Chiropractic for Pregnancy

“Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy removes interference to the mother’s nervous system, enhancing baby development and uterine function. It balances her pelvis, eliminating undue tension to muscles and ligaments, thereby allowing for optimal fetal positioning.”

– Dr. Jeanne Ohm, President of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association

Supporting a Healthier, More Comfortable Pregnancy

At Balance Atlanta, we recognize that a healthy pregnancy and a smooth postnatal transition are crucial for both mother and baby. Chiropractic care is a safe, effective, and essential component of prenatal and postnatal wellness, helping to alleviate discomfort, support a healthy pregnancy, and facilitate a quicker recovery. Dr. Caroline, with her specialized expertise in family care, offers compassionate and precise chiropractic adjustments to meet the needs of expectant and new mothers.

The Impact of Pregnancy on Your Body

Pregnancy is a transformative experience that brings significant physical and emotional changes. As the body adapts to support the growing fetus, weight gain, hormonal fluctuations, and postural adjustments can lead to spinal misalignments and discomfort. On average, women gain 30 to 40 pounds during pregnancy, shifting the center of gravity forward and increasing the curve in the lower back. The hormone relaxin further contributes to pelvic instability by increasing flexibility in ligaments and cartilage.
These changes can strain the body’s support structures, vital organs, and circulatory system, often resulting in discomfort, limited mobility, and sleep disturbances. However, chiropractic care offers a gentle, effective solution to these challenges.

Chiropractic Benefits for Pregnant Moms

Chiropractic care has been a trusted method for relieving pregnancy-related discomfort for nearly a century. Dr. Caroline is skilled in the Webster Technique, a specialized approach focusing on pelvic alignment and biomechanics, especially beneficial for breech pregnancies. This technique has a remarkable 95% success rate in encouraging optimal fetal positioning, reducing the need for surgical interventions.
Pregnant and postnatal mothers who receive chiropractic care at Balance Atlanta often report a range of benefits:

Reduced Back Pain

Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate common back pain associated with pregnancy.

Decreased Joint Discomfort

Relief from joint pain and discomfort, particularly in the pelvis and lower back.

Improved Alignment and Posture

Enhanced spinal alignment and better posture throughout pregnancy.

Enhanced Mobility and Flexibility

Increased flexibility and ease of movement.

Lower Risk of Complications

Reduced risk of pregnancy-related complications and improved management of pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea.

Decreased Labor Time

Shorter labor and delivery times, with a lower likelihood of cesarean, forceps, or vacuum deliveries.

For Babies in a Breech Postion

The Webster Technique targets pelvic misalignments that may restrict uterine space, contributing to a baby’s breech position. By gently adjusting the hips and spine, this technique helps create optimal alignment, allowing the baby to naturally turn head down and potentially avoid a cesarean delivery.

Greater Comfort and Well-Being

Increased overall comfort and a smoother transition to postnatal life, including faster recovery and better sleep. Chiropractic care also helps manage the physical strains of early motherhood, such as carrying car seats and nursing in various positions, by supporting the body's natural healing processes and preparing it for the demands of childbirth and recovery.

Mindful Happiness

Chiropractic care for pregnant moms enhances mobility, mood, and confidence by maintaining optimal spinal alignment and nervous system function. This helps the body adapt smoothly to the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy, reducing discomfort and promoting overall well-being.
