Prenatal Care
care specific to your prenatal needs
ELEVATION HEALTH Solutions
Seeking chiropractic care while preparing for pregnancy, and especially during pregnancy, is the best thing you can do for your body and your unborn child. Being under care can offset some of the physical and emotional traumas, as well as nutritional stresses.
In the later weeks of pregnancy, it’s also important to make sure ligaments are as balanced as possible. This allows the baby to get into the optimum position so the labor and delivery will be easier. Moms-to-be will experience a comfortable setting at Elevation Health.

The Webster Technique – A Safe and Gentle Chiropractic Approach for Pregnancy
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers. Working to correct sacral subluxations, this technique balances pelvic muscles and ligaments in the woman’s pelvis, removes constraint and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Because of its ability to facilitate easier, safer deliveries for both the mother and baby, many birth care providers are actively seeking Doctors of Chiropractic with the skills in this technique.
