Chiropractic care during and after pregnancy
Caring for Mom
Chiropractic care is safe during every phase of pregnancy. Our goal for care is to alleviate discomfort, restore pelvic balance, and support you during your pregnancy and throughout motherhood.
We strive to make you as comfortable as possible while you are under our care. We utilize a table that can accommodate patients in every stage of pregnancy and specially designed pillows to ensure your comfort. Dr. Felak uses appropriate techniques to deliver the most gentle, effective adjustment possible.
The Webster Technique
Pelvic imbalance in pregnancy can lead to altered nerve function to the uterus as well as the bony and soft tissue structures of the pelvis. Altered biomechanics can affect the baby’s ability to get into the optimal position for birth. Altered uterine function, altered pelvic biomechanics and baby positioning are the 3 main causes of dystocia or difficult labor. The Webster technique restores proper biomechanics to the pelvis and its supporting structures. This allows for a safer, easier birth. The Webster technique can be used throughout pregnancy, but the earlier it is implemented, the more likely you are to benefit from care.
Dr. Felak is a Webster certified chiropractor helping women enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery since 2014.
