Safe and Gentle Care for a Healthier Pregnancy
Why Chiropractic Care is Essential During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can significantly improve maternal comfort and support fetal health. Our specialized techniques provide relief from common pregnancy discomforts, enhance pelvic alignment, and promote a more positive pregnancy experience.
Understanding the Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment that focuses on the sacrum and pelvis. This technique helps reduce nervous system stress, balance the pelvis, and ensure optimal function during pregnancy and childbirth. It's important to note that the Webster Technique aims to balance the pelvis, not turn the baby.
What to Expect During Your Session
During your chiropractic session, we will start with an initial consultation and assessment to determine the need for adjustments. Our clinic provides comfortable pregnancy pillows and an accommodating table for your comfort. The adjustment process focuses on the sacrum and pelvis, with attention to muscle relaxation and the round ligaments.
We also offer post-adjustment care guidance to help you maintain the benefits of the session.
Supporting a Healthy Pregnancy and Childbirth
Chiropractic care at Pro Health & Rehab helps create an optimal environment for your baby to grow and move. By ensuring proper pelvic alignment and reducing complications related to restricted movement, we support a healthier pregnancy and potentially smoother childbirth experience.
