Chiropractic Care for a Safer and Healthier Pregnancy and Natural Alleviation of Headaches, Back Pain & Nausea
Progressive Chiropractic offers chiropractic care for expecting mothers. A healthier you means a healthier baby and an easier pregnancy. Your body goes through various stages and trials during pregnancy and labor. Your body must adapt to extreme change and stress. After all, it has to constantly adjust itself to bear the growing weight of another person over a short time frame of just nine months. The body gravity shifts forward and substantial weight gain adds stress to the spine of the expecting mother. This stress frequently causes lower back pain, headaches and migraines, nausea, insomnia, and other symptoms that can wreak havoc on your quality of life.
Many pregnant women complain of lower back pain during pregnancy. This is often caused by not being able to adapt to the weight shift that must be balanced by an overworked spine and support system. How well your body adapts to pregnancy, is how smooth and uncomplicated your delivery is going to be. Your brain and nervous system is in charge of adapting an id needed a chiropractic adjustment restores the brain and body to more normal adaption. A body that is stressed, misaligned, adapting poorly, and worn out can result in complications during delivery – resulting in anything from a painful delivery to problems with positioning the baby correctly. Hopefully you were in good shape before you were pregnant. Progressive Chiropractic recommends that is possible to begin an assessment and if needed chiropractic care for both the future mom and dad before getting pregnant.
Shifting weight, imbalance and pain & discomfort from a taxed nervous system are important reasons for the need of chiropractic care for pregnant women. Progressive Chiropractic and Dr. Bryan Ludwig are experts at delivering high-quality chiropractic services for expecting mothers from day one of pregnancy to birth – and beyond.
Webster Technique for Pregnant Women
Imagine a hot air balloon (uterus) suspended by cables (ligaments) to your basket (pelvis). The Webster Technique was designed to help remove subluxations in pregnant women and restore balance to the pelvic area through adjustments and relaxation of special ligaments in the pelvic girdle. This helps to relieve the pressure and stress that can be placed on the pelvic area during pregnancy & childbirth and it also helps with optimal fetal positioning.
Pregnancy Care
Chiropractic care for expecting mothers includes adjustments designed to maintain proper pelvic balance & alignment and to cut down on complications to help ensure a smooth delivery. Pain relief results from removing friction points, normalizing nerve function and body structural alignment.

Colic
- All children, occasionally have a trip, fall or bump that results in tears, pain, crying and frustration. As a parent you can feel helpless when there is little you can do except give a hug. But when you have a new baby who cries for hours and hours you can feel truly helpless to make their pain and discomfort go away for them.
- Chiropractic adjustments are extremely effective in helping with colic and fussiness. Many times the colic is caused by an upper neck injury from birth trauma, and the sooner it is adjusted and corrected, the sooner the child can calm down, relax, and sleep. The impact this has on the family, and that child’s future, is immeasurable.
