Pregnancy Chiropractor Newport Beach

Pregnancy changes the mechanics of the pelvis and low back over a short period. Ligaments soften, the centre of mass moves forward, and joints that coped comfortably for years start complaining. It is extremely common and it is not something you simply have to put up with.

What a Pregnancy Chiropractor Newport Beach visit is like

Positioning is the main difference. We use tables and supports that let you lie comfortably without pressure on the abdomen, and as pregnancy progresses more of the work is done side-lying or seated. Nothing requires you to lie flat on your front.

The Pregnancy Chiropractor Newport Beach mothers see here will also adapt technique — lighter contacts, instrument or drop-table methods, and no forceful rotation of the pelvis or low back.

What it can help with

Most commonly low back pain, pelvic girdle and pubic symphysis pain, sacroiliac irritation, and mid-back or rib discomfort as the ribcage expands. Sciatic-type leg symptoms are also frequent and often respond well.

What we do not claim

There are claims made in this field about turning breech babies and shortening labour. The evidence for those is weak, and we are not going to make them. What we treat is your musculoskeletal pain, which is reason enough to come in.

Safety

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is widely used and, with appropriate technique and positioning, well tolerated. We ask about your pregnancy, any complications, and who is providing your maternity care, and we will happily coordinate with them. If anything in your history means adjusting is not appropriate, we will tell you.
