Prenatal and Postnatal Care
Prenatal
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can relieve common discomforts and restore balance to the pelvis, creating an environment for the baby for an easier, quicker, and safer delivery. It reduces interference to the nervous system, allowing the body to function at its full potential.
If you are pregnant and experiencing physical discomfort, chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle, and effective way to alleviate your symptoms. Specialized techniques and tools are employed to ensure your comfort and safety during treatment, taking into account the continuously changing biomechanics of a pregnant woman's body. Don't let pregnancy-related aches and pains hinder your enjoyment of this special time in your life. Consider chiropractic care for relief.

Postnatal
Chiropractic Care
Benefits:

Supports both mental and physical well-being during recovery.
Bringing a new life into this world can be an incredible experience, but it can also take a toll on a woman's body. It's not uncommon for women to experience discomfort, aches, and pains post-pregnancy, which can be challenging to deal with.
After giving birth, the human body undergoes significant changes that can be both empowering and overwhelming. Some of the common symptoms we treat postnatally are:
Low back and hip pain
Neck pain related to feeding
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA)
Pelvic Girdle pain
Our healthcare providers will work with you to address these concerns, discussing hormone imbalances, mental health, thyroid dysfunction, and returning to exercise. We're here to support you every step of the way, so you can feel confident and empowered as you navigate motherhood.
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a chiropractic adjustment that helps balance pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments and optimizes the mother’s pelvic function during pregnancy and birth. Balancing your pelvis may decrease the chance of a breech or transverse presentation by reducing soft tissue tension allowing for an ideal environment for the growth of the baby. The Webster Technique is also beneficial at providing relief for common sciatic and lower back pains women often experience during pregnancy.
Dr. Smith is certified in the Webster Technique and has had great success using it to alleviate discomfort and enhance the pregnancy experience. We’d love to see if it’s the perfect solution for you and your baby.
