Prenatal Chiropractic in Durham

In preparation for pregnancy, women will experience many changes. Weight gain and lack of balance are both common changes associated with pregnancy. Your back can curve as a result of the imbalance of weight which puts abnormal pressure on your hips. Spending 9 months with these conditions can cause discomforting back pain.

Studies have shown that 7 of every 10 women experienced severe back pain during their pregnancy. The third trimester is when the baby weighs the most, resulting in the peak of back pain. Branching off from back pain, issues involving added weight include cramping and digestive issues.

Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis & adjustment that reduces nervous system stress, balances pelvic bones, muscles & ligaments, and optimizes the mother's pelvic function in pregnancy and birth. Drs. Christopher Winans and Valentina Degiovanni are both certified in the Webster technique.

Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy may help ensure that the expectant mother's pelvic bones are balanced, which may facilitate a quicker and/ or easier delivery. This is because pelvic imbalance adversely affects uterine nerve function, the structure of the pelvis, and may hinder the baby's ability to gain optimal positioning. In one study, women receiving chiropractic care through their first pregnancy had 24% shorter labor times than the group not receiving chiropractic care.
