Learn How An Altamonte Springs Prenatal Chiropractor Alleviates Pain

Learn How An Altamonte Springs Prenatal Chiropractor Alleviates Pain

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.

Women carry at least twenty pounds of extra weight during pregnancy and often much more. Especially during the later months of pregnancy women must endure stretched ligaments that can cause discomfort or pain. Back pain and nausea can be added to the long list of aches and pains due to pregnancy.

Everything about her body changes during pregnancy resulting in added pain and discomfort. Seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy provides pain relief, but there are also other benefits. With manipulations chiropractic care can reduce stress and relax the ligaments and allow the fetus more room for growth. The more relaxed state of the uterus and surrounding areas may help the fetus get into the optimal birth position.

Caring for women during pregnancy is part of chiropractic training. However, some chiropractors choose to devote their clinical practice to pregnancy and women who have difficulty conceiving. There are designations of higher education that a chiropractor with this focus may choose to pursue. One of these is to become Webster certified.

Larry Webster, DC, is responsible for developing the Webster technique. The objective is to achieve pelvic balance to improve the chances of the fetus being in the best position before delivery. The technique uses analysis and specific manipulations to relax the uterus and surrounding areas, reduce stress and achieve pelvic balance.

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.
