Chiropractic Care for Pelvic Pain in Pregnancy

While pregnancy is a beautiful life-changing journey, it can also bring discomfort and pain, especially in the pelvic region. Fortunately, chiropractic care, specifically provided by a Webster-certified chiropractor like Dr. Katie, can relieve pelvic pain and ensure proper pelvis alignment.

What Is the Webster Technique?

Webster certification is a specialized chiropractic technique recognized by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Using this method, we can assess and adjust the pubic symphysis, pelvic bowl, and associated ligaments and muscle tissues. This certification ensures that chiropractors have the necessary skills and expertise to provide safe and effective care to pregnant women, postpartum individuals, and those trying to conceive.

Addressing Pelvic Pain and Misalignment

During pregnancy, hormonal changes, specifically the release of relaxin, can lead to increased looseness in ligaments and sensations. This, coupled with the shifting of the pubic symphysis and misalignment of the pelvis, can result in pelvic pain and lower back pain.

At Family Connection Chiropractic, Dr. Katie thoroughly analyzes these areas, considering sacral alignment, pubic bone alignment, hip alignment, and other contributing ligaments and tissues. By using the Webster Technique, she works toward realigning the pelvis and relieving pelvic pain.

Safe & Gentle Care Throughout the Prenatal Period

Seeking chiropractic care from a Webster-certified practitioner during pregnancy offers numerous benefits. The gentle adjustments and personalized treatment plans ensure safe care for both the mother and the developing baby. Whether you are in your first trimester or nearing your due date, chiropractic care can address pelvic pain and promote a more balanced pregnancy experience.

Early intervention is essential for chiropractic care during pregnancy. The release of relaxin makes the system more prone to misalignment, and starting treatment as soon as possible can prevent further discomfort and complications. Patients who begin chiropractic care right after discovering their pregnancy tend to have better pregnancies and postpartum outcomes. By addressing misalignments early on, the body can establish and maintain proper balance throughout the entire journey.
