Is Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Safe?
Chiropractic care is absolutely safe for you and your unborn baby. Where the mother is concerned, prenatal chiropractic care goes beyond simply resolving low back or hip pain. We want to help to reduce any interference within the nervous system that is preventing proper alignment, balance, and desired comfort.
The health of the mother plays a significant role in the well-being of infants in utero. If the mother’s body is aligned, balanced, and relaxed, including correct pelvic positioning, the baby is able to pass through the birth canal much more easily – ultimately, allowing for a safer, more comfortable labor and delivery.
Rest assured, pregnancy pillows are available for your comfort during your adjustment, and we do not perform electrical stimulation or ultrasound on pregnant patients.
Common Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Children of all ages can benefit from pediatric chiropractic care. Among colic and ear infections, chiropractic care has also been known to decrease the effects of the following common ailments:
- Weakened immune system
- Constipation
- Bed wetting
- Scoliosis
- Behavioral issues
- Developmental problems
If your child is suffering from one of the complications mentioned above or an unlisted symptom, we are here to help.
Oftentimes, nerve interference is enough to confuse your child’s body and drive them away from utmost health. Pediatric adjustments are designed to relieve the simple, unwelcome pressure that may be causing severe consequences.
A Gentle Approach
Prenatal and pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle. During prenatal adjustments, the mother’s body remains neutral, never requiring any twisting of the abdomen. Our job is not to directly move or change the position of infant, but to help establish a safe environment inside the mother that is conducive to appropriate development and positioning.
Similarly, pediatric adjustments are often made with very little pressure. For babies, no more pressure is applied than one would place on a ripe tomato. Growing children are also adjusted with the most careful, tender touch.
