Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy | Prenatal Chiropractor in West Omaha, NE
Hi, I’m Dr. Joel Marley, at Family First Chiropractic, and a healthy mom equals a healthy baby, thus a healthy delivery. So I’m here to explain how at Family First Chiropractic, we take care of fabulously gravid pregnant expecting mothers.
We Start with an Assessment
So it starts with the first the assessment. So neurologically, a miracle happened, and two cells came together, and then nine months, she knits together 70 trillion cells and a perfect little baby. And when her body is healthy, she’ll deliver a beautiful, healthy, natural baby. So here’s how we do it. First of all, neurologically, we know that nerves control everything, it’s what’s sending the message to messages to the baby’s body, to build the cells, build the communication and knit this wonderful miracle together in the womb. So we check mothers nerve supply with inflammation by checking inflammation. Now we use thermography. If, if we are taken care of, and that’s what we love and family. First, we love taking care of couples before they get married before they even get pregnant. And when they’re healthy miracles happen. In this case, inflammation is checked with thermography. So we use a tight Tron, which is an infrared thermography, non invasive, not radiation, not an x ray, to be able to scan to check for hotspots, because we know that her body is changing. Quickly, Amy, I know it’s changing. And with this change in her body, it can send different send different signals and send different messages and create different hotspots and different subluxation patterns. We check it with this.
We Check for Inflammation
So we know with her nervous system scan that she’s eliciting because of her center of gravity changing and then starting to show so to speak, that this area is the most inflammation, we will also check it with the delta T which is another thermography device to check where again, the most inflammation, thus nerve irritation is located. So now that we need to determine that an adjustment needs to be delivered on our L five vertebrae. Based on our objective findings of inflammation, range of motion, static palpation, we’re gonna go ahead and deliver an adjustment. So we want to show you if you’re an expecting mother watching this video, you want to know what is an adjustment look like? What is it? What does it feel like for a mother that’s bodies changing both on the top and the bottom.
We Perform a Gentle and Easy Adjustment
So I’m going to demonstrate what an adjustment looks like Go ahead and stand in. And then go ahead. So this is called a knee chest table. So when the God says system, this is a very versatile table to utilize for many different patients, but especially the ones that are fabulously expecting. So on this table, you’ll notice her tummy is able to hang down, free out of gravity, no pressure up against it. And also on the front side, this is tapered. So the girls, right, the front side as it’s changing, that there’s no pressure on it. So it should be a pretty comfortable position. But let me ask, Amy, is it comfortable? Okay, so we’re gonna deliver an adjustment at L five. So we’re gonna be lifting this vertebrae all five forward and up right to the display line to help her in her transition of her center of gravity changing and neurologically to uterus and to a growing baby. I want that uterus to have perfect tone. So there’s no inter uterine constraint which can hold up the natural birth process. So delivery of an adjustment looks like this. Gentle squeeze here, and then there’s pressure right there.
That’s how we take care of fabulously pregnant expecting mothers at Family First Chiropractic.
