Prenatal chiropractic care offers a safe, holistic approach to supporting the well-being of both mom and baby throughout pregnancy.
Pamela V. Ford, DC, at Serenity Chiropractic & Family Wellness Center in Carrollton, Texas, provides comprehensive chiropractic services for the entire family.
Dr. Ford and our team are happy to explain five benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy.
Changes in posture, weight distribution, and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy often trigger back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica.
Prenatal chiropractic care aligns the spine and pelvis to alleviate these issues by reducing pressure on nerves and supporting muscles, tendons, and joints.
Your experience at Serenity Chiropractic & Family Wellness Center starts with a thorough assessment that includes reviewing your medical history, current health concerns, and specific issues related to your pregnancy.
Based on your evaluation, Dr. Ford develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and stage of pregnancy.
Through gentle adjustments customized for the expectant body, Dr. Ford provides significant, drug-free relief from common pregnancy-related discomfort, allowing mothers to enjoy their 9-month journey better.
She also provides guidance regarding proper posture, exercises, stretches, and ergonomic adjustments that can support your comfort and well-being during pregnancy.
Proper pelvic alignment is crucial for an easier and smoother birthing process. Prenatal chiropractic care helps ensure that the pelvis is balanced and aligned correctly, reducing the risks of complications during labor and delivery and possibly contributing to shorter labor time.
The nervous system plays a vital role in overall health and well-being, especially during pregnancy. Misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can interfere with nervous system function.
Prenatal chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve function, promoting optimal health for both mother and baby.
The baby's position in the womb, particularly during the later stages of pregnancy, can impact the ease of labor and delivery.
Prenatal chiropractic adjustments, such as those done using the Webster technique, encourage optimal fetal positioning by balancing the pelvis and surrounding ligaments. Creating more space in the pelvis may help babies settle into the ideal head-down position for birth.
Beyond addressing specific pregnancy-related concerns, prenatal chiropractic care promotes overall well-being for expectant mothers.
By reducing stress on the body, improving circulation, and enhancing nervous system function, chiropractic adjustments support the body's natural ability to heal and function optimally. This can lead to improved energy levels, better sleep quality, and a greater sense of vitality throughout pregnancy.
You’ll also appreciate our office environment, designed for comfort and relaxation during your treatment.
From alleviating discomfort to optimizing pelvic alignment and supporting overall well-being, chiropractic adjustments provide a safe and effective way to enhance pregnancy wellness. Consider incorporating prenatal chiropractic care into your routine if you're pregnant or planning to conceive.
