Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a womans life...but it can also be uncomfortable sometimes. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I can help relieve some the disomforts such as low back pain, neck pain, headaches, etc that happen due to the ever changing spine and posture. I have taken special education classes toward a Diplomate in Prenatal Chiropractic care through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Assiciation and have been certified in the Webster technique.
Chiropractic adjustments for pregnant women are safe and very gentile and I use pregnancy pillows which allow you to lay on your stomach without putting pressure on your stomach and baby. In order to cater to each individual, I practice many different techniques including the Webster Technique, which focuses on loosening the ligaments surrounding the uterus and low back which then creates more space in the pelvis for the baby to move into the best possible position for birth. There is more information on this technique and chiropractic at
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. In one study, women receiving Chiropractic care through their first pregnancy, had 24% shorter labor times. Sounds pretty good!!
I would love to answer any questions that you may have.
Sincerely,
Dr. Molly Volkmann
