Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Fort Worth, TX

Prenatal Chiropractic Care at R Family Chiropractic

As happy as you undoubtedly are to welcome a new member of the family, the nine-month life giving journey should be a pleasant one! Musculoskeletal aches, pinched nerves, and other discomforts commonly occur during this time, making you understandably concerned about your health and the wellness of your unborn baby. That's why you should look into the important benefits of prenatal chiropractic care as practiced by our skilled doctors at R Family Chiropractic in Fort Worth, TX.

Pregnancy's Physical Challenges

As the abdomen enlarges to accommodate your growing baby, the rest of the body may respond by shifting its posture and skeletal alignment. This change is necessary, but it also produces some stresses and strains on the muscles and joints. As a result, pregnant women frequently experience headaches, neck pain, back pain, and other kinds of pain in addition to their nausea and other prenatal symptoms. This is all too common, but not normal.

The musculoskeletal changes associated with pregnancy not only cause problems for the mother, but can place undue stress on baby as well. The loosening of ligaments in the pelvic region may allow the lower spinal and pelvic alignment to shift and alter proper biomechanics. These changes can cause imbalances that are not favorable for safe and natural birth. 

The Value of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Prenatal care from a trained chiropractor at our clinic can ease the aches, pains, and imbalances you may experience during your pregnancy. Your chiropractor at R Family Chiropractic can evaluate your current spinal alignment and make safe, gentle adjustments to reduce joint stress, muscular strain, and nerve impingement. The improvements to your nerve function also have a positive effect on your systemic wellness that is necessary for total body balance and function.

Both you and your baby will benefit from a prenatal chiropractic method known as the Webster Technique. In this technique, a specific analysis and gentle adjustments to the sacral spine and sacroiliac (SI) joint can help to normalize your pelvic alignment, enabling proper biomechanics and balance to your body. 

It's important to realize that the Webster Technique requires extensive additional training and certification to achieve safe, optimal results. Both of our Fort Worth, TX, chiropractors hold the necessary Webster Certification and have a great deal of experience in providing this form of chiropractic care. Rest assured that you and your baby are in good hands.
