Pregnancy Chiropractic in Cold Spring
At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic care and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system can help both mother and child:
- Pre-Conception: Chiropractic care prepares the body to be as strong, supple and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy.
- Pregnancy: Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy appeals to mothers who seek a natural approach to better health. During this period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic care, and many report shorter and easier births.
- Labor and Birth: Many rely on chiropractic care to help assure optimum biomechanics of the hips and spine in the hopes of reducing the need for interventions during the birth process.
- Postpartum: Even natural births can stress a baby’s spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby has a subluxation and is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side.
Our ProWellness Chiropractic and Rehab team is here to help you relax and enjoy this time as much as possible. We use special approaches to make our adjustments safe and comfortable for you and your child.
I started seeing Dr Johnson at the beginning of my pregnancy. I had some hip and rib pain. I have responded very well to his treatments. Dr Johnson has helped make my pregnancy more comfortable. I love how he keeps my pelvis in line to better support the baby. Jill G.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are “locked up” receive adjustments. This allows weakened muscles and ligaments to stabilize and heal.
Pregnancy is natural. Why would I need chiropractic?
Being born is a natural phenomenon. It’s what we’ve done to the birth process that has become increasingly suspect. In hospitals, birth is often treated like a disease. A newborn’s introduction to the world is often accompanied by a severe drop in temperature, loud noises and other insensitivities. The administration of drugs and anesthesia can have a profound effect on a newborn.
What does my spine have to do with my baby?
Pregnancy may be one of the best times to receive chiropractic care! Both mother and baby can benefit from Mom’s optimally-functioning nervous system. Adjusting methods are adapted to your size, weight and condition.
