Chiropractic Care for Expecting Mothers
It is a good idea to work with a chiropractor early in your pregnancy. When you do, the chiropractor can help detect any issues and begin treatment quickly to relieve any pregnancy-related pain or discomfort.
Typically, pelvic or back pain begins as early as five months of pregnancy. In some cases, a pregnant woman may experience pain just 30 days after becoming pregnant. This pain will be due to the amount of hormonal and physical changes taking place in the woman’s body.
Other changes may occur with your posture and spine while your baby grows. When your back’s curve increases, pain and instability may develop and cause the psoas muscle to shorten and create more pain.
As your due date approaches, the body releases a hormone known as relaxin to help relax the pelvis before giving birth. However, pain and instability in the sacroiliac joints may occur when the hormone is released. A chiropractor can combine many methods to alleviate pain naturally. These natural methods will help you avoid medications that may affect the baby.

Specific Chiropractic Care
Obtaining specific chiropractic care is essential for pregnant women. With a lot of change going on and the release of relaxin by the body, there is a high risk of subluxation, causing pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Without chiropractic care, the discomfort felt by the pregnant mom may become unbearable and spread to various body parts such as the mid-back, lower back, neck, and pelvis. Going to a chiropractor is the best choice as they are specially trained to relieve spine subluxations.
The Webster Technique
When we incorporate the Webster technique, we are correcting the position of the sacrum. When sacral subluxation occurs, the uterus can experience increased stress and make the baby have a hard time positioning for delivery. The Webster technique also manipulates the uterus’s soft tissue ligament and maintains the position of the uterus. By relieving uterine tension, the baby will likely be in a healthier delivery position.
