To support a healthy pregnancy, chiropractic allows more ease in the body as it goes through numerous changes. It helps reduce discomfort in the body, allows better pelvic movement, and reduces uterine torsion allowing the body to have more balance and the baby to have more space in the uterus. When the uterus is balanced, the baby has the opportunity to get into the proper position. Dr. Julie is certified in the Webster Technique, which she utilizes to asses the pregnant patient. While the Webster Technique is NOT a baby-turning technique, it does allow the opportunity for the baby to change positions.
A faster, easier birth is achieved when there is normal functioning of the sacroiliac joints which allows for proper descent of the baby through the pelvis. Many midwives encourage pregnant patients to seek chiropractic care for this very reason.
Why do children need chiropractic care? Well, the same reason they need quality sleep, proper nutrition, adequate exercise, and a loving environment. Those essential items provide their bodies with what they need to grow and develop healthfully. As a parent, you clearly understand the numerous stressors, falls, growth spurts, etc. which can create subluxation in the spine on a regular basis. Chiropractic care helps support a healthy nervous system by reducing/removing subluxation to help improve joint functioning, proprioception, muscle firing, and neurological control of all organs, glands, and tissues. If you want to give your child the best opportunity for health, regular chiropractic care is a must.
