SHOULD I SEE MY CHIROPRACTOR THROUGHOUT MY
PREGNANCY? In short, yes! Lower back pain is
extremely common during pregnancy. Chiropractic
care has typically included the care of pregnant
patients to assure the patient a comfortable
pregnancy and to help facilitate an uncomplicated
labor and delivery (Borggren, 2007).
Chiropractic adjustments remove the nerve
interference to allow the patient to maintain
proper mobility throughout pregnancy and after
childbirth. How will I get adjusted if I can not
lay on my stomach? Great question! There are
many different methods and adjusting styles that
can be performed to get the best results for
pregnant patients. Some techniques include a
special pillow for the pregnant belly to rest in,
while others require the patient to lay on their
back. A specific chiropractic adjustment called
the Webster Technique has been reported by
chiropractors who use it to correct potential
musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine

Should my newborn get adjusted? Absolutely! The
birthing process is a trauma on both the mother
and the baby. The induced vector of force that
may cause trauma to the newborn includes traction
of the cervical spine coupled with hyperextension
during the birth process. Forceps, cesarean, and
suction or vacuum extraction can also cause
trauma to the newborns cervical and thoracic
spine and spinal cord and may warrant
chiropractic evaluation (Borggren, 2007).
Chiropractic adjustments also are great for
babies who struggle with constipation, colic,
sleep disturbances, poor coordination, noise
sensitivity, irritability, breastfeeding problems
(difficulties sucking, swallowing or latching
on), restricted head movement or one shoulder
higher than the other, ear infections, reflux,
persistent colds or sore throats (Afshar, 2017).

How will my newborn be adjusted? Simply put, a
newborn will not be adjusted as aggressively as
an adult would be. In a review of 1000 infants,
Gutmann suggested that birth trauma frequently
affected the atlanto-occipital joint, causing
blockage or vertebral subluxation.  Correction of
such a presentation may be accomplished through a
light, precise, biomechanical adjustment, using
various gentle techniques. (Borggren, 2007).
These methods can include the use of an
activator, which is a spring loaded, mechanical
instrument, or light pressure of the doctors
thumbs/fingers. Work Cited Get More Information
