Pregnancy and Birth as a natural Process with Chiropractic Care supporting this process
Chiropractors work with the body’s ability to adapt and function in the way it was designed, using gentle and safe chiropractic adjustments.
This process removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus, reducing torsion (intrauterine constraint) to the woman’s uterus.
By creating a state of balance in the pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments, the pelvis is prepared for an easier pregnancy and birth.
*************
Chiropractic care may also help with :
headaches
back pain
neck pain
Benefits for baby:
- Remove interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development.
- Allows the baby room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures.
- With proper foetal positioning, there is a decrease in difficulty with labour and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments on babies can assist in removing spinal stress that may have occurred during the birth process.
Spinal stress may cause torticollis, irritability and difficulty with feeding, settling or breast attachment.
With over 15 years experience, Dr Amanda is passionate about the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy. As a mother of three small children, a registered chiropractor and perinatal yoga teacher, Amanda is well positioned to deliver optimal care to women during this exciting time in their lives.
She has combined the calming and balancing effects of yoga with safest and most effective techniques of chiropractic to enhance a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment which reduces nerve system stress, improves pelvic muscle and ligament function reducing torsion to the uterus and potential intrauterine constraint allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.
