Pregnancy
Hey! It's really cramped in here
While pregnant, a woman’s body goes through many physical and chemical changes. These occur in preparation for creating a suitable environment for the growing baby. While these changes are completely natural, they may result in a misaligned musculoskeletal system, such as:
-Increased back curve due to weight distribution in the belly
-Changes in pelvic orientation
-Postural changes
In the event of a misaligned pelvis, the baby’s natural environment is restricted during development. It can also contribute to a non-optimal position for delivery. A baby in poor position can prevent a non-invasive, natural birth, possibly leading to a C-section or the use of drugs that the mother may not want. At Frisina Family Wellness our goal is to keep the entire body aligned, so it can work effectively giving baby maximum space to grow and develop. We provide drug-free, natural care for expectant mothers that will lead to the best delivery outcome. Dr. Frisina has worked with pregnant women for decades, earning the reputation as one of the best pregnancy chiropractors in our community.
The Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps correct sacral misalignment, balance pelvic muscles and relax ligaments, which in turn removes torsion to the woman’s uterus. This results in less constraint to the baby, and allows the baby to turn and get into the best possible position for birth.
The obstetric literature has determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affect birth outcome and decrease the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Obstetric literature has determined the importance of normal pelvic neuro-biomechanics including uterine function and pelvic alignment for the prevention of dystocia (difficult birth). It has also determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Chiropractic literature has determined the significance of sacral adjustments in normalizing pelvic neuro-biomechanics.
General chiropractic for expectant mothers
Parents who understand the importance of chiropractic care and its significance on overall health and well-being insist on bringing in their whole family for care. If you need a pregnancy certified chiropractor, call our office at 217-787-4345 for your interview with Dr. Frisina and find out how to optimize your body’s natural healing potential.
It is therefore considered prudent that this specific sacral analysis and adjustment be used throughout pregnancy to detect and alleviate sacral imbalance and optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics in the mother. Because of the particular female adaptations from the increase of hormones, weight gain and postural adaptations, pregnant mothers have a greater chance of sacral misalignments and neuro-biomechanical imbalance than the general population. Additionally, because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers may have significant benefit by having their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the mother and baby.
