Pregnancy Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting the health and comfort of the mother and baby by addressing the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors trained in Webster and prenatal care use gentle, safe techniques to help relieve the physical discomforts and challenges that often accompany pregnancy. Here's an overview of how chiropractic care can benefit pregnant individuals:
- Relieving Pregnancy-Related Discomfort - Back pain as baby grows and shift, Sciactic Pain, and Joint Pain associated with relaxtions of ligaments due to hormonal changes.
- Pelvic Alignment and Birth Position - Proper pelvic alignment can improve the space available for the baby and help ensure optimal fetal positioning for birth. Chiropractic care can also help the baby move into the ideal head-down position to help allow for a safe and smoother birth.
- Supporting Overall Wellness - Chiropractic care focuses on balancing the body's nervous system, which can enhance overall wellness and promote better functioning of systems, such as digestion, musculoskeletal, and circulation.
Pediatric Care
At Guthrie Chiropractic, we know how important it is for children to reach developmental milestones as they grow. Pediatric chiropractic care is a specialized field of chiropractic treatment focused on the health and well-being of children, from newborns to adolescents. It involves gentle, non-invasive adjustments to help maintain proper alignment and function of the spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractors use techniques that are specifically tailored to a child's size, developmental stage, and unique health needs.
