker recovery after birth.
Common Symptoms That May Benefit from Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, placing additional stress on your lower back. Chiropractic adjustments can help maintain proper alignment and reduce pain.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause ligaments to relax, potentially leading to pelvic misalignment. Gentle adjustments can restore balance and alleviate discomfort.
When the growing uterus puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, it can cause radiating pain down the leg. Chiropractic care helps reduce pressure on surrounding nerves.
The pelvis widens during pregnancy to prepare for birth, sometimes causing hip pain. Specialized techniques can help maintain proper alignment and reduce discomfort.
These ligaments support the uterus, and as they stretch, they can cause sharp pain in the lower abdomen. Gentle adjustments can help reduce tension in these ligaments.
As your body accommodates your growing baby, posture changes can lead to discomfort. Chiropractic care helps maintain balance and proper spinal curves.
Joint pain and pelvic misalignment can make walking uncomfortable. Regular adjustments help maintain mobility and reduce pain throughout pregnancy.
Poor posture and increased weight in the front of the body can strain the neck. Gentle cervical adjustments can relieve tension and improve range of motion.
Hormonal changes, stress, and poor posture can trigger headaches. Chiropractic care focuses on relieving tension at the source to reduce frequency and intensity.
