Prenatal Chiropractic: The Benefits
Mothers find chiropractic care to be a gentle and effect therapy throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Webster's Technique
Webster's Technique is a type of chiropractic treatment that uses gentle adjustments to the joints of your sacrum and pelvis.
There is research that shows this technique has had favorable results in preventing and reversing a breech position.
An additional component of this technique utilizes a soft tissue release of the round ligament. Mothers often seek this technique to relieve pain and tension in the lower back and abdominal region.
Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is probably the most significant physical change your body has gone through in a short period of time.
Physical changes can add new stresses to the neck and lower back. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can restore normal movement to those joints and relieve tension in the surrounding muscles.

The Treatment Table & The Adjustment
The Treatment Table
Can I lay on my stomach while pregnant?
The chiropractic tables at Green Space Health are ergonomically built for every body-type. The tables can be adjusted to allow you to comfortably lay face-down without added pressure to the abdomen. Some mothers find this alone to relieve the tension in the lower back.
The Adjustment
Throughout the course of your pregnancy abnormal movements, poor sleep and added weight can all contribute to strains on the neck and back.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments can restore movement to individual joints and relieve tension in the surrounding muscles. A chiropractic adjustment performed properly is brief, painless and effective.
Nutrition During Pregnancy
The human body requires a significant amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to thrive optimally. A mother and her developing baby can require additional support.
From Prenatal Vitamins to Vitamin D deficiency screening, Green Space Health offers comprehensive nutritional evaluations to patients interested in improving their overall health.
When Should You Start Treatment?

This depends entirely on the individual and their need for care.
