Prenatal period: during this time women's body goes through physiological and hormonal changes that happens in preparation for the growing baby. In preparation for childbirth, body releases a hormone known as relaxin. It relaxes the ligaments in the pelvis and softens and widens the cervix.These changes could create restriction and misalignment of the spine and surrounding joints adding muscle tension, weakness and instability.
Chiropractors who are trained to work specifically with pelvic balance in pregnancy are certified in Webster Technique. This technique is a specific analysis and adjustment used to reduce pelvic and sacral joint dysfunction and restore restrictions that can occur during pregnancy. With mom's balanced pelvis and align spine, babies have more room in the womb and also have better chances to move into optimal position, resulting in an easier and safer delivery for both mother and child.
