Learn How An Altamonte Springs Prenatal Chiropractor Alleviates Pain And Other Benefits

By Nelson Clodfelter


As a woman goes through pregnancy her body will be subjected to all manner of physiological changes. It is understandable that most women are reluctant to use any type of prescription drugs to relieve temporary symptoms of discomfort and pain. From morning sickness to back pain, women can often find relief with chiropractic care in Altamonte Springs.

Women usually gain anywhere from twenty to fifty pounds during their pregnancies. As the fetus grows stretched ligaments can become painful and restrictive. There is a long list of pregnancy related pain that can be relieved with regular visits to the chiropractor.

As the weight of pregnancy forces changes in her posture, chiropractic spinal adjustments are often effective in providing pain relief. In addition to pain relief, regular care from a chiropractor during her pregnancy will result in optimal room for the fetus to grow and eventually get into the vertex position for a safe delivery.

All chiropractors are trained to care for pregnant women. Some choose to focus their practice exclusively on pregnant women and women suffering with infertility. These doctors may choose to earn higher chiropractic designations. One such designation is Webster certification.

The Webster technique establishes balance in the pelvis, which is thought to enhance the chances for optimal position of the fetus for delivery. Larry Webster, DC, developed the technique. Through specific analysis and manipulations the technique achieves pelvic balance to reduce stress to the uterus and supporting ligaments.

If a fetus is in the breech or posterior position at thirty seven weeks of pregnancy it is cause for concern. Chiropractors use the Webster technique to encourage the baby to move into the vertex position for a safer delivery. Having an obstetrician who supports chiropractic care makes for a cohesive prenatal care team. This is in the best interest of mother and child.
