Pregnant mothers often seek out chiropractic care for one of the following reasons:
Position of the baby in the uterus. A breech baby is of concern to mothers and their doctors because a vaginal birth risks injury to the baby or mother, including cord prolapse and head entrapment. A baby in breech position can also lead to a lack of oxygen for the baby or damage to the umbilical cord. These complications often make a C-section the safest recommended delivery method for a breech baby.
Chiropractic manipulation is often successful in treating the mother whose baby is breech. There is a well-known and safe technique developed by Dr. Larry Webster to gently and carefully turn the child. Dr. Staley has a success rate of over 90% using the Webster turning technique.
Back, neck, leg and/or hip pain. Mothers change chemically, physically and emotionally as the pregnancy progresses. Back, neck, leg and hip pain are all frequent concerns of expecting moms. The pain can be addressed through chiropractic care. In fact, women who regularly visit their chiropractors throughout their pregnancy have fewer complications and easier deliveries. If you’d like more information on what chiropractic care can do for you and your pregnancy, call Dr. Staley at the Family Chiropractic Center. He can make your pregnancy more comfortable and your delivery easier.
