PREGNANCY CHIROPRACTOR - GREENVILLE
Pregnancy can be one of the most rewarding and challenging times in a mother's life. As her baby grows, it's common for the mother to suffer from ailments such as back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, sleeplessness, acid reflux, or a general sense of discomfort. Her body is working so hard to help her little one grow.
From preconception, throughout pregnancy, and into postpartum; chiropractic care is essential for mothers. At Mission Chiropractic, our aim is to make the pregnancy journey as enjoyable as possible for moms. So much beautiful change takes place during this time, and it is vital that the pelvis is balanced, the spine is in proper alignment, and most importantly the nervous system is clear and connected.
Our goal is to empower and educate our pregnant moms in recognizing that their bodies are intelligently and beautifully designed to birth. We strive to make this the most enjoyable process so you can bear child in the manner of your choosing.
WEBSTER TECHNIQUE
Dr. Haley is also Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis used to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI dysfunction. This technique corrects these imbalances to restore healthy functioning to the muscles and ligaments in a mother's pelvis. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
Utilizing the Webster Technique, the main objective is to restore the communication within the nervous system and ensure the pelvic structures are in proper alignment and motion. When this happens, several ligaments holding the pelvic structures and uterus relax.
This response relaxes the torsion causing in-utero constraint and as a result provides the baby as much room as possible to grow, kick, move, and stretch in the womb. If the baby is unable to get into the ideal positioning for delivery, labor becomes more difficult and a natural birth becomes more challenging.
PRECONCEPTION/INFERTILITY
The nerves and blood vessels in the low back region of the spine regulate reproductive organs and supply nutrients to the fetus. If you feel as though you have exhausted all of your fertility options, chiropractic care may be the affordable and natural solution that you are searching for. When your spine is in alignment, your body will be free of nerve interference, promoting optimal function pre-conception and reducing chances of infertility.
