How does chiropractic care help with pregnancy
Dr. Erika Fierro brings expertise and certification in the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic approach tailored for pregnant women. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy offer a multitude of benefits that specifically address the natural changes and discomforts associated with pregnancy. Here’s why these adjustments are highly regarded:
​
Relief and Comfort
Pregnancy often brings about musculoskeletal discomforts such as lower back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica. Dr. Fierro’s application of the Webster Technique aims to alleviate these discomforts by restoring proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, providing relief and promoting overall comfort.
Pelvic Alignment and Balance
Through targeted assessments and gentle adjustments, the Webster Technique helps maintain optimal pelvic alignment. This is crucial as hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to pelvic misalignment, potentially affecting the baby’s position and the mother’s comfort.
Support for Natural Processes
By reducing spinal and pelvic misalignments, chiropractic adjustments support the body’s natural ability to adapt to the physical changes of pregnancy. This may facilitate a smoother pregnancy experience and potentially enhance the readiness for labor and delivery.
Non-invasive Approach
Chiropractic care, including the Webster Technique, offers a non-invasive and drug-free alternative for managing pregnancy-related discomforts. This aligns with Dr. Fierro’s commitment to holistic healthcare, ensuring that pregnant women receive safe and effective care tailored to their unique needs.
Promotion of Overall Well-being
Beyond pain relief, chiropractic adjustments aim to optimize nervous system function and promote overall wellness. This holistic approach supports the mother’s health throughout pregnancy, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable pregnancy journey.
