Pregnancy Care

Here at VFC we love serving women before, during, and after pregnancy. Chiropractic has the ability to release any interference between the nervous system and the rest of the body. During pregnancy so much change takes place and it is vital that the pelvis is balanced, the spine is in alignment, and most importantly the nervous system is functioning at its optimal potential.

WEBSTER TECHNIQUE

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis used to reduce the effects of sacral/pelvic dysfunction. Sacral adjustments may improve the neuro-biomechanical function of the sacrum and pelvis. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother, caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of difficult labor.

 

 

PRE-CONCEPTION

Chiropractic care can help promote regular menstrual cycles and restore proper uterine function. When it comes to infertility, chiropractic care may be the natural solution you have been seeking. Spinal alignment eliminates nerve interference and promotes optimal function pre-conception.

 

Pregnancy

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can improve a mother’s balance, pelvis alignment, and flexibility. In addition, mothers who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy report less low back pain and reduced morning sickness. Research shows that mothers who maintain a chiropractic regimen during pregnancy often find that their experience in labor is less difficult, their contractions reliably timed, and the delivery is faster and easier.

 

 

Post- Partum

The birthing process is physically, mentally, and emotionally hard on the mother. Chiropractic care provides optimal nerve function to the mother’s body as she recovers from pregnancy and delivery. In addition, mothers report being more comfortable while breastfeeding.

 

 

Why See a Chiropractor While Pregnant?

Pregnant women go through a lot of changes during their pregnancies. This can include pain in their lower back, hips, and other parts of their bodies. This is because the stress on their muscles and nerves increases during this time. Many pregnant women find relief from chiropractic care or physical therapy. These treatments adjust the alignment of the pelvis and spine, which promotes both emotional and physical well-being.

Chiropractor visits during pregnancy have helped many women sail through the period comfortably and safely.

Naturally Reduce Hip and Lower Back Pain

The increasing belly size during pregnancy places a lot of pressure on the back joints, spine, and muscles. In fact, over 60% of women experience lower back pain as a result of increased weight during pregnancy. We simply correct the misalignment of the spine which lowers muscle technician and improves posture, therefore, easing the burden that causes pain. Our chiropractors focus on treating the root cause of the pain, thus preventing the need to take any pain-relieving medications.

Relive Common Pregnancy Symptoms

Some of the common symptoms pregnant women may experience include morning sickness, insomnia, acid reflux, and swelling of the feet. A chiropractor’s adjustments relieve nerve pressure from different regions of the spine, neck, and mid-back area to improve sleep. Adjustments also minimize acid reflux and help reduce inflammation throughout the whole body!

Improve the function of the nervous system

The nervous system and immune system are impacted by changes in posture and spine changes. The body becomes vulnerable to various illnesses when both systems are not functioning at an optimal level. Along with chiropractic adjustments, a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition will help with brain function and impact overall health.

Improves Fetal Positioning

Chiropractor adjustments and the use of special techniques during the last semester of pregnancy, provide babies with optimal space and placement. It assists the baby with staying in the right position for a healthy and safe delivery.

Shorten Labor and Delivery Pain

Let’s be honest, long labor hours and intense pain can be a nightmare for many women. Regular chiropractic care will help with keeping proper pelvic alignment and appropriate baby position. This will allow for a decrease in labor time and lessen the delivery aches.
