CHIROPRACTIC IMPORTANCE
WHY IS PRENATAL AND PREGNANCY CHIROPRACTIC CARE IMPORTANT?
CARRYING A CHILD FOR 9 MONTHS OF A PREGNANCY CAN BE INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL ON BOTH MOTHER AND BABY. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT PRENATAL PREGNANCY CARE PRODUCES QUICKER, MORE COMFORTABLE BIRTHS. DURING PREGNANCY, MOST WOMEN EXPERIENCE A NUMBER OF NEUROMUSCULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL PROBLEMS THAT RESPOND FAVORABLY TO GENTLE, SAFE, NONINVASIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE. ICPA RECOMMENDS CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY. ESTABLISHING PELVIC BALANCE AND OPTIMIZING THE ROOM A BABY HAS FOR DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY IS SO VITAL THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED BY CHIROPRACTIC’S MOST RENOWNED GOVERNING BODY: INTERNATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATION. WITH A MOTHER’S BALANCED PELVIS, THE BABY HAS A GREATER CHANCE OF MOVING INTO THE CORRECT POSITION FOR BIRTH.
NEUROMUSCULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES
QUICK INFO ABOUT NEUROMUSCULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES DURING PREGNANCY
SEVERAL PHYSIOLOGICAL AND HORMONAL CHANGES OCCUR IN THE MOTHER’S BODY TO CREATE AN APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPING BABY. RELEASE OF THE HORMONE RELAXIN WHICH IS A VITAL PREGNANCY HORMONE CAUSES MUSCLE AND LIGAMENT RELAXATION AND CAN ALLOW JOINTS TO MISALIGN. CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS CAN GENTLY RELIEVE THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT THIS CAUSES.
FURTHER, THE INCREASED WEIGHT AND CHANGES IN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT YOUR PREGNANCY CAN STRESS YOUR JOINTS, MUSCLES LIGAMENTS, AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE SOFT TISSUES IN THE SPINAL AND PELVIC REGION. THIS CAN CAUSE VERTEBRAL AND SACROILIAC JOINT MISALIGNMENTS. THESE ALTERATIONS IN SPINAL CURVATURE BIOMECHANICS MAY LEAD TO HEADACHES; BACK, NECK AND RIB PAIN; SCIATICA AND DISCOMFORT.

‘MAKING ROOM’
HOW TO “MAKE ROOM” FOR YOUR NEWEST FAMILY MEMBER…
WHEN THE PELVIS IS MISALIGNED IT MAY CAUSE A RESTRICTION KNOWN AS AN INTRAUTERINE CONSTRAINT. THIS REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF ROOM AVAILABLE FOR THE DEVELOPING BABY OR MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THE BABY TO GET INTO THE BEST POSSIBLE POSITION FOR DELIVERY. ESTABLISHING PELVIC BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT THROUGH GENTLE ADJUSTMENTS AND EXERCISES IS A GREAT REASON TO OBTAIN CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY.
ABOUT THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE
THE FOUNDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATION (ICPA), THE LATE LARRY WEBSTER, DC, DEVELOPED A SPECIFIC CHIROPRACTIC ANALYSIS AND SERIES OF ADJUSTMENTS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN. DR. KIMBERLY MAXWELL WAS THE FIRST MONTANA CHIROPRACTORS CERTIFIED TO UTILIZE THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE. SHE HAS BEEN PRACTICING THIS TECHNIQUE FOR 19 YEARS.
THIS TECHNIQUE SPECIFICALLY BALANCES THE NERVE COMMUNICATION, MUSCLES, AND LIGAMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PELVIS AND UTERUS, WHICH ALLOWS THE BABY AND MOM TO GET INTO THE BEST POSITION FOR A NATURAL BIRTH. THIS HELPS TO AVOID CONCERNS ABOUT BREECH AND POSTERIOR PRESENTATIONS. OPTIMAL BABY POSITIONING AT THE TIME OF BIRTH ALSO ELIMINATES THE POTENTIAL FOR DYSTOCIA (DIFFICULT LABOR), RESULTING IN EASIER AND SAFER DELIVERIES FOR BOTH MOTHER AND BABY.
