Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy Chiropractic in Port Moody
The first question everyone asks about chiropractic during pregnancy is “How often should I go?”
Most mothers benefit from visiting a chiropractor every two weeks during pregnancy. Some, with spinal issues or who have never visited a chiropractor before, may require more frequent care to maximize the benefit to the baby and mother.
A chiropractor Certified by the Academy of the College of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) is specially trained in Webster Technique and has hundreds of hours of post-graduate training in the care for infants and pregnant women.
The purpose of Webster Technique is to optimize the function of the spine and pelvis so you and your baby can have an optimal pregnancy experience.
Why Should a Pregnant Woman See Dr. Barone?
Reduce Stress, Feel Great
Many women choose chiropractic when they are pregnant, because we are the best drug-free option to correct many health problems and reduce stress for the mother and the baby.
Many women visit Dr. Barone, in particular because he is certified in Webster Technique and Certified by the Academy of Chiropractic Paediatrics. Most importantly to many of you, Dr. Barone has two children of his own, and has experience caring for thousands of women during pregnancy, and infants and children of all ages.
What to Expect
As with any practice member we will discuss your medical history, including any past pregnancies, and what goals you have for this one.
If it is your first visit or exam, your posture screen will include measurements specific during pregnancy. We will also perform our usual HRV, EMG and Thermal scans. Our scans have only sensors. There is no radiation or electricity or any other invasive scanning used in our office. We will then provide a video report of findings.
Your baby is completely safe. There is nothing strenuous about the treatment; he will only do what you’re comfortable with. Adjustments are usually done every two weeks unless there are issues that need to be corrected.
Our moms tell us that they are more comfortable during pregnancy when under a chiropractor’s care. Keeping the mom in alignment allows the best possible natural function in the body. This helps mom, and when mom is happy, everybody is happy.
Can It Help Me?
Here are 5 ways pregnancy chiropractic can benefit you:
- Improves Pelvic Balance – Webster Technique gently addresses pelvic alignment as well as related tension in the ligaments that hold the uterus, bringing balance to the body.
- Comfortable Pregnancy – Aligning the mom’s joints and spine reduces pain during pregnancy
- Reduces lower back pain – Correcting the posture of the spine as the baby grows prevents discomfort. Other benefits can be relief from headaches, back, chest and neck pain, sciatica and tight hip muscles.
- Helps ease stress – Compressed nerves or misaligned vertebrae can cause emotional and physical stress. Adjustments correct the cause of problems and provide relaxing relief.
- Helps with recovery after birth – Studies show that regular adjustments prior to delivery, help the body to recover faster. Proper alignment stimulates the nervous system helping it stay functional, balanced and healthy.
