Our aim at Revive Chiropractic is to partner with you on your health journey, offering a welcoming, safe environment for you to heal.
At Revive Chiropractic, we offer exceptional prenatal care to help moms and babies grow and develop well. We’re certified in specific techniques that prioritize your needs during this sensitive season. Through our gentle, hands-on care, we can help you feel more comfortable and function at your best while preparing for a better birth experience.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest and most advantageous choices expecting moms can make. Dr. Courtney keeps adjustments super gentle, conforming to each patient’s needs. We keep adjustments relaxing and safe with special pillows with hollow sections in the middle so you can lie face-down on the table without putting pressure on your belly.
During pregnancy, your body releases hormones like progesterone and relaxin to prepare for the delivery process. These hormones relax your ligaments and can lead to hyper-mobile joints. Some women then experience joints popping out of place or hip bones getting stuck in the wrong position.
When this happens, tension in the hips and uterus causes discomfort and reduced mobility for the mom, while also limiting the space available for the baby. As a result, the baby can turn into the wrong position, increasing the risk for a complicated birth or even a C-section.
Dr. Courtney completed an extra 14-month training program to be certified in the Webster Technique. This method relieves tension in the ligaments that hold your hips in place. As the hips return to the proper place, moms feel better, and babies are less likely to end up in a breech presentation.
Misalignments can also have subtle effects on moms’ and babies’ health. A misaligned spine puts pressure on the nervous system, causing the body to release extra stress hormones like cortisol.
These hormones circulate through the body and can be absorbed by the baby’s body. Babies can also take in extra cortisol when there’s a struggle to get the baby out during labor.
If babies are born in a stress response, they’re at increased risk for colic, reflux, eating or digestive problems, chronic ear infections, constipation, or diarrhea. Problems that start in utero can follow kids through their developing years. We minimize stress so your little one can flourish at every step.
We recommend coming in once a week throughout every trimester so we can stay on top of all the changes your body is going through.
It's a good idea to continue coming in weekly for the first three or four months postpartum. Progesterone and other hormones are still loosening your joints during this critical season. It's important that they all stay in the right place so you can heal well from birth.
At your consultation, we’ll talk about your history and experience with this pregnancy and any previous pregnancies. We’ll give your first adjustment that same day. If necessary, we have a network of trusted healthcare professionals to aid with your healing process after giving birth.
