Chiropractic and Pregnancy

 How beautiful it is – the process of growing a human. As with most things lately, I feel like we’ve lost focus on pregnancy's simplicity and beauty. The moment we find out what we’re expecting we’re thrown into a fear-based mentality of all the things that can go wrong. Yes, sometimes something can happen. But most of the time, it does not, and the 9-month process of human growing is wonderfully amazing!


Most reading this know that I gave birth to all three of my kids at home. These are true, are my best memories to date. That is not and does not have to be everyone’s story, but some people don’t even know that it is possible!


It is, and a lot of my practice is made up of pregnant women. And I love it.


Prenatal chiropractic? If you aren’t familiar with the benefits, the entire philosophy behind it can be described as this: Facilitating neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvic area.


That’s how it’s described on the website for the Webster technique. What it means is creating and establishing an environment where the baby and mom are physiologically balanced and flexible.


Still to science? Essentially, the Webster technique helps ensure the baby has room to move and get into position and the mom is not in pain 24/7. It is beneficial throughout the entire pregnancy, but especially as moms progress into the third trimester when optimal baby positioning is top of mind.


There is a side benefit of leveraging the body’s ability to handle stress, but that happens with all adjustments, although a momma’s body will definitely have to manage some stress!

 

I think Chiropractic is so beneficial to anyone with a spine. Having a clear understanding of why and how sure makes it easier to see and enjoy the benefits of an adjustment. Ask a mom who had pregnancy chiropractic care if they regretted it. I bet they say no! It feels good both physically and mentally!


For us too, there is nothing like the blossoming of new life, especially in chiropractic care, that which enhances life itself.


I’m forever thankful to the moms and babes I’ve met along the way.

What is Chiropractic Care and What Can It Do For YOU?

Image
These days everyone seems to be seeking out a  Chiropractor . Did you know my practice was built almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals?! It’s truly amazing. Every day, I put together which of my patients teach together, go to church together, and who is who’s relative. It’s beautiful, especially when it overlaps! We have built a beautiful community within the walls of Abundant Health Chiropractic. I’ve recently been asking myself “Do my practice members remember why they’re coming in? Or why they’re sticking to a wellness plan schedule, often multiple times a month?” Sometimes we all get lost in the mundane of repetition and routine. I had what many refer to as a health “issue” a few months back. In reality, my body was expressing a lack of balance and throwing a warning signal of malfunction. More to that story at a later time, but when I found myself as a patient, and wow did it give me a fresh perspective. I was reminded that Chiropractic care is the foundation of nervous s...
