Is Pregnancy Chiropractic Right For My Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.
Pregnancy and birth, as a natural process, has the potential to be enhanced with specific scientific chiropractic care allowing the mother and child to adapt and function the natural way it was intended to do during this beautiful process.
Maternity Chiropractor Louisville: Chiropractic care during pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth. In the mother, chiropractic care prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments. Chiropractic care removes torsion of the ligaments that support the uterus thus potentially reducing aberrant tension to the woman’s uterus.
Chiropractic adjustments reduce interference to the mother’s vital nerve system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions. By improving maternal function we are decreasing the potential for unnecessary intervention.
To the infant, chiropractic care reduces interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development. Pelvic balance allows the baby greater room to develop without restrictions to the forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures. Chiropractic care offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth. With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.

Yes, and if you are not already you definitely should! A majority of the midwife clinics in the area refer us many many clients. A pregnancy chiropractor reduces interference to the mother’s vital nerve system which controls and coordinates all of her systems and functions. By improving maternal function we are decreasing the potential for unnecessary intervention. To the infant, a pregnancy chiropractor reduces interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development. Pelvic balance allows the baby greater room to develop without restrictions to the forming cranium, spine, and other skeletal structures. A prenatal chiropractor offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth. With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention. Getting chiropractic care while pregnant has been shown to reduce labor time by up to 60%.
Yes, not only is it safe, it is highly recommended. Our pregnancy chiropractor in Louisville, CO even has special pillows for you to use for all 3 different trimesters as that baby bump begins to grow! The new chiropractic technique we use (Torque Release Technique) is 100% safe, involves no cracking, popping or twisting, and involves no bad side effects like anti-inflammatory drugs which should be kept to an absolute minimum during pregnancy.
Most women get regular checkups with their OB/GYN during their pregnancy, but never even imagine going to a chiropractor even if it is something they did regularly before their pregnancy. Some might view it as dangerous while others might not realize the benefits. While it is true that pregnant women are in a more delicate condition, that doesn’t mean they can’t reap the great benefits of prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care. Whether you’re in New York, NY or looking for a pregnancy chiropractic treatment in Superior, Co, they are trained to holistically treat your ailments and can be found all over the world.
Each and every pregnancy is different. Some women have the luxury of going through them feeling the best they have felt their whole life while others can experience quite the opposite. At Apex Chiropractic your first day in the office will be used to assess your body with our 3 Part NeuroTech exam. Following that Dr. Shane, our pregnancy chiropractor will go over the best plan of action for you in particular. Some women will start off on a weekly basis while others may start off on a monthly basis.
Sciatica pain relief is one of our specialties. There are many causes of sciatica and being pregnant is definitely one of them. Due to all the babies being made in the Boulder, Colorado area, we are never at a shortage of helping women alleviate pregnancy-induced sciatica or low back pain. Sciatica is caused by abnormal pressure put on the nerves coming out of the low back. You may think chiropractors are bone doctors but we are really nerve doctors. The nerves just happen to be protected by the spinal bones. With the Torque Release Technique (TRT) the pregnancy chiropractor can restore proper structure to the spine to alleviate pressure on the lumbar nerves responsible for sciatica allowing you to get back to your normal life.
Yes! There have been numerous reported success cases. Prenatal Chiropractic adjustments ensure optimal fetal positioning by helping the hips, pelvis and sacrum to be in proper alignment. This, in turn, helps the uterus to be more symmetrical and allows the baby’s head to be in a better position to help stimulate cervical ripening.
