Getting to Know You
At The Healing Path Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, we suggest you begin care as soon as you find out you’re pregnant. This allows the doctor to ensure there are no musculoskeletal issues, which could impact your ability to have a safe and comfortable pregnancy.
During your consultation and examination, your doctor will discuss your medical history, any previous pregnancies, and your goals for this one. Visits are usually less frequent in the early stages of pregnancy, unless there is some reason for concern. Weekly visits are common in the third trimester.
Our moms tell us that labor and delivery are faster and easier when under a chiropractor’s care. Keeping Mom in alignment allows the baby to present in the best possible position for delivery.
Gentle, Natural Care for Both
Why should a pregnant woman see a chiropractor? We believe the bigger risk is not to be checked.
The strain on the mom’s joints and muscles, balance issues, and pressure from an enlarged abdomen are substantial. As the pregnancy progresses, hormonal changes loosen the ligaments that support the pelvic region. If her body is thrown off balance, a vertebral shift may occur, causing pain.
These same hormones make it easier and gentler to do the adjustment. Since there are few, if any safe medications to ease her discomfort, chiropractic is an ideal solution. Pain and discomfort, especially in the third trimester, are common. Making sure the mom-to-be is comfortable and pain-free is good for her and the baby.
Your doctor will work to keep your spine in alignment, loosen up your joints and ligaments, relieve pain, headaches, reduce inflammation, and help with sciatica. We adapt our methods to ensure your comfort at all times, and may add in the Webster Technique, which is specially designed to help with the positioning of your baby.
