Chiropractic

 Chiropractic care can be highly beneficial during pregnancy, offering support for the physical changes and discomfort that many expectant parents experience. As the body adapts to the growing baby, the spine and pelvis are often placed under additional stress, leading to misalignments, pain, and limited mobility. Regular chiropractic adjustments help maintain proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, which can reduce back pain, sciatica, and joint discomfort. These adjustments also improve nervous system function, which is important for overall health and well-being, supporting the body as it undergoes these significant changes.

Beyond pain relief, chiropractic care can help ensure optimal pelvic alignment, which plays a key role in the baby’s positioning during the final stages of pregnancy. Misalignments in the pelvis can limit the space available for the baby to move into an ideal position for birth, potentially leading to complications. Techniques used are specifically designed to balance the pelvis and help create optimal conditions for the baby’s development and delivery. By promoting pelvic balance and relieving discomfort, chiropractic care during pregnancy supports both the birthing parent’s comfort and the health of the baby, contributing to a more positive pregnancy and birth experience.

 

Prenatal Massage

Massage during pregnancy is therapeutic bodywork which focuses on the special needs of the birthing parent as their body goes through the dramatic changes of the pregnancy and childbirth experience. Massage therapy enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue. Some studies have shown that prenatal massage can actually reduce the stress hormones released in the body. 

Post Partum Support

The 4th trimester, aka the post-partum period is a time when birthing parents are undergoing an enormous hormonal and physical adjustment period. It is common to feel exhausted and emotionally imbalanced. Your output is often much more than your input, which leaves many new parents feeling overwhelmed, tired and imbalanced. Our Acupuncturists support patients in this period to help combat exhaustion/fatigue, get hormones back in balance, offer lactation support and offer parents an opportunity to get grounded and centered. This is an incredibly challenging time for most parents and treatment is a great opportunity to get some additional support.
