Chiropractic Treatment During Pregnancy in Woodbridge, VA
Even though pregnancy only lasts nine months, the number of chemical, emotions, and physical changes your body goes through when you’re expecting can seem endless. Chiropractic offers natural relief from the most common pregnancy symptoms, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Abdominal pain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Digestive upset
- Constipation
- Swollen feet and ankles
- Tight and sore muscles
Our chiropractors use gentle chiropractic adjustments specially developed for the needs of pregnant women. Two techniques we use at Palmercare are Webster’s technique and Logan’s technique.
Webster’s technique is an adjustment that helps us balance and relax your round ligaments and align the lumbo-pelvic region for a more comfortable pregnancy and birth experience.
We also use Logan’s technique to help the body achieve better alignment, but its primary purpose is to balance the nervous system. The swelling commonly experienced during pregnancy is caused by blood and nerve flow shifting to the hands and feet; Logan’s technique alleviates this by shifting this flow back to your core, where your baby is growing.
Another benefit of prenatal chiropractic visits is that your chiropractor can instruct you and your partner on exercises that can be performed at home to support your body through pregnancy and build strength in preparation for childbirth.
