Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy & Infants

One of the most powerful chiropractic tools for helping pregnant women with a risk of breech birth is called Webster Technique. Webster technique is a complete subsystem of chiropractic care that focuses entirely on sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. By making bio-mechanical adjustments to the pelvis, Webster Technique can enhance neuro-biomechanics in individuals.1 This style of adjusting substantially eases the added weight of bearing a child, and helps to reduce complications of carrying a child to term.

Another technique aimed at supporting the biomechanical challenges of expectant and new mothers is Sacro Occipital Technique (often shortened to S.O.T.). This technique focuses on assessing and treating its namesake body parts, the pelvis and occiput. With very gentle adjustments, S.O.T. is an extremely calming and relaxing chiropractic treatment for improving pelvic health and clearing the nervous system’s patterns. As the childbearing process advances, moms can feel uncomfortable and sensitive, this technique allows doctors to use gentle adjustments with powerful results.

As in all chiropractic work, the benefits lie in reclaiming your vitality and integrating new, healthy patterns into the rest of your life. During and after pregnancy, we aim to see moms through a healthy gestation, an easeful birth experience, and a productive recovery with the aid of chiropractic adjustments. Benefits to newborns are insurmountable. Aligning and clearing tension in the head, neck, shoulders, and spine after birth canal passage makes baby much more comfortable and able to adapt to the outside environment. There are many studies relating atlas (base of skull) subluxations to SIDS. By clearing these subluxations and allowing optimal Central Nervous System function from day one, we are setting baby up for a lifetime of health from the inside out. Chiropractic care for infants, babies, and toddlers encourages healthy immunity, reduces the onset of ear infections and colic, aids in breastfeeding, and supports healthy digestion.
