Nurturing Your Journey: Pregnancy Care at Discover Chiropractic Broomfield
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change in a woman’s body, and chiropractic care can play a vital role in supporting both the mother’s health and the baby’s development. It is perfectly safe to receive chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy, and many expectant mothers find relief from common pregnancy-related discomforts through care. Chiropractic adjustments can help align the spine and pelvis, improving nerve function and allowing the body to adapt more easily to the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy. It may also result in fewer complications and less likelihood of postpartum depression.
Conditions During Pregnancy That Chiropractic Care May Help With:
Expert Care with the Webster Technique
At Discover Chiropractic Broomfield, Dr. Schwartz is Webster-certified, offering specialized care tailored to the unique needs of pregnant women.
The Webster Technique, as defined by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), is “a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.”
This technique is especially beneficial for balancing the pelvis, reducing tension in surrounding ligaments, and restoring proper function to the nervous system, aka turning the power back on! It’s a gentle and effective approach that supports a more comfortable pregnancy and can contribute to an optimal birthing experience.
Our Perinatal Wellness Program
We offer a pregnancy wellness program that provides unlimited chiropractic visits for a $200 monthly fee throughout your pregnancy, ensuring you get the consistent care you need during this special time. Dr. Schwartz recommends treatments at least 1x per week throughout pregnancy if you’re symptom free and that could increase to 2-3x per week during the last few months.
If acupuncture would also be beneficial for your pregnancy, this would be an added service we work into your monthly program. You and Dr. Schwartz would decide this during your first few visits.
