Pregnancy Chiropractic in St Charles
Chiropractic care offers many benefits for expecting moms: a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy, easier and faster delivery and even a healthier baby. At RiverTowne Family Chiropractic, we’re passionate about helping pregnant women get the care they need to have the pregnancy and birth process they’ve always wanted.
Benefits of Care
Studies have shown that women who receive chiropractic care regularly while they’re pregnant have shorter labor and delivery times, with fewer medical interventions. By keeping your spine and pelvis properly aligned with gentle chiropractic adjustments, we ensure that your baby has enough room to grow, develop and get into the best possible position for birth. Adjustments prepare your body for childbirth, making a vaginal delivery more likely.
Our Approach to Care
Our chiropractors have 50 years’ combined experience helping expecting moms feel and function their best. We use a variety of adjusting techniques that can be tailored to your specific needs. In addition, we are certified in Webster Technique, which is a specialized analysis and adjusting method designed to keep the sacrum and pelvis balanced to help your baby move into the best position for birth. Although we X-ray most patients, we do not X-ray pregnant women.
Postpartum Care
Having a baby is hard work, and your body goes through significant trauma during the birth process. We like to see our new moms as soon as they’re feeling up to it, so we can check their spine and correct any misalignments as quickly as possible.
And while you’re here for your postpartum checkup, it’s a great time for us to check your newborn’s spine as well. Helping babies get off to a great start in life is one of our favorite things to do!
