Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a prenatal chiropractor?

It is important to get prenatal chiropractic from a doctor who is certified in Webster Technique through the ICPA. This technique addresses neuro-biomechanical tension of the uterus and pelvis, allowing for the pelvis and birth canal to expand through pregnancy, labor, and birth. When there is tension on the uterus it can restrict the movement of the baby (and we all know how much babies prefer to move and wiggle!). Imagine trying to get into a bed when all the sheets are tucked in. If we can release uterine tension and balance the pelvis, it’s as if we are ‘untucking the sheets’ and allowing more room to move so the baby can find optimal positioning. Some pregnant women report feeling their baby move more after receiving Webster Technique.

Is it safe to be adjusted while pregnant?

Yes! Chiropractic, in general, is very safe and effective. Dr. Ashley has done extensive specialized training to care for pregnant mamas. With advanced education in perinatal care, we understand pregnancy and the special needs that come with this exciting time of life. We use special tables and specifically designed pregnancy pillows to ensure mama is both safe and comfortable during adjustments.

Do I have to keep coming in after birth (postpartum)?

Immediately following a woman’s birth, the body immediately begins working to tighten ligaments, realign organs, and realign bones. It is a process that takes TIME (up to a year in fact!), and while this is happening, postpartum mothers are altering their bodies by holding their new baby, learning to breastfeed, and surviving in a state of exhaustion. A new mother’s body is not in its peak performance state. Seeing a chiropractor after birth grants mothers the ability to jump-start their body’s healing process. Chiropractic care ensures proper blood flow to these tightening ligaments, aligns the spine to allow proper communication within the nervous system (the way the brain and body communicate), and as an added bonus can alleviate aches, pains, and other symptoms.

What are some things to look for when trying to find a chiropractor?

The #1 thing you should look for in a chiropractor is someone who talks about your nervous system. Pain is the last sign of dysfunction so there is a lot more happening within your body before you physically feel it. A side effect of removing interference to your body’s nervous system — which allows your body to heal itself — is that your pain goes away. Chiropractic is not about back pain or neck pain because it’s so much more than pain relief, though we are really good at getting you out of pain!

Why would a baby or child need to see a chiropractor?

The lasting effects birth has on the health of infants and children is not something that is addressed in conventional healthcare. Some things that can cause trauma during birth include: Very long labor Pain medications Restricted birthing positions Pulling or twisting on baby’s head during delivery Cesarean When this trauma is left uncorrected it can often cause neurological dysfunction and kick a child’s nervous system into fight-or-flight mode, causing many health challenges that could have been prevented. Nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, inability to be soothed, colic, constipation, and reflux are examples and signs of how spinal nerve stress can impact infants.
