Pregnancy and Birth as a Natural Process With Chiropractic Care Supporting this Process

Chiropractors work with the body's ability to adapt and function the way it is designed to.  Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth:

 In The Mother:

• Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments.
• Removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus thus reducing torsion (intrauterine constraint) to the woman's uterus.
• Reduces interference to the mother's vital nerve system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions.
• Allows for a safer easier birth for the mother decreasing the potential for intervention.

To The Infant:

• Removes interference to the mother's nerve system allowing for better baby development.
• Allows the baby the room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures.
• Offers the baby the room to move into the best possible postion for birth.
• With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia (failure to progress) and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.
  

 If your baby is not presenting in the proper postion for delivery,PLEASE try The Webster Technique.

The Webster Technique

Dr. Jennifer M. Hester has completed her training and has her certification in the Webster Technique.

"The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment which reduces nerve system stress, improves pelvic muscle and ligament function reducing torsion to the uterus and potential intrauterine constraint allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth."
