PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic for Pregnancy | Webster Technique
Our goal at Vita Chiropractic is to ensure your pregnancy journey is as enjoyable as possible. So much change is happening to the body in such a short amount of time that it is crucial to maintain proper spinal alignment. Our doctors hold the Webster Technique Certification and are trained to care for preconception, expecting, and postpartum mothers.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This allows for optimal uterine function and allows for a more comfortable birth. When the pelvis and sacrum shift out of alignment, it can lead to tension on the ligaments and nerve supply to the uterus, causing discomfort and spasm. Proper pelvis and sacrum alignment for mom, allows for proper function of the ligaments and uterus to allow the baby more comfort and room to assume the proper birth positioning. Following the birth, chiropractic adjustments can help to correct distortion of the pelvis, restore energy, and healthy body function.
Preconception and Infertility
Chiropractic care during preconception promotes regular menstrual cycles and optimal uterine function. During this preconception period, it is vital to ensure proper nervous system function. Every cell, muscle, tissue, and organ (even your reproductive system!) takes instruction from your nervous system which is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and all your nerves. Restoring proper nerve supply to the reproductive system has helped many couples who thought they were infertile.
