Pregnancy Related Care

Dr. Woodle offers a complete set of services specifically designed for women who are expecting a baby.  Chiropractic care is perfectly safe during pregnancy when provided by a chiropractor that has been trained in the physical changes that occur within a pregnant woman's body.  We will work with you to make sure that the baby is provided with the optimal environment in which to develop.  We'll also provide you with exercises and stretches that are safe to use during pregnancy and compliment any adjustments made to your spine.

"Pregnancy involves a large amount of stress to the mothers' spine and body.  Chiropractic helps you and the baby to be as healthy as possible."

Chiropractic care helps during pregnancy by:

• Correcting abnormal joint mechanics that lead to joint and nerve stress, thus improving overall health and function.
• Maintaining joint function and spinal balance so the spine may adapt to the increased weight and altered posture.
• Ensuring that the joints of lower back and pelvis are moving freely to assist the birth process.  Proper joint movement enhances pelvic opening.
• Educating the expectant mother on correct posture, lifting and other lifestyle factors in order to reduce spinal stress.

The benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:

• Maintaining the pregnancy
• Controlling vomiting
• Increased likelihood of full-term delivery
• Reduction in the time of labor and delivery
• Relief of back, neck or joint pain
• Prevent a potential cesarean section or vaginal breech delivery
