Pregnancy Chiropractic in Bozeman
At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system can help both mother and child.
Pre-Conception
Chiropractic care at Wellness Montana can help prepare the body for pregnancy by ensuring proper alignment, nervous system function, and overall health. By addressing any underlying issues and promoting optimal wellness, the combination of chiropractic adjustments and good nutrition may increase the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
Pregnancy
Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy appeals to mothers who seek a natural approach to better health. Consistent care during pregnancy can help alleviate discomfort, support pelvic alignment, and promote optimal nervous system function. It can help manage pregnancy-related conditions, prepare the body for labor and delivery, and enhance overall well-being.
Working with a chiropractor experienced in prenatal care can provide safe and effective relief for pregnant women, improving their comfort and birth experience. Dr. Justin is certified in the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique, pioneered by the late Larry Webster, D.C., is designed to alleviate pelvic stress by relaxing surrounding ligaments and reducing sacral subluxation, thereby promoting improved function. This method aids in positioning babies optimally for birth. This is considered the gold standard technique for safe and gentle chiropractic care during pregnancy.
Labor and Birth
Many rely on chiropractic care to help assure optimum biomechanics of the hips and spine in the hopes of reducing the need for interventions during the birth process.
Post-Partum
Regardless of the way the baby comes into this world, stress can happen to the babies spine during delivery. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby has a subluxation and is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side. Having your baby checked out as soon as possible post-birth is a great way to give them a strong foundation in their nervous system as they begin a rapid growth process over the next 12 months.
Mothers significantly benefit from holistic whole body care during the postpartum period as well! Chiropractic care can provide valuable support and assistance during the postpartum period, helping women regain their strength, mobility, and overall wellness after childbirth. Combining consistent chiropractic care with functional medicine and nutrition can help nourish your body for recovery, and set you up for success with breastfeeding.
