STARTING CARE BEFORE PREGNANCY

Dr. Laura Gifford works closely with women prior to pregnancy to ensure their immune and nervous system are functioning optimally for a healthy pregnancy. If you’re planning to grow your family, we recommend beginning care four to twelve months prior to conception to ensure your optimal health.

Many mothers report back to us that regular adjustments helped them feel healthier during their pregnancy. It has helped decrease their morning sickness, facilitated shorter labor and delivery times and increased an overall sense of well-being.

Regular chiropractic care can help with:

Back Pain

Shoes with heels, when worn regularly, will shorten the Achilles tendon, heightening your risk for plantar fasciitis. Alternate between heel sized and try to stay away from those stilettos.

Bone Health and Alignment.

The increase in hormones during pregnancy can also cause muscles, ligaments, cartilage and even bones to “soften” and become more pliable. Pelvic bones may even become displaced or fixated. Since your hips will need to spread to accommodate the delivery of your baby, fixated pelvic bones can lead to complications during delivery.

Nervous System Health

It’s especially important during pregnancy for nerve impulses to flow from your brain throughout your body. A slightly out-of-place vertebra can create nerve irritation, which can interfere with your body’s nervous system. Chiropractic care can restore the function of your nervous system.

General Health and Comfort

Chiropractic care helps improve your overall wellness, increase your comfort during your pregnancy and help you have a safe, natural delivery. Research also shows that postpartum pain was relieved in 75% of moms that received regular chiropractic care.

Reduced Labor Time.

Women under chiropractic care had nearly a 25% reduction in the average labor time verses the “generally accepted average labor time” (With women who had given birth in the past, that number rose to 33%).
