Pregnancy is a beautiful life experience.  It may be surprising to some, but pregnancy and chiropractic go hand in hand. Chiropractic care is an essential component for a healthy pregnancy. Chiropractic adjustments are a safe, gentle and natural way to help a woman’s body adapt to the many changes that happen to a woman during pregnancy. These changes happen in order for the body to create the proper environment for growing and nurturing your baby; and are both physical and hormonal. The physical changes can result in:

• Protruding abdomen

• Increased back curve

• Pelvic imbalance/misalignment

• Postural adaptations

• Changes in gait

When the pelvis is misaligned, it can reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called “intrauterine constraint”.  Dr. Rachel is Webster Technique certified, a technique that releases intrauterine constraint which allows your baby to get into the best possible position for the birthing process.
