Having optimal balance during pregnancy is of core importance to both mother and child. Treatment helps to remove the physical stresses during your pregnancy, bring balance to your pelvis for an easier birth experience and aid in the postpartum recovery.
Chiropractic offers more than relief from the pain syndromes of pregnancy and can also be of benefit in some cases of hiatus hernia, morning sickness, and fluid retention.
Using Websters Technique, chiropractic has also shown great success in helping when intrauterine constraint is restricting the baby's position and preventing the baby from moving into the head down position in the final trimester. Breech positions from intrauterine constraint can lead to longer and painful deliveries with a greater chance of interventions such as external versions, epidurals, episiotomies and caesarean sections.
Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association, developed Websters Technique to balance the pelvis and assist in the prevention and removal of intrauterine constraint. A recent study by the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics reported a high rate of success (82%) in relieving intrauterine constraint using Websters Technique, allowing breech and posterior positions to turn to the normal occiput anterior position.
