Pregnancy and Postnatal Chiropractor in Northwest Calgary
When you’re pregnant, your baby’s health is always at the forefront as your mind. You know that everything you feel and experience is passed directly onto your baby. You want to make sure that you have a healthy body and get everything you need to be at your best.
At Beacon Hill Chiropractic and Massage, we love guiding expecting women through this special time of their lives. We’ll coach and support you through your whole pregnancy journey, from preconception to postpartum.
Your Physical and Mental Well-Being
Chiropractic will help promote the healthy structure and alignment of your body. Our care, however, goes far beyond that. We’ll talk about your perspective about birth, including any fears or anxieties you have. There is a supportive, educational facet to your care with us that expecting moms love and appreciate.
You deserve to feel empowered to have a beautiful birthing experience that’s just as you have dreamed of. Birth doesn’t have to be something you dread. We’ll help you see and look forward to the beauty in it!
With prenatal care, we want to ensure your back and pelvis are in good shape and functioning at their best. Nutrition matters, too, since everything you take in is shared with your baby. We’ll make sure you stay ahead of the curve so you don’t run into problems with any nutrient deficiencies and can recover quickly after birth.
You may have heard of the Webster Technique that is commonly used on pregnant chiropractic patients. It’s a system of screening and evaluating moms who have reached the end of their second or their third trimester of pregnancy. It balances your low back and pelvis to make sure everything is symmetrical and ready for birth.
Our chiropractors provide gentle care during pregnancy. They may use their hands, an instrument or perform a table-assisted adjustment as needed. Your care will always be tailored to what’s appropriate for you.
We’ll work with you during any stage of your journey, from preconception to postpartum. After birth, there’s tons of new demands on your body. You can experience ligament laxity, pelvic floor weakness, nerve damage and more. If you’re breastfeeding, it’ll help your body clean out the relaxin hormone that loosened up all your ligaments during pregnancy. We’ll encourage that while discussing proper posture and alignment so you can return to a balanced, functioning state.
