Pregnancy Chiropractic in Bristol TN
Pregnancy is a beautiful and amazing journey, but it often comes with its share of aches and pains. If you’re expecting and looking for a safe, natural way to ease discomfort and prepare your body for childbirth, chiropractic care might be just what you need.
Safety and Benefits for Mom-to-Be
Prenatal chiropractic care is not only safe but can be incredibly beneficial. As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, you may experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, and decreased flexibility. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help:
- Reduce pain and improve flexibility
- Prepare your body for an easier labor and delivery
- Speed up your postpartum recovery
Tailored Care for Your Prenatal Journey
Every pregnancy is unique, and so is our approach to care. We use pregnancy-specific techniques, like the Webster Technique, which focuses on pelvic adjustments and soft tissue therapy addressing the round ligament to alleviate any pressure. Our adjustments are gentle and adapted to your changing body, often using pregnancy pillows for your comfort. We also give moms-to-be specific pelvic floor exercises to prepare their pelvis for childbirth.
Typically, we recommend monthly visits early in pregnancy, increasing to weekly sessions in the final month to prepare your body for childbirth. However, we’ll work with you to create a care plan that fits your individual needs and preferences.
Supporting Your Baby’s Health
Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about moms—it can benefit their babies too. A well-aligned pelvis provides more space for your baby to grow and move, potentially leading to a smoother delivery. After birth, gentle chiropractic techniques can help address common infant issues such as:
- Constipation
- Acid reflux
- Torticollis
- Sleep disturbances
