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

By Nelson Clodfelter


Pregnancy from beginning to end causes multiple physiological changes in the body of the woman. Wanting to protect their unborn child, many women refuse any type of prescription medication to relieve their symptoms. From swollen ankles to heartburn, the aches and pains of pregnancy can be relieved 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 have been trained to see pregnant women in their clinical practice. Chiropractors who choose to focus their practice on caring for pregnant women and women suffering from infertility may seek some higher chiropractic education. The designation of Webster certification is one designation of this higher education.

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.

A fetus in a posterior or breech position after the thirty seventh week of pregnancy can make for a risky delivery. Chiropractors use the Webster technique to bring the baby to a vertex position and hopefully ready for an uneventful delivery. Coordinated prenatal care between the obstetrician and the chiropractor makes good sense. Together these two providers can give the woman some assurance that she will deliver a healthy baby.
