Learn How An Altamonte Springs Prenatal Chiropractor Alleviates Pain And Other Benefits

By Nelson Clodfelter


As a woman goes through pregnancy her body will be subjected to all manner of physiological changes. It is understandable that most women are reluctant to use any type of prescription drugs to relieve temporary symptoms of discomfort and pain. From morning sickness to back pain, women can often find relief with chiropractic care in Altamonte Springs.

It is common for a woman to gain as much as fifty pounds during her pregnancy. With the ever increasing size of a pregnant belly, the ligaments supporting the uterus stretch, which may result in pain or at least discomfort. Swollen ankles and leg cramps are a few more of the many aches and pains a woman endures during pregnancy.

As the weight of pregnancy forces changes in her posture, chiropractic spinal adjustments are often effective in providing pain relief. In addition to pain relief, regular care from a chiropractor during her pregnancy will result in optimal room for the fetus to grow and eventually get into the vertex position for a safe delivery.

All chiropractors have been trained to see pregnant women in their clinical practice. Chiropractors who choose to focus their practice on caring for pregnant women and women suffering from infertility may seek some higher chiropractic education. The designation of Webster certification is one designation of this higher education.

Larry Webster, DC, who is now deceased, devoted his career to developing his technique to bring the pelvis into balance. The technique is believed to help the fetus get into the best position for delivery. This is achieved with manipulations that reduce the stresses imposed on the uterus and ligaments, in a sense a more relaxed growing environment for the fetus.

A fetus in a posterior or breech position after the thirty seventh week of pregnancy can make for a risky delivery. Chiropractors use the Webster technique to bring the baby to a vertex position and hopefully ready for an uneventful delivery. Coordinated prenatal care between the obstetrician and the chiropractor makes good sense. Together these two providers can give the woman some assurance that she will deliver a healthy baby.
