Prenatal & Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Home » Services » Prenatal & Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings significant changes to a woman’s body. As the body adapts to nurture new life, expectant mothers often experience discomfort, pain, and stress on their spine and nervous system.

At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we provide specialized prenatal chiropractic care designed to support both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. Our gentle, safe, and effective techniques help ensure a more comfortable pregnancy, easier labor, and overall wellness for both mom and baby.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on maintaining proper spinal alignment, pelvic balance, and nervous system function. As the baby grows, a mother’s center of gravity shifts, placing added stress on the spine, muscles, and joints. Additionally, hormonal changes loosen ligaments, which can lead to instability and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help the body adapt to these changes, ensuring optimal function and comfort throughout pregnancy.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care:

  • Alleviates Pregnancy Discomfort: Chiropractic adjustments can relieve common pregnancy-related aches and pains, including lower back pain, sciatica, hip discomfort, and round ligament pain.
  • Supports Pelvic Alignment: Proper pelvic alignment ensures that the baby has enough space to move into the best position for birth, potentially reducing the risk of breech presentation.
  • Eases Labor and Delivery: Studies suggest that chiropractic care during pregnancy may lead to shorter labor times and reduced need for medical interventions by promoting proper spinal and pelvic alignment.
  • Optimizes Nervous System Function: A well-functioning nervous system supports overall maternal health and helps the body adapt to pregnancy changes more effectively.
  • Reduces Stress and Enhances Well-Being: Gentle adjustments can help reduce tension, improve sleep, and support emotional well-being during pregnancy.

Our gentle and effective approach at the Mid-Atlantic Chiropractic Center utilizes specialized techniques that are safe and comfortable for pregnant women. Our approach includes:

  1. Thorough Prenatal Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation of your health history, pregnancy progress, and any specific concerns you may have.
  2. Webster Technique: Our chiropractors are trained in the Webster Technique, a specialized prenatal adjustment method that helps balance the pelvis, reduces uterine constraint, and optimizes fetal positioning.
  3. Gentle, Pregnancy-Safe Adjustments: We use low-force, gentle adjustments designed to relieve pressure and promote optimal alignment without discomfort.
  4. Customized Care Plans: Every pregnancy is unique, and so is our approach. We create personalized care plans based on your individual needs to support a healthy pregnancy journey.
  5. Parental Education & Support: We believe in empowering expectant mothers with knowledge and guidance on how to maintain spinal health and wellness throughout pregnancy.

When to Begin Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care can be beneficial at any stage of pregnancy. Many women start care early in their pregnancy to maintain spinal health from the beginning, while others seek care later to relieve discomfort or prepare for labor. Whether you are in your first trimester or nearing delivery, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Postpartum Chiropractic Care Recovery after childbirth is just as important as prenatal care. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore spinal alignment, improve posture, and aid in recovery after delivery. Many new moms find that chiropractic care helps them feel better, move more easily, and adapt to the physical demands of caring for a newborn.

Experience a More Comfortable Pregnancy with Chiropractic Care At Mid Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of prenatal chiropractic care to support the well-being of both mother and baby. If you’re looking for a natural, drug-free way to enhance your pregnancy experience and prepare for a smoother labor and delivery, chiropractic care may be the perfect solution.

Services

The Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic continuously strives to provide its customers with holistic chiropractic wellness. Specializing in a range of different chiropractic techniques, our services can be utilized for various medical conditions. This includes posture correction and chiropractor treatment for migraines, back pain, sciatica, and pediatric chiropractic.

Our services have been carefully designed to incorporate state-of-the-art techniques and newer methods to provide safe and effective results. Taking a personalized approach to each client, we work with a set of “blueprint” techniques that are modified on a case-to-case basis. This strategy ensures patients benefit from tried and tested treatment methods while targeting their unique needs.  Since every condition impacts patients differently, our highly versatile approach provides consistent results across clientele and the severity of symptoms.

Here is a brief description of all the services offered at Mid Atlantic Clinic of Chiropractic:

Chiropractic Care:

This includes advanced spinal corrective treatment to address a range of issues, including leg pain, back pain, and spine misalignment. Our chiropractic care utilizes special manipulative therapy techniques that can help increase the range of motion, promote balance, realign the spine, and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women suffering from back pain. It can also help athletes and veterans with injury rehabilitation.

Corrective Exercises and Spinal Rehabilitation Program:

Depending on their needs and requirements, clients may be assigned different techniques and exercises for faster recovery. However, corrective exercises and techniques are commonly used for spine rehabilitation and other back-related conditions. With over 30-40% correction rate, these exercises are easy to follow and can be conveniently carried out in the comfort of your home. In addition to spinal rehabilitation, these exercises are designed to help with muscle and connective tissue misalignment.

Cox Flexion Distraction:

Cox Flexion Distraction is a popular manipulative technique effective for chiropractic treatments. This hands-on spinal manipulation technique relieves back, neck and leg pain and severe spinal conditions. The Cox Flexion Distraction technique decompresses the spine through gentle stretching or applying traction to the lower spine. It is a non-surgical treatment that can also restore the range of motion in the joints and muscles, promoting flexibility and better posture.

Lifestyle Advice:

In addition to corrective and manipulative techniques for back relief, our chiropractic clinic also provides lifestyle coaching. Patients are informed and guided on avoiding specific activities that may make their symptoms worse. The service ensures patients can lead happy and fulfilling life without compromising their quality of living.

Nutritional Counseling:

Nutritional counseling services provide individualized dietary plans catering to patients' nutritional needs. This includes everything from a strictly structured diet for optimal recovery to prescription supplements to combat deficiencies.

Spinal & Postural Screenings:

Several reasons may contribute to posture and spinal issues. For effective results, we utilize screenings to reveal the overall functioning of muscles in alignment with the bones. This can help identify root problems and provides an indication of the overall condition of your spine.

Foot Levelers:

In cases where postural problems are caused due to a misaligned spine or pelvis, we also provide custom-made functional orthotics to correct imbalances in the feet. Unlike over-the-counter foot levels, our orthotics are designed to promote whole-body wellness.

    Due to the high volume of requests, the specific time you requested may not be available, but we'll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
