Pregnancy Chiropractic in Port Hope
While pregnancy is undoubtedly one of life’s greatest adventures, it also brings significant changes to your body. As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, often leading to discomfort in your lower back, pelvis, and hips. Regular chiropractic adjustments help relieve these pains, making your pregnancy more comfortable and enjoyable.
Supporting Your Pregnancy With Chiropractic Care
During pregnancy, your body undergoes rapid changes, and your pelvis can sometimes shift out of alignment, especially as your baby grows. Chiropractic helps realign your spine and pelvis, reducing pressure and discomfort. We use specialized pregnancy pillows for added support during the adjustment, keeping both you and your baby safe and comfortable.
Dr. Caroline is certified in the Webster Technique, designed to assist babies in moving into the optimal position for birth. This technique creates more space in the pelvis, helping babies move more freely. Many pregnant women seek out this method to promote a smoother delivery.
When Should You See a Chiropractor?
Every pregnancy is unique, and the number of visits will depend on your specific needs. Some moms-to-be begin care early in their pregnancy to maintain comfort, while others may be referred closer to their due date by their midwives. Chiropractic care can be beneficial at any stage to relieve discomfort and optimize your baby’s positioning.
After birth, both Mom and Baby can benefit from chiropractic care. The birthing process may cause strain, especially for newborns, affecting nursing or mobility. We offer wellness visits to ensure your baby’s spine and neck are properly aligned, which may help with breastfeeding challenges. Gentle chiropractic care may also help with common infant issues like constipation.
