Prenatal Chiropractic in Richmond
Having the pregnancy and delivery you want depends on having a nervous system that is functioning optimally—starting even before you conceive. Many studies have shown that women who receive regular chiropractic care while pregnant enjoy shorter labor and delivery times, with less pain and fewer medical interventions.
Preconception
Whether you have fertility concerns or not, optimizing your nervous system function by removing interference in the nerves that regulate reproductive organs can help your body be in the best possible condition to conceive. Other benefits of care prior to pregnancy include:
- Promotes regular menstrual cycles
- May help optimize uterine function
- Prepares body for healthy implantation
- Ensures proper nerve supply to reproductive organs
Prenatal
Dr. Daryn is certified in Webster Technique, an analysis and adjusting technique that helps maintain proper alignment and balance of the pelvis and sacrum, reducing torsion on the uterus so your baby can get into the best position for birth. Our neurologically based care reduces interference in the nervous system, so all systems function better, preparing the pelvis for an easier birth. Benefits of prenatal care may include:
- Better sleep
- Less pelvic and back pain
- Greater ease of movement
- Safer, easier birth process
Postpartum
The birth process can be hard on your body, but the stresses don’t stop when your baby arrives. Carrying your little one, diaper bags and car seats, bending over the crib to pick them up, and nursing all take a toll on your body, which affects your nervous system function.
Keeping your nervous system free of interference with our neurologically based care can help in various ways:
- More comfort while breastfeeding
- Greater production of breast milk
- Lower risk of postpartum depression
- Facilitates healing after the birth process
