Pregnancy pains are unfortunately something that every expectant mother experiences. Those looking for pain relief often wonder if chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. When performed correctly, chiropractic adjustments are safe and can be an excellent pain management tool.
If you are currently pregnant, Lowery Chiropractic in Tallahassee, FL, is here to help. Below are a few things you can expect from our prenatal chiropractor.
Subluxations during Pregnancy
A growing baby can place additional pressure on the low back, leading to subluxations, or misalignments of the spine. Those misalignments can place pressure on internal organs, including the abdomen and bladder. Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate that pressure and improve many of the associated discomforts, such as morning sickness, headaches, or bladder leakage.
How Are Prenatal Chiropractic Adjustments Performed?
Here at our Tallahassee clinic, prenatal chiropractic adjustments are performed using the Webster Technique. It’s a gentle technique designed to minimize stress on the spinal column and nerves. It does not involve changes to the baby’s position or any direct pressure to the uterus whatsoever.
Webster Technique Benefits
The Webster Technique ensures proper alignment of the pelvis and uterus. Not only can it provide pain relief, but having regular adjustments during pregnancy may greatly assist with childbirth, as well.
A few of the benefits you might notice from prenatal chiropractic care involving the Webster Technique include:
- less back pain
- easier breathing
- fewer leg or muscle cramps
- better sleep
