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

By Nelson Clodfelter


Pregnancy from beginning to end causes multiple physiological changes in the body of the woman. Wanting to protect their unborn child, many women refuse any type of prescription medication to relieve their symptoms. From swollen ankles to heartburn, the aches and pains of pregnancy can be relieved with chiropractic care in Altamonte Springs.

Women carry at least twenty pounds of extra weight during pregnancy and often much more. Especially during the later months of pregnancy women must endure stretched ligaments that can cause discomfort or pain. Back pain and nausea can be added to the long list of aches and pains due to pregnancy.

Everything about her body changes during pregnancy resulting in added pain and discomfort. Seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy provides pain relief, but there are also other benefits. With manipulations chiropractic care can reduce stress and relax the ligaments and allow the fetus more room for growth. The more relaxed state of the uterus and surrounding areas may help the fetus get into the optimal birth position.

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.

After thirty seven weeks of gestation it can be problematic if the fetus is in a breech or posterior position. Chiropractors believe that applying the Webster technique can bring a baby into a vertex position, the best position for birth. For optimal prenatal care, a woman should coordinate her obstetric and chiropractic care to create a complementary team that does everything possible to achieve the best outcome for her and her baby.
