Did you know that chiropractic care helps mom and baby?

Chiropractic care benefits during pregnancy:

Chiropractic care postpartum:

You’ll be doing a lot of holding, walking, sitting, bending, hunching, carrying, lifting which is hard on your tired body. Chiropractors guide you on the best body positioning to prevent injuries. They help correct postural issues to prevent neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, even carpal tunnel syndrome. Without chronic pain, you’ll be in a better emotional state of mind.

Chiropractic care for baby:

What’s that?  Your baby’s journey into the world can be very traumatic too.  Very gentle chiropractic care can optimize your baby’s nervous system and help with many concerns like colic, sleep, breastfeeding, development and more.  So many benefits without using medications.

Why is it important to take care of my pelvic floor?

Your medical provider may not mention your pelvic floor.  So, here it is.  Your pelvic floor is very important because it holds everything together.   Think about all the stretching, pulling and pressure that builds up in the pelvic area during pregnancy.  It’s for real.   A weak pelvic floor can cause health problems like urinary incontinence, painful sex, pelvic pain, prolapse and more.  It’s not just about doing kegel exercises.  The great news is that you don’t have to live with weak pelvic muscles.  You can get back a strong pelvic floor.

Your sense of calm will benefit you, your children and your family.  How bliss!
