PRE-NATAL

Dr. Jordan is certified in the Webster Technique which is designed specifically to treat women throughout their pregnancy.  This technique utilizes a combination of sacral analysis and diversified adjustments to reduce SI joint and sacral dysfunctions.  During pregnancy, women experience a multitude of changes from postural to hormonal in order to accommodate for a growing baby in preparation for birth.  As a result of these changes, the risk for nerve interference and overall discomfort is amplified, especially as the babies position is changing in preparation for birth in the final trimester.

We often get asked if chiropractic is safe during pregnancy and the answer is YES!  There are no known contraindications of chiropractic care during pregnancy and instead, it is often recommended.  At Aligned Health Chiropractic, we utilize gentle spinal adjustments with the use of pregnancy pillows, soft tissue treatment and exercises to help maintain a healthy and comfortable pregnancy.  The pregnancy pillows we use are specifically designed to hold and take pressure off of the mother’s bellies throughout all stages of their pregnancy during treatment.

Why receive chiropractic care during pregnancy?

Post-natal

Post-pregnancy care is imperative for the mother as her body is reverting back to pre-pregnancy state.  Relaxin, the hormone that allowed the mother more ligament laxity, after childbirth will disappear within the first 6 weeks following delivery unless the mother is breast feeding.  In this case, relaxin will fully be gone about a month post breast feeding.  Post-natal care is often encouraged as soon as possible following childbirth or after the first month following the birth.  New mothers not only are undergoing stress from lack of sleep and adjusting to caring for a new baby, but their bodies are experiencing new stress as well.  They are now lifting and carrying a baby into and out of a crib and car seat most of the day while also hunched over while feeding and changing diapers.  Chiropractic adjustments help to quicken recovery time while assisting the body in normalizing pelvic and overall spinal biomechanics. 


Children

Chiropractic care for infants and children is gentle, safe and essential for their growing and developing nervous system.  Birth is the first stress or trauma to the spine and nervous system a child will endure.  The birthing process can put considerable strain on your baby’s neck, spinal cord and cranium when the baby is pulled and turned into the proper positioning during natural birth or cesarean births.  In turn, your baby can experience nerve dysfunction which can present in a multitude of different issues.  If dysfunctions are left untreated long term, this can alter your child’s growth and development.
