Chiropractors are Safe for Pregnancy
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, drug-free discipline, meaning the risks associated are very low. Adverse effects are very rare and your chiropractor will assess you individually for any risks before beginning care.
In general, there are no increased risks or side effects with chiropractic treatment for pregnant women.
Your prenatal chiropractor may use special techniques or table modifications to avoid unnecessary pressure on the abdomen.
Prenatal Chiropractic is Usually Done Face Up
In order to avoid excess pressure on your abdomen, once a pregnant patient is showing, most of your prenatal chiropractic adjustment is done lying on your back.
All chiropractors are trained to handle the needs of pregnancy; however some chiropractors like Dr. Chase Horton have a special interest in working with pregnant women and have taken additional training.
Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor through the 3rd trimester
The ICPA recommends that pregnant women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to achieve pelvic balance, giving babies a better chance of moving into a correct position for birth. Optimal baby position at the time of birth also results in an easier labor and thus safer delivery for both mother and baby.
Postpartum Chiropractic Care
Throughout pregnancy and birth, your body has been through major physiological and hormonal changes in preparation for your baby’s arrival. Chiropractors can assist with issues caused by your body’s response to this process.
Referred to as the 4th Trimester, the three month period after birth is a time of rapid change toward your pre-pregnancy state. In general, there are no increased side effects with chiropractic care soon after giving birth. Dr. Chase Horton may utilize special chiropractor techniques to avoid pressure during the postpartum period.
Featured Treatment
Webster Technique
Prenatal chiropractors use a specific technique known as the “Webster Technique” which is a specific chiropractic analysis & adjustment that reduces nervous system stress, balances pelvic bones, muscles and ligaments and optimizes the mother’s pelvic function in pregnancy and birth. One study showed a reported 92% of babies turning to a vertex position following use of the Webster Technique by a chiropractor.
