Pregnancy

Potential benefits of chiropractic before, during, and after pregnancy include sustaining a healthier pregnancy, controlling symptoms of nausea, alleviating back, neck, or joint pain, reducing labor and delivery time, and potentially avoiding a cesarean delivery. During pregnancy, a misaligned spine or joints can occur due to postural changes which include an increased lower back curve, pelvic changes, and rounding through the shoulders. Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is essential to providing the most comfortable pregnancy for the mother. Dr. Angela Young and Dr. Noble Lindberg have been trained in the Webster technique. The goal of the Webster Technique is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. In regard to pregnant mothers with a baby in a breech position, this technique helps to facilitate optimal fetal positioning.
