Pregnant?
In pain? Baby in the wrong position?We can help you!
Have you been told that you have told that pain is
part of being pregnant?
Chiropractic spinal and pelvic adjustments will reduce
or resolve pregnancy discomforts such as symphysis pubis pain (SPD), groin
pain, back pain, hip pain, bursitis due to pregnancy, sciatica, pelvic girdle
pain (PGP), mid back pain, carpal tunnel pain of pregnancy and heartburn.
Why be told that pain is part of pregnancy?
Chiropractic care can alleviate common pregnancy pain
and decrease your labour time significantly.
Experienced prenatal chiropractic care aids with
optimal fetal positioning by helping the pelvis and uterus to be symmetrical
and balanced. Adjustments will help the baby to fit the pelvis to engage
properly to help stimulate cervical ripening. Adjustments also make the pelvis
more flexible so that pelvic joints move more easily in labor, the sacrum can
become fixated and this can cause slowing or stalling in labor.
‘Dr. Jeanne Ohm sends
this description of Chiropractic techniques for optimal fetal positioning and
easier birthing: A chiropractic adjustment called the Webster technique is a
specific sacral adjustment to help facilitate the mother’s pelvic alignment and
nerve system function. This in turn balances pelvic muscles and ligaments,
reduces torsion to the uterus. This may offer a greater potential for optimal
fetal positioning. Originally used for breech presentations and then posterior
presentations, current research is revealing the benefits of receiving the
Webster technique throughout pregnancy for the prevention of dystocia. The
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association offers chiropractors advanced
classes on care in pregnancy, including the Webster technique. Providers
certified in this technique are listed on the ICPA website here: www.icpa4kids.org.
Dr. Carol Phillips, DC,
recommends addressing the skeletal system through adjustments, but equally
addressing the fascia (with myofascial release) and the cranial rhythm (with
gentle craniosacral therapy). ‘ Taken

‘The Gardner Bagnell Technique for Breech Presentation
was designed with the breech baby in mind, but has also been used very
effectively for transverse, oblique and posterior presentations as well. It is
a chiropractic technique that focuses on the alignment of the spine and pelvis
of the mother to be.Most recently, a very specific order of adjusting has
been uncovered that has catapulted the success rate even higher. When this
precise order or adjusting is followed, the results are unbelievable.
This technique focuses on subluxation removal, alignment of the pelvis
and releasing ligamentous spasms. However, it is unlike the other techniques
that are currently being taught. This technique has a different primary focus
and protocol than the other techniques. ‘ Taken from Pregnancy chiropractic
