Pediatrics & Pregnancy

Safe and natural chiropractic care can be a wonderful source of relief and well-being for the pregnant woman.

A woman may be a candidate for chiropractic care if

  1. She is at any stage in pregnancy – from early to late.
  2. She has any of the common complaints of pregnancy such as: headache, mid-back pain, anterior rib pain, difficulty taking a deep breath, low back pain, sciatica, buttock pain, knee pain, swollen ankles, morning sickness, indigestion, constipation, elevated blood pressure, blood sugar regulation dysfunction, fatigue and fetal mal-position.
  3. Wants to optimize her likelihood of a natural birth.

Chiropractic care while pregnant:

  1. Chiropractic care is safe and comfortable for you and your baby.
  2. Chiropractic does not hurt. Especially, when adjustments are performed with the ArthroStim® instrument for gentle, precise corrections to help your nervous system perform efficiently.
  3. The chiropractor will not x-ray you while you are pregnant. The computerized scanning system we use is completely safe throughout pregnancy.
  4. You will receive a complete history, consultation and examination. The exam emphasizes the low back and pelvis including the ligaments which suspend the uterus in the pelvis.
  5. Adjustments, which often have the amount of pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato, gently and specifically correct misalignments.
  6. You will receive a Report of Findings to learn more about your health concerns and what chiropractic care can do to help create the pregnancy, labor and birth you desire.
  7. During your Report of Findings, the doctor can also explain how your baby can start life and develop even healthier with gentle chiropractic care.
