Chiropractic Treatment During Pregnancy in Lovettsville, VA
When you’re pregnant, your body goes through a number of physical, emotional, and chemical changes. All of these changes can place a significant amount of strain on the body, but our chiropractors are here to support you during this time of transition. Chiropractic treatments can be used to relieve many common pregnancy symptoms, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Abdominal pain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Digestive upset
- Constipation
- Swollen feet and ankles
- Tight and sore muscles
Our specialized adjustments are tailored to the needs of expectant mothers, providing gentle adjustments to the spine to relieve the common aches and pains of pregnancy. Two of the techniques we use are Webster’s technique and Logan’s technique.
With Webster’s technique, our chiropractors balance and relax the round ligaments and put the lumbo-pelvic region of the body in proper alignment to provide a more comfortable pregnancy and birth experience.
Logan’s technique is used to align the body as well, but its more important purpose is to balance the nervous system. Swelling occurs when blood and nerve flow shift to the hands and feet during pregnancy, but Logan’s technique allows us to direct this flow back to the core of the body, where your baby is growing.
During your prenatal chiropractic visit, we can also provide coaching for you and your partner on stretches, exercises, and positions that can help your body remain strong and balanced as your child’s birth approaches.
