At first glance, most people don't see the connection between chiropractic and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system can help both mother and child.

"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."
- Dr. Merkle & Dr. Dyer
Pregnancy
Regular chiropractic care helps maintain uterine ligament flexibility and balance. When the growing baby is comfortable it can assume the optimal birthing position.
Labor and Birth
Mothers who get adjusted during the birth process seem to require less intervention. When the mother remains supple, the baby can move more easily through the birth canal.
After Birth
Even natural births can stress a baby's spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby has a subluxation or restriction and is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side. Relax. We use special approaches to make our adjustments safe and comfortable for you and your child. Having a more normally working nervous system, especially when you're pregnant, creates the optimal environment for your baby to realize their fullest potential.
