Pregnancy Chiropractic Care at ChiroActive
FAQs
Expecting moms deserve to have a happy, comfortable pregnancy and a natural birth with successful outcomes. Pregnancy chiropractic care in Stittsville is one of the many specialties of Dr. Brian and Dr. Trina. Below are some frequently asked questions, but please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We want to support you and your entire family on your journey to health and wellness!
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
The techniques Dr. Trina and Dr. Brian use are modified, gentle and safe to suit you through each trimester. Both chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique, and Dr. Trina has undertaken extensive training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Why should I see a chiropractor?
If your pelvis is misaligned or any nerves in your body irritated or restricted, you and your baby’s health will be affected. When these problems exist, it will affect your function, even if occasionally it doesn’t result in you feeling pain. That’s why we recommend that all pregnant women get checked. When your body is in alignment, your baby will grow and develop as they should and can get into the proper position for birth.
When should I start during my pregnancy?
You can begin chiropractic care at any time, even before you conceive. Our chiropractors are happy to provide you with tips during each step of the way, advising you on topics like exercise and nutrition to give you the best pregnancy experience.
What are the benefits of prenatal chiropractic care?
Moms will notice that they feel less pressure and stress in areas of their body such as the pelvis, lower back and upper back. If you function better and feel better, you’ll have more energy. The baby can then benefit from growing in the right environment, developing and getting into the proper position for birth. All these factors will usually translate into a happier baby.
How often will I need to see a chiropractor?
If you’re here with a specific pain complaint, you may have a higher visit frequency for the first 2-6 weeks of care. If you’re here for a wellness checkup and are in the early stages of pregnancy, we’ll likely see you just once a month. Toward the end of your pregnancy, we may recommend that you’re seen more often. Everything depends on your particular case.
