Pregnancy and Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy and Birth as a Natural Process with Chiropractic Care
supporting this Process

Chiropractic Care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and the baby in pregnancy and birth.

For the mother:

•  Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state
   of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles, and ligaments.

•  Removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus thus reducing
   torsion (intrauterine constraint) to the woman's uterus.

•  Reduces interference to the mother's vital nervous system which controls
   and coordinates all of her systems and functions.

•  Allows for a safer easier birth for the mother, decreasing the potential
   for intervention.

For the infant:

•  Removes interference to the mother's nervous system allowing for better
   baby development.

•  Allows the baby the room to develop without restrictions to its forming
   cranium, spine, and other skeletal structures.

•  Offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth.

•  With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia
   and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.

 

Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances pelvic muscles and ligaments.   This in turn reduces the cause of intra-uterine constraint and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

"As the twig is bent, the tree inclines."   Virgil (19-70BC)

The research community suggests that spinal micro and macro trauma may be detected as early as the fetus within the uterus or even during the normal delivery procedures. There are three causes of vertebral subluxation - physical, chemical and mental/emotional. The largest window to influence the spine within the first 5 years of life. Chiropractic care can help with a number of pediatric conditions including: falls/injuries, asthma, ear infections, bed-wetting, allergies, colic and digestive issues, ADD/ADHD, and scoliosis.
