Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy often comes with a host of aches and pains, but because these are common to pregnancies, it does not mean you need to suffer through them. On the contrary, seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy is a proven safe and effective method for helping alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with some pregnancies. What’s more, the range of benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy far exceeds essential pain relief.
Help with More Than Back Pain
Expecting mothers experiencing discomfort during pregnancy can benefit from seeing a prenatal chiropractor for more than just back pain. A prenatal chiropractor is an expert healthcare professional that also provides treatment for various other conditions during pregnancy, such as sciatica, insomnia, constipation, and morning sickness.
Prenatal chiropractors specialize in helping pregnant women find relief during this time and have tailored treatments to support the expecting mother throughout her pregnancy and beyond.
Webster Technique: Specialized Chiropractic for Pregnancy
Although all nationally board-certified chiropractors are well trained and educated to care for a pregnant woman’s needs, some chiropractors have undertaken advanced training and are certified in a specialized chiropractic technique specially designed for expecting moms. For example, Webster-certified chiropractors, such as Dr Rykse at Alive Health Family Chiropractic + Wellness, use this Webster technique. The webster-certified chiropractor helps relieve all the pregnancy-related pain prenatal chiropractors do but also focuses on pelvic health, providing the best care to promote healthy pelvic alignment and muscle tone.

Positively Affects Position, Power, and Passage
When your pelvis is aligned correctly, the ligaments and muscles can move and function optimally. This promotes more room for the baby to move, grow, and get into the optimal position for birth without intervention. Healthy functioning pelvic muscles also result in more power. When the mother is more comfortable and has optimally functioning pelvic structure and muscles, she naturally has more power in her pelvis while carrying the baby, during delivery, as well as post-partum.
Furthermore, when your pelvis is aligned, and your pelvic muscles and ligaments work optimally, you are also promoting the best passage available for your baby to be born. Webster-certified chiropractors do this by performing gentle adjustments to restore normal function and movement to the pelvic structures to reduce tension on the pelvic muscles and ligaments. This is important because if the pelvis is not balanced, the uneven pulling on ligaments and muscles can potentially prevent the baby from getting into the optimal position for birth. This is why many pregnant women seek Webster-certified chiropractors during their pregnancy.
