Paediatric and Pregnancy Chiropractic
Creating Healthy Families Begins With Children
Many adult problems can be traced back to some of these birth issues, as well as the everyday aspects of just being a kid: falling, jumping, collisions, contusions, concussions and broken bones. We firmly believe that it’s easier to raise healthy children than it is to fix broken adults.
Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care has many benefits for you and your baby if you choose to visit your chiropractor during pregnancy. Here, we use a specific technique with pregnant women called the Webster Technique®.
Prenatal Chiropractic for an Optimal Pregnancy
Research has demonstrated that the correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects the birth outcome. Optimal positioning also decreases the potential for undue stress on the baby’s developing spine. Specific chiropractic care helps the pelvic floor to relax, as well as the tendons, ligaments and muscles surrounding the womb. This reduction of tension helps to ensure an easier exit for the baby through the birth canal.
The Webster Technique®
This safe and gentle adjustment method involves precise chiropractic analysis of the pelvis, with special attention to the sacral joints. It’s all about creating an optimal environment for the baby, with a lessening of negative conditions for the mum. The Webster Technique® has been acknowledged to:
- Limit the aches and pains commonly associated with pregnancy and with more severe complaints such as SPD.
- Improve structural balance in the spine and pelvis in order to give the baby the optimum space to develop.
- Decrease the possibility of subluxations developing in the baby in utero.
- Reduce the likelihood of breech or transverse positioning of the baby.
- Allow for a straight-forward, normal and positive birth outcome.
We want our mums-to-be to experience the birth plan they were hoping to have. Dr Glenn Fredericksen (Chiropractor) is certified in this highly researched technique, and provides comfortable and effective care for the pregnant women in our practice.
The mums who have received chiropractic care during pregnancy have given me overwhelmingly positive feedback, both in terms of improved health and comfort during pregnancy and in their birth outcomes”. Dr Glenn Fredericksen, Chiropractor
Chiropractic Post-birth, For You, Your Baby and Children
You: Your body goes through many physical changes during birth and chiropractic helps your body to heal quickly and will support you as you adapt to the demands of parenthood.
Your baby: Gently removing subluxations caused by the forces of birth can help your baby to be calmer, feed well, sleep well and develop well.
Your child: As your baby grows and develops into a toddler and older child, chiropractic can help them to function optimally by removing subluxations caused by the numerous tumbles and bumps they take as they achieve new milestones.
Parents Choose Chiropractic For Their Children
Parents bring their children to us for such a variety of reasons, but they all have a common goal: they want their children to flourish and develop into healthy adults.
Parents are inspired by the safe and natural approach to health that chiropractic offers and understand the logical principle that it is far easier looking after good health rather than trying to fix poor-health.
