Mothers giving birth for the first time have averaged 24% shorter labor time and repeat pregnancy labor times decreased 39% (Fallon, 1991). Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can also reduce the likelihood of experiencing back pain during pregnancy (Diakow, 1991).
It is safe to be adjusted while pregnant and helps relieve stress and dysfunction in your body until the birth of your child (Penna, 1989).
During pregnancy, weight-bearing changes occur when we have an added load to our abdomen. This can cause an added stress to the low back, hips and other areas of the spine.
Chiropractic treatments help your body stay relaxed and comfortable and may also help facilitate your birth.
Sacral misalignment can cause twisting and tightening of pelvic muscles and ligaments. This can prevent your baby from tipping comfortably into the proper position in preparation for child birth. Dr. Amie Gregory, DC, CCEP, ANF uses the Webster Technique. This allows her to address pelvic and sacral distortion leading to pain, sciatica and baby's malposition before birth.
This technique helps naturally by applying an adjusting to your pelvis and sacral area. This reduces the tension on your muscles and ligaments. Your baby will innately move into the proper position and you will save yourself from a cesarean birth. It has even been successful with twin births as well! We would love to help you during and after pregnancy to keep your body working properly. Give us a call at (650) 353-1133 in San Carlos, CA or 415-799-7394.
