Pregnancy Care
Throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey, chiropractic care is essential for all mothers. At Deep Roots Chiropractic, it is our goal to make your pregnancy journey as enjoyable as possible. There is a lot of beautiful change that takes place during this time and it's vital to make sure your pelvis is balanced, your spine is free of subluxation, and your nervous system is firing at 100%!
Webster Technique
Holmen Pregnancy Chiropractor Dr. Jarod Mau is certified in the Webster Technique for pregnant women. This certification awarded by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) means that Dr. Jarod specializes in assessing and adjusting pregnant women!
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment used to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor (dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Creating balance within the pelvis may have a positive effect on these causes of dystocia!
Much like the phases of life, there are different phases of your pregnancy journey where chiropractic care can benefit you!
Preconception/Infertility
The nerves and blood vessels in the region of the lower back regulate nerve/bloody supply to the reproductive organs and provide nutrition to the uterus. By removing stress from the spine, your nervous system and vascular structures are able to function effectively.
Chiropractic could be the holistic alternative you are searching for when it comes to your fertility + preconception health. A healthy nervous system promotes optimal bodily function pre-conception and may even reduce your chances of infertility.
There are many benefits of chiropractic care prior to pregnancy, including:
-
Regulated menstrual cycles
-
Decreased menstrual pains
-
May help optimize uterine function
-
Ensures proper reproductive organ function
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
The goal of chiropractic care during pregnancy is to restore balance to the pelvis and eliminate stress from the nervous system. Achieving this may allow expecting mothers to experience:
-
Balanced pelvic muscles, ligaments, and bony structures, which may allow for an easier pregnancy and delivery
-
Reduced torsion to the uterus by reducing tension on the ligaments that support the pelvis and uterus
-
A safer and easier birth due to maximizing the diameter of the birth canal, which may decrease the need for potential interventions during delivery
-
Decreased incidence and severity of aches and pains with a growing baby
Our goal at Deep Roots Chiropractic is to allow you to experience a comfortable pregnancy and delivery, but also give you more confidence in your body's abilities as you go through a transformative chapter of your life.
Chiropractic Care Postpartum
Pregnancy and delivery are physically, mentally, and emotionally stressful on mothers. Making sure you are able to recover from this process is crucial to allowing your body to get back to 100%. Utilizing postpartum chiropractic care may allow mothers to see:
-
Lowered incidence of postpartum depression
-
More comfort during breastfeeding
-
Greater production of breastmilk
-
Less back, neck, and joint pain
-
Nervous system regulation that may balance hormones and emotions
-
Quicker return to the things and people you love!
Deep Roots Chiropractic is here to support you before, during, and after your pregnancy. We want you to be able to enjoy your pregnancy and have confidence during delivery.
