Pregnancy Chiropractic
While an exciting time of life, pregnancy also is accompanied by discomfort. Many of our pregnant patients have low back pain, rib, neck and shoulder pain. Others experience latching difficulties during breastfeeding and some get morning sickness.
As taking over-the-counter medication is inadvisable during pregnancy, chiropractic care is a natural alternative that provides highly effective relief for many women.
How Do You Adjust Pregnant Women?
Gently! Sometimes, we’ll will do a side posture adjustment. In the beginning of a pregnant woman’s care, we might use a bit of Thompson or Activator Methods®. Because Activator uses an instrument it can more easily access parts of a pregnant woman’s spine while she can be sitting versus having to lie on her tummy.
