Pregnancy
Pregnancy can feel like a beautiful miracle for a mother. As the body rapidly changes to grow and accomodate their baby, the mother can feel the stress and effects to her own body. About three-quarters of pregnant women feel pain in their pelvis or back. (1-2)
Sarena uses a combination of low force tonal techniques such as Inspiral, Webster, SOT, Applied Kinesiology ( Muscle Testing) and Osteopathic CranioSacral to work with the body to gently reduce tension and imbalances in the pelvis and spine. This helps to alleviate symptoms and most of the discomfort her pregnant patients feel. Sarena has worked with mothers over the last 20 years to help them feel more comfortable while growing their little bundles.
Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:
Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
Controlling symptoms of nausea
Reducing the time of labor and delivery
Relieving back, neck, pubis symphysis and joint pain
Improve baby positioning (breach babies and posterior)
Preventing a potential cesarean delivery
