Chiropractor for Pregnancy
Chiropractor for Pregnancy
Are you looking for a chiropractor for pregnancy? Pregnancy is one of the most precious experiences in life that a woman can go through. However, it is also one of the most challenging things that a woman will go through as well. There are both physical and emotional challenges, and Chiropractic is able to help with many of the concerns that accompany pregnancy. Most pregnant women will experience pain in there spine, lower back and pelvis during pregnancy. There are a variety of reasons why.
From a physical perspective, the changes that happen in a pregnant woman are very substantial and create many adaptations within the human body. Hormone changes lead to ligament changes, the growing baby places extra load on the mothers spine, the expanding uterus will often times put pressure on nerves creating low back pain, sciatic leg pain and even put pressure upwards into the diaphragm and stomach creating things like acid reflux.
Chiropractic not only helps with the changing and adapting mother‘s body, it also provides benefit to the growing and developing baby. The development of the fetus, over the 40 week term, places increased demands and burdens on the mothers body. At New Life Chiropractic we have several ways to help both reactively and proactively make your pregnancy as enjoyable, pain-free, and optimum as possible.
How We Treat
Chiropractor for Pregnancy in Grimsby
Comprehensive Consultation and Exam
Do you want a chiropractor for pregnancy? When a woman is pregnant, and she comes into the office, a special pregnancy oriented chiropractic examination and consultation will take place. Important questions regarding the health of the mother, any concerns they have, any complications they are experiencing, and their overall state of well-being will allow us to get any background information that we need regarding the pregnancy. Once we have had adequate conversation to discuss your personal needs, we will progress to a thorough and comprehensive evaluation that will look at your structural and functional health, as well as assess the ways that your body is navigating and handling the pregnancy.
Certain tests will allow us to see how your pelvis, low back, neck and upper back are handling the growth and development occurring inside of you. We will assess your structural loading, your body’s movement patterns, the ability of pregnancy oriented joints to move properly and expand as required, as well as assessing for any uterine restrictions or restraint that may potentially be impacting the movement of the baby inside. The Websters, in utero constraint test is a consistent and reliable way of ensuring that there is optimum uterine positioning to allow for the best development and movement of the baby.
Once we have an understanding of the structure and function of your body, we can assess what ways will be most efficient to help you maximize your pregnancy and optimize your potential for a beautiful delivery.
Custom Pregnancy Exercise Plan
It is important to recognize in an ever changing environment of pregnancy, that supportive exercises will be very helpful. In certain situations, pregnancy stretches will be customized to deal with unique changes and imbalances that are happening during particular stages of pregnancy. There are certain scenarios where stabilization or strength training of certain muscle groups may also be of benefit during pregnancy. Staying healthy and active and pain-free throughout your pregnancy and supporting you with all the knowledge you need is our main goal at New Life Chiropractic.
Specific Chiropractic Care in Grimsby for Chiropractor for Pregnancy
Subluxations of the spine, which can be easily understood as misalignments of the vertebrae that put pressure on the nervous system, impact both the mother and the baby in many different ways. All human function, growth and development is processed through the nervous system, when the nervous system is stressed and compromised, all systems in the body are going to be operating at a less than ideal potential. Our Chiropractic assessment will reveal any subluxations or misalignment patterns in your body and be able to determine the impact on your nervous system.
Pregnancy is unique in that the internal expanding pressure of the uterus causes the body to experience increased load. Coupled with the fact that your hormone changes create ligament laxity, in order to accommodate the growth and development, this means subluxations are often more likely to occur during pregnancy.
The uterus also has four ligament attachment points, two of them on the abdominal wall, and two of them on the base of the sacrum. Chiropractors, have the unique ability to influence uterine restriction by assessing the tension on all four of those ligaments. In a unique way, using non-invasive and non-forceful methods, chiropractors can even help if the baby is sitting in a breached position.
We have helped hundreds of women, over the last 25 years, reach their goals throughout pregnancy and have beautiful natural deliveries of exceptionally healthy children.
