What is the chiropractic technique for pregnancy?
At Atlas Chiropractic, we use a gentle and precise technique called Orthospinology that uses a tool for our adjustments. In addition to Orthospinology, we also use a technique that is specific to pregnancy called the Webster technique. The Webster technique focuses on realigning the pelvis, reducing the effects of subluxation of the SI joints. The Webster technique can also help with positioning the baby before delivery preventing it from breaching and ensuring the best birth process.
Can I lay on my stomach at the chiropractor while pregnant?
At Atlas Chiropractic, we have specific pillows that allow you to easily lay on your stomach for your adjustment. Part of the Webster technique uses a drop table, which is safe for both mom and baby. We also use a handheld tool called an activator, which is a gentle and precise approach to receiving an adjustment, so you can feel your best once you are done. After the baby is born, coming in to get a postpartum adjustment is really important to make sure those muscles, joints, and ligaments are aligned so they don’t return to an incorrect position.
