Pregnancy from beginning to end causes multiple physiological changes in the body of the woman. Wanting to protect their unborn child, many women refuse any type of prescription medication to relieve their symptoms. From swollen ankles to heartburn, the aches and pains of pregnancy can be relieved with chiropractic care in Altamonte Springs.

Women usually gain anywhere from twenty to fifty pounds during their pregnancies. As the fetus grows stretched ligaments can become painful and restrictive. There is a long list of pregnancy related pain that can be relieved with regular visits to the chiropractor.

Pregnancy changes the posture of the woman and spinal adjustments can be very effective. There are benefits to seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy apart from relieving pain and discomfort. Chiropractors believe that ongoing care during pregnancy will provide the fetus with maximum room for growth and ease its transition to the best position for birth.

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.

The Webster technique establishes balance in the pelvis, which is thought to enhance the chances for optimal position of the fetus for delivery. Larry Webster, DC, developed the technique. Through specific analysis and manipulations the technique achieves pelvic balance to reduce stress to the uterus and supporting ligaments.

After thirty seven weeks of gestation it can be problematic if the fetus is in a breech or posterior position. Chiropractors believe that applying the Webster technique can bring a baby into a vertex position, the best position for birth. For optimal prenatal care, a woman should coordinate her obstetric and chiropractic care to create a complementary team that does everything possible to achieve the best outcome for her and her baby.
