Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, there are several physiological and hormonal changes that occur as the baby is developing and the body is getting ready for birth. You and your baby are in good hands at StillPointe, as we specialize in treating pregnant women and infants, with advance training and many years of experience. We receive many referrals from area OB/GYN physicians and clinics because of our thorough, professional and effective treatment of pregnant women. In addition, research has shown that Chiropractic care during pregnancy can often result in a shorter labor and delivery, and fewer interventions during the birth process.
 

Some of the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:

  
 • Relieving back, neck and joint pain that result from postural and pelvic changes as the baby grows and puts pressure on the low back and abdomen
 
 • Establishing balance and alignment of the pelvis to allow the baby to be in a better position for labor and delivery
 
 • Providing massage and myofascial release that gives the baby more room and reduces intrauterine constraint
 
 • Adjustments are very gentle and help relieve stress of discomfort and anxiety during pregnancy by providing balance to the nervous system
 

 

Dr. Saetre has advanced training as a Fellow in the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. She is certified in the Webster Technique. This technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that creates balance and stability of the pregnant pelvis, reducing undue stress to the uterus and supporting ligaments. This balanced state in the pelvis makes it easier for a breech baby to turn naturally.  We are happy to consult with you and your doctor to see if chiropractic care can benefit you during this important time.
