These trained experts practice pregnancy chiropractic care in Brillion, WI, for expecting mothers to help their changing bodies handle the weight of a new baby and have a more successful delivery.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy
As a baby grows, the mother's belly will expand, putting more pressure on the back and pelvic area and changing her center of gravity. The pelvic ligaments are also loosening in preparation for birth. As a result, pregnant women commonly complain of back pain. Getting chiropractic care at this time can help relieve pain and reduce the likelihood of neuropathy. After all, if the back becomes unstable or misaligned, it can compress a nearby nerve, causing numbness and tingling. But when the spine is healthy, nerve signals are able to travel through the body without impediment. As a result, pregnant women are more likely to have hormonal balance.
Regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can help support proper pelvic alignment, which may contribute to a smoother and more comfortable delivery for many women. By maintaining balance in the pelvis and surrounding structures, chiropractic adjustments can help create an optimal environment for both mom and baby during pregnancy. A well-aligned pelvis may also help reduce unnecessary stress or restriction in the birth canal, which can lower the likelihood of injury to the baby during delivery.
Practices Used in Pregnancy Chiropractic Sessions
Your chiropractors understand how to use gentler techniques when working with expectant mothers. Dr. Meyer, Dr. Cummings, and Dr. Schregardus will use low-force spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy like chiropractic massage, and gentle stretching techniques. You won't have to worry about pressure being applied to the abdomen.
Dr. Schregardus is trained in the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment used during pregnancy. This technique focuses on improving pelvic balance and reducing tension in the surrounding ligaments and muscles to support more comfortable movement and positioning for both mother and baby.
