Pregnancy and Children Chiropractic in Milpitas and San Jose
Care Through Stages of Pregnancy
While an exciting and life-changing time, pregnancy is also accompanied by various aches and pains. As taking medication isn’t an option, natural chiropractic care can address such discomfort allowing you to enjoy the comfortable and healthy pregnancy you deserve. Here are ways chiropractic can help throughout the following stages:
- Preconception: Chiropractic care helps the body to be as strong, supple and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy.
- Pregnancy: Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce back pain, nausea and other types of discomfort without the use of drugs.
- Webster Technique: Developed by the late Larry Webster, D.C., this method helps to release stress on the pelvis, relaxing surrounding ligaments and reducing the sacral subluxation to help restore more normal function. The Webster Technique helps babies to get into the best birth position.
- Labor and Birth: Being under chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can help to reduce labor time and decrease the need for interventions during the birth process.
- After Birth: Even natural births can place stress on a baby’s spine. That’s why we recommend that you have your baby adjusted as soon after giving birth as possible. We use about the same amount of pressure that’s employed to check a tomato for ripeness.
Caring for Pediatric Patients
At our office, we see children of all ages, from days-old-newborns to toddlers up to teens. Chiropractic can assist with brain development and those critical motor skills; it can help keep the immune system healthy and much more. We love helping children enjoy optimal health!
Getting chiropractic care throughout life, beginning in childhood, may help your body function at its peak. So for children, chiropractic can allow them to be as close to their 100 percent potential as possible.
It’s understandable that parents who’ve never taken their child to see the chiropractor before may wonder how their little one will be adjusted. There’s a big difference in terms of how we will adjust babies and children compared to adults.
As children’s spines are easy to adjust, we only need to use slight pressure on an area—about the amount used to check a tomato for ripeness.
