Many people are surprised to learn that chiropractors can adjust babies, kids, and pregnant moms. However, chiropractic care is not only safe for these populations but also incredibly beneficial.
The birthing process can be quite traumatic for a baby's delicate spine. During delivery, a baby's neck is subjected to approximately 70lbs of traction, as well as rotation and lateral flexion. This can easily cause misalignments in the neck and spine, which, if left uncorrected, can lead to compensations and health issues as the child grows.
By addressing these misalignments early on, we can help ensure that your baby has the best possible chance at a healthy, comfortable life. It's important to note that adjustments for babies and children are always gentle, specific, and delivered with the utmost care. We never "pop" or "crack" a baby's spine.
Pregnancy is a beautiful but challenging time for a woman's body. As the baby grows, the mother's center of gravity shifts, putting additional stress on her spine and pelvis. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and even complications during delivery.
Chiropractic care, specifically the Webster Technique, is designed to help keep the pelvis in proper alignment, creating a more comfortable pregnancy and a safer birthing environment for the baby. By ensuring that the pelvis is balanced and the nerves are functioning optimally, we can help reduce the likelihood of complications and interventions during labor.
