Pregnant Women

Before and During Pregnancy

It is important to prepare the body for the changes that will occur during pregnancy:

• Physical changes: alteration of the center of gravity affects posture and muscle tension.
• Chemical changes: hormonal changes increase the laxity of ligaments and joints.
• Emotional changes: becoming a mother is a significant step that can generate stress and questions for the expectant mother.

These changes can interfere with the nervous system, which controls all other systems of the body, including muscles, ligaments, and joints, such as the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor, the sacroiliac joint, and the coccyx. Chiropractic can help align the pelvis and spine so that the baby has enough space, and the mother can experience a more effective pregnancy. Therefore, we understand that the health of a pregnant woman is very important for her and the baby.

We are certified in the Webster technique, a chiropractic technique that focuses on the analysis and alignment of the pelvis and its muscles and ligaments to optimize the pelvic function of the mother during pregnancy and childbirth, reducing the need for medications or surgical interventions during childbirth.

After Childbirth

Childbirth is a physically stressful event (hours of contractions, baby's delivery), chemical (hormonal changes with increased milk), and emotional (arrival of the baby, being a mother, postpartum). Chiropractic can help improve postpartum recovery, allowing the body to function better so you can fully enjoy this new chapter in your life.
