How we Support Pregnancy
We can help you with pregnancy at our Chagrin Falls clinic.
Our unique approach to the treatment of pregnant women is both safe and effective
for mother and child. It includes:
1. Chiropractic. At first glance, most people do not see the connection
between chiropractic and pregnancy. However, when a mother’s spinal and pelvic bones
are mis-aligned, it can often lead to a more challenging birth and delivery. When
the mother remains flexible and balanced in the pelvic region, the baby can move
more easily through the birth canal optimizing its chance of assuming the proper
birthing position. This is made possible by chiropractic manipulation.
2. Applied Kinesiology. Along with spinal and pelvic manipulation,
our approach takes things a step further by testing and normalizing muscle and organ
function through applied kinesiology (link). We look to balance all the systems
of the body to keep pregnant moms energized and pain-free.
3. Whole Food Nutritional Supplements - Crucial For a Healthy Baby.
We want to give prospective moms the best nutritional support possible
to support both mother and baby. We use only the highest quality whole
food supplements that go way beyond the typical synthetically-made, prenatal
supplement offered by most doctors.
Our supplements are easy to take, highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach. All
the important vitamins and minerals are included along with any additional nutritional
support for those mothers that need it.
We combine a supplement program
with nutritional counseling so moms can breathe easy knowing their baby will be
getting everything it needs!
How We Can Help Through Your Stages of Pregnancy:
Pre-Conception. Chiropractic care prior to conception promotes
a more regular menstrual cycle, and optimal uterine function. It prepares the body
to be as strong, supple and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy. In general,
the healthier the mother and father are prior to conception, the healthier the child.
We help prospective parents, both mother and father, get on a nutrient-rich, toxic-free
diet along with the right nutritional supplements so they can maximize their health
prior to conception. This greatly increases chances of a successful conception,
carrying a baby full term, and birthing a super healthy child.
Pregnancy. Regular chiropractic care helps maintain uterine ligament
flexibility, balance and a more comfortable, pain-free pregnancy. Also, when your
growing baby is comfortable in the womb it can assume the optimal birthing position.
Turning Breech Babies. We use a chiropractic technique that has
a high success rate in turning breech babies, all in a non-invasive manner.
After Birth. Even natural child birth can be a stress to both mother
and child. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby has spinal imbalances and
is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side. For mom, it is important to
re-align the spine and especially the pelvis after birth to prevent future complications.
If the mother is nursing, which we highly recommend, it is important that she continue
her prenatal nutritional program as well. This will allow both mother and child
continue getting proper nutrition at this crucial stage of development.
If you are having problems with lactation or your child is reacting to your breast
milk, don’t give up on nursing. We can help with this as well.
