Benefits Of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Many people have a misconception that pregnant moms can't seek Chiropractic care. However, that is not true! Chiropractic care is a completely safe practice for expecting mothers. In fact, it’s been proven numerous times that chiropractic care is both safe and effective when it comes to alleviating pains and discomforts associated with pregnancy and your changing body.

Pregnancy and Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Here are some benefits of chiropractic treatment during pregnancy and how it can help with overall experience:

Alleviates Spinal Curve Discomfort & Back Pain

As your baby develops and grows heavier, your center of gravity shifts, which greatly alters your posture. This postural change can lead to misalignment of your spinal vertebrae or various other joints located in close proximity to the spine. Moreover, the growing protrusion of your abdomen typically causes the spine to curve too far forward, which often results in significant low back discomfort. An increased spinal curve can also limit your range of motion and affect your normal movement patterns.

At Live Well Chiropractic, Dr Siew Wei performs Webster technique, which is a gentle chiropractic adjustment that aligns the pelvis and includes a soft tissue release of associated muscle groups. It allows the pelvis to function properly during pregnancy. The technique reduces soft tissue tension that may cause uterine torsion which allows for an ideal environment for the baby to grow and move. This technique is also comfortable and safe for both yourself and your baby.

Improved Pelvic Balance

By visiting a Webster-Certified chiropractor during and after your pregnancy, your labor is more likely to go smoothly and without a breech baby. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help maintain an excellent pelvic balance, so your baby can freely move into the correct delivery position. Furthermore, chiropractic treatment helps strengthen your immune system and contributes to the overall health of you and your baby, thus reducing unwanted symptoms or complications such as a cord prolapse or the need for a C-section delivery.

A Smoother & Healthier Pregnancy Journey

Routine adjustments during pregnancy can put your body in a position to heal and bounce back quicker because you’re starting off with your body in proper balance. Women who seek chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can continue to enjoy the benefits after delivery as well. Proper alignment can help new moms avoid injuries when bending to lift a baby, holding a baby for long periods, pushing strollers and lifting car seats!

Conclusion

At Live Well Chiropractic, we offer prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care for pregnant women to help you experience a safe and comfortable pregnancy. Pregnancy can be overwhelming with so much changing so quickly. It’s important to educate yourself, to embrace these changes and enjoy every bit of the process. Chiropractic can be a valuable element of your pregnancy journey and it’s a safe and effective approach to a natural pregnancy journey.

Visited Dr Jason on 6th March 2022 due to acute back pain where I cannot even stand, sit, sleep and walk properly. During my first visit I had to borrow my mom’s walking stick in order to walk, and I needed someone to help me up when I was sitting down. After the first 2 sessions, my pain eased greatly and I can sit/sleep better and I can walk freely without the help of the walking stick. After 9 sessions with Dr Jason, I can say that everything is pretty much well and I’m back to my usual self. So thankful towards Dr Jason!

Live Well Chiropractic, from front desk staff to the Doctors everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. Service is impeccable and staffs were on point every time I drop by to visit. Booking appointment was a breeze because of the WhatsApp function they have which made communication seamless. My chiropractor was Dr. Kenney. One I would recommend besides Dr Jessie. Attention to detail and precise with all the adjustments. I will definitely go back to them for spine health and any injuries related. Thank you for taking care of me.

Dr Jason is very experienced and i trust him to treat my condition which has improved tremendously over the past 9 months. I have multiple disc degeneration causing pins and needles with my fingers. Seeing him regularly helps to keep my neck, spine in good condition, alleviating symptoms that i used to face.

I woke up one morning (4 years ago) in pain and unable to turn my neck, after sleeping in a bad posture. Usually this takes 1-2 weeks to recover on its own. Desperate and in so much discomfort, I decided to give Chiropractic a try, and visited Dr Jason (now in Live Well Chiropractic). To my surprise, all it took was just one treatment from him and I had instant relief! Ever since, I have been regularly going to Dr Jason for the past 4 years. The frequencies of my bad neck aches lessened significantly and my posture has also improved tremendously. Friendly, very experienced, reliable and most importantly effective! I will definitely recommend Dr Jason to anyone who wants to give Chiropractic a try and I am convinced that you will be the next one giving him a great testimony like myself 😊

I have been going to chiro with Dr Jason for more than 8 years, from treatment stage to maintenance stage now. I was in really bad shape, the pain in my lower back was so severe that I couldn’t even sit for more than 5 minutes without feeling pain as my protruding disc was pressing on my nerves. I tried TCM treatments and physiotherapy. These treatments didn’t work for me. I am grateful that I found Dr Jason. He was friendly and patient, taking the time to understand my condition, saw my x-rays and MRI scan. He told me that my condition could be improved. No hard selling. For the first few weeks, I had to go for treatments more regularly. My condition improved very quickly that the number of times I needed to go for treatments every week reduced. Now, I no longer feel pain when I sit for long periods of time! He is the number 1 doctor that I go to for any body pain. When my wrist and elbow hurt, he could feel the slightest misalignments and adjusted them back in place for me. Thank you Dr Jason! :)
