Pregnant Women Should Learn How An Altamonte Springs Prenatal Chiropractor Alleviates Pain

By Nelson Clodfelter


As a woman goes through pregnancy her body will be subjected to all manner of physiological changes. It is understandable that most women are reluctant to use any type of prescription drugs to relieve temporary symptoms of discomfort and pain. From morning sickness to back pain, women can often find relief with chiropractic care in Altamonte Springs.

Women usually gain anywhere from twenty to fifty pounds during their pregnancies. As the fetus grows stretched ligaments can become painful and restrictive. There is a long list of pregnancy related pain that can be relieved with regular visits to the chiropractor.

Pregnancy changes the posture of the woman and spinal adjustments can be very effective. There are benefits to seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy apart from relieving pain and discomfort. Chiropractors believe that ongoing care during pregnancy will provide the fetus with maximum room for growth and ease its transition to the best position for birth.

All chiropractors have been trained to see pregnant women in their clinical practice. Chiropractors who choose to focus their practice on caring for pregnant women and women suffering from infertility may seek some higher chiropractic education. The designation of Webster certification is one designation of this higher education.

The Webster technique establishes balance in the pelvis, which is thought to enhance the chances for optimal position of the fetus for delivery. Larry Webster, DC, developed the technique. Through specific analysis and manipulations the technique achieves pelvic balance to reduce stress to the uterus and supporting ligaments.

A fetus in a posterior or breech position after the thirty seventh week of pregnancy can make for a risky delivery. Chiropractors use the Webster technique to bring the baby to a vertex position and hopefully ready for an uneventful delivery. Coordinated prenatal care between the obstetrician and the chiropractor makes good sense. Together these two providers can give the woman some assurance that she will deliver a healthy baby.
