In addition to helping control aches and pains during pregnancy, chiropractic care has been demonstrated in studies to reduce labor time and reduce the likelihood of back pain during labor. Natural, and drug-free, chiropractic is better for baby and mom!

Thanks for sharing that video!

I need to get one of our clients to do a testimonial on video too. She is also pregnant and has a history of difficult pregnancies, including 5 miscarriages.
She was referred into our office for headaches. After just one specific upper cervical adjustment (and in just two short weeks) her body has begun healing dramatically and functioning much better.

Prior to care she reported the following concerns:
–headaches every day, sometimes migraines
–acid reflux or heartburn with nearly every meal (a common occurrence during all of her pregnancies)
–pain and tightness in the right hip, low back, and sacroiliac joints
–stiff sore muscles in the neck

After the 1st adjustment in our initial program of vitalistic upper cervical specific care she reported these changes:
–fewer headaches (every other day instead of daily)
–NO more pain or tightness in the neck
–reduced pain in her hip and low back, although sacroiliac joints were still tender to the touch

After two weeks and just that 1st adjustment to her Atlas (C-1 vertebra) she reported:
–NO more Headaches
–NO more pain or tightness in the hip, low back, or sacroiliac joints
–sensation of better balance and alignment in her hips
–improved digestion
–NO more acid reflux or heartburn
–she thanked me for encouraging her to drink more water (something she new, but wasn’t doing regularly)
–she mentioned feeling more even and lined up, especially in her head and neck
–and she noticed she’d been sleeping better and more comfortably

So, do you think her 20 week old baby developing inside is benefiting from Mommy’s better function?
She is absolutely thrilled with her care and has been talking to her friends and family members about how much better she’s been feeling.
In my opinion, every expecting mother owes it to her baby and future generations to get checked (and adjusted if necessary) to ensure her body is performing at its very best!

An atlas adjustment for every woman and child who needs it! Who could argue with the results that these patients are seeing!?
