Pregnancy & Post Partum Care

The weight-bearing changes that occur during pregnancy can create an increased stress on your body.  Fortunately, chiropractic care can make you feel more comfortable, reduce back pain and shorten your labour.

In a 1991 study of moms who received chiropractic care, first-time moms averaged a 24 % shorter labour; and mothers who have already given birth, at least once, experienced a 39 % reduction in the average labour length compared to controls (Fallon, 1991).

Regular chiropractic adjustments are safe throughout all stages of pregnancy and the Webster Technique – a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers – can relieve intrauterine constraint which typically leads to breech babies.
