Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Marietta

At Perfect By Design, we understand the important role chiropractic can play in preconception, pregnancy and postpartum. A well-functioning nervous system for mom will help build a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy. An optimal nervous system is pivotal to the growth and development of baby while inside and outside of the womb. An additional bonus is that it also aids in the comfort and overall quality of life for mom too!

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Moms under chiropractic care have experienced the following benefits:

  • Improve overall comfort
  • Reduces labor & delivery times
  • Decreases the changes for intervention during birth
  • Supports natural labor & delivery
  • Encourages ideal position for baby through optimal pelvic alignment
  • Alleviate neck, back, hip and pelvic pain
  • An increase in restful nights of sleep
  • More energy

Technique

The technique our Doctors use and are certified in is called Webster Technique. This technique is used on pregnant women because it encourages optimal alignment and stability of the pelvis. This approach first assesses the alignment of the pelvis and tension within surrounding structures. Then specific adjustments are used to reduce the tension and constraint placed on the uterus because of the misalignments. By maintaining this correct alignment and balance of the nervous system for the duration of pregnancy it can support an ideal labor and delivery and thus result in comfort and health for both mom and baby.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Will adjustments hurt my baby?
    Of course not. This is a common concern among parents who mistakenly think their child will receive adjustments like the ones they receive. Not only are adjusting techniques modified for each person’s size and unique spinal problem, an infant’s spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults. This makes the energy needed to adjust a child’s spine considerably less than an adult’s does.
  • Will adjustments make my spine too loose?
    No. Only the spinal joints that are “locked up” receive adjustments. This allows weakened muscles and ligaments to stabilize and heal.
  • Pregnancy is natural. Why would I need chiropractic?
    Being born is a natural phenomenon. It’s what we’ve done to the birth process that has become increasingly suspect. In hospitals, birth is often treated like a disease. A newborn’s introduction to the world is often accompanied by a severe drop in temperature, loud noises and other insensitivities. The administration of drugs and anesthesia can have a profound effect on a newborn.
  • Will my medical doctor approve?
    First, you don’t need anyone’s approval to seek a chiropractic opinion about health issues affecting your child! The judgment of another health care expert is always helpful in the decision-making process. Medical practitioners keeping up with the latest pediatric chiropractic research are starting to understand the value of this natural, drug-free approach to better health.
  • What does my spine have to do with my baby?
    Pregnancy may be one of the best times to receive chiropractic care! While it’s always good to have an optimally functioning nervous system, it’s especially helpful now. Both mother and baby can benefit. Adjusting methods are adapted to a mother’s size, weight and condition. During this period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic care. Some report shorter and easier births.
