Pregnancy is a transformative journey filled with immense joy, anticipation, and unique physical changes. As your body prepares to welcome a new life, it undergoes shifts and strains, both subtle and pronounced. Here at Billingsley Chiropractic Center, we believe in supporting and enhancing this journey through dedicated prenatal chiropractic care, especially under the skilled hands of a Webster-certified chiropractor like Dr. Pavnica. She aims to make that journey smoother, more comfortable, and filled with wellbeing for both mother and child.
Webster Certification: Excellence in Prenatal Care
Being Webster-certified means Dr. Pavnica has undertaken specialized training to address the specific needs and challenges of pregnant women. Webster technique is specially designed for pregnant women to help balance pelvic muscles and ligaments, potentially easing labor. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes profound changes that can lead to discomfort or subluxations and chiropractic care can be helpful during these changes. Prenatal chiropractic utilizing the Webster Technique focuses on:
- Balancing Pelvic Muscles and Ligaments: Ensuring the pelvis is perfectly aligned, aiding in smoother delivery.
- Optimizing Fetal Position: Through adjustments, we aid in ensuring the baby is in the best position for birth. Reducing the likelihood of breech or posterior presentations.
- Easier Labor and Delivery: Regular adjustments can potentially lead to a shorter and less painful labor.
- Alleviating Common Pregnancy-related Pains: As the body changes to accommodate the growing baby, maintaining proper posture and spinal health becomes paramount. Chiropractic care helps in achieving this balance. It also can help alleviating back pain, sciatica, and other common pregnancy-related pains. Pain might be common during pregnancy, but it is not normal.
- Improved Nervous System Function: Enhancing communication between the brain and body, beneficial for both mother and baby.
- Stress Reduction: With chiropractic care as part of your prenatal regimen, your body can be better positioned for a smoother postnatal recovery.
- Comprehensive Care: While obstetricians or midwives focus on the overall health of a mother and baby, chiropractors address the musculoskeletal and nervous system, ensuring holistic wellness. There are many benefits to having a chiropractor a part of your birth team.
