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 carry at least twenty pounds of extra weight during pregnancy and often much more. Especially during the later months of pregnancy women must endure stretched ligaments that can cause discomfort or pain. Back pain and nausea can be added to the long list of aches and pains due to pregnancy.

Pregnancy changes the posture of the woman and spinal adjustments can be very effective. There are benefits to seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy apart from relieving pain and discomfort. Chiropractors believe that ongoing care during pregnancy will provide the fetus with maximum room for growth and ease its transition to the best position for birth.

All chiropractors are trained to care for pregnant women. Some choose to focus their practice exclusively on pregnant women and women suffering with infertility. These doctors may choose to earn higher chiropractic designations. One such designation is Webster certification.

Larry Webster, DC, is responsible for developing the Webster technique. The objective is to achieve pelvic balance to improve the chances of the fetus being in the best position before delivery. The technique uses analysis and specific manipulations to relax the uterus and surrounding areas, reduce stress and achieve pelvic balance.

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.
