Pregnancy, Children and Chiropractic Care
  Pregnancy
is a natural change in a woman's body, so it makes sense to choose a
natural prenatal care choice. Chiropractic is a natural, safe and
effective way to care for a pregnant woman. There are many changes that
happen during pregnancy and throughout labor and delivery. These
changes can cause symptoms such as
-
Lower back pain
-
Neck pain
-
Muscle Aches
-
Headaches
-
Heartburn
-
Morning sickness
-
Carpal tunnel symptoms
-
Post partum depression
These
symptoms are often due to interference (physical, chemical, or emotional)
in the nervous system or the spine that impedes the normal adaptations of
the body during pregnancy. It is important that your body functions at its
highest level during pregnancy. Pre-existing, unnoticed imbalances
causes your spine and pelvis to become overtaxed during these times. These
added stresses lead to discomfort and difficulty while performing routine,
daily activities.
Chiropractic
care throughout pregnancy can relieve the common discomforts experienced
during pregnancy and can help your nervous system work at optimum
efficiency during this important time. Specific adjustments eliminate
these stresses in the spine and restore balance to your pelvis and to the
ligaments attached to your uterus. There are 8 ligaments attached to your
uterus that can cause uterine constraint on the baby. This can cause
long labors and breech presentations. This problem is one of the main
reasons why women need a C-section.
Dr.
Langille is trained and experienced in performing a gentle, non-invasive
procedure called the Webster Breech Turning Technique,
which is 85% effective in turning the baby into a normal head down
position. The main goal of the procedure is to reduce excess uterine
constraint, so that the baby can comfortably move around in the womb. It
uses gentle chiropractic adjustments and mild pressure on specific areas
to release constraint. Midwives and doulas that incorporate this
technique have been found to have the lowest C-section rates among all
other midwives and doulas.
