Pregnancy Chiropractic in Derry
Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can also bring about various discomforts and challenges for expectant mothers. This specialized chiropractic care focuses on providing focused care and adjustments to pregnant women. The primary goal is to promote the well-being of both expectant mothers and their developing babies by addressing musculoskeletal issues and relieving common pregnancy-related discomforts.
With You All the Way
During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes, and our chiropractic team understands the unique needs that arise during each trimester. In the first trimester, many women experience nausea and vomiting, which can impact their well-being. At Triskelia Wellness, we offer personalized treatment plans to address these symptoms and provide relief, ensuring you have the best possible start to your pregnancy journey.
As you progress into the second trimester, issues like back discomfort, hip pain, and sciatica may arise. Our doctor incorporates techniques such as Activator® and Diversified adjustments to alleviate discomfort and enhance spinal alignment. These gentle and precise techniques ensure the well-being of both Mother and Baby throughout the process.
The Care and Comfort You Need
Our commitment to providing warm and empathetic care sets us apart. We have a Hi-Lo table equipped with a pregnancy drop-out feature, allowing for convenient and comfortable adjustments throughout your pregnancy. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest advancements in prenatal care, including free orthotics explicitly designed for expectant mothers.
Additionally, using the Activator technique allows for precise adjustments without needing side posture positioning or manual manipulation that may cause discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
How safe is an adjustment during pregnancy?
Very safe, chiropractic care is safe through all terms of your pregnancy. We will work with your changing body through the process whether you have just found out you are pregnant or are close to delivery. We have a special table where the belly piece can be comfortably fitted to your body. Additionally, the table goes up and down for you so you do not have to try to get on and off the table by yourself, which can become difficult in the third trimester.
How often do I need to come in?
We always treat according to symptoms, so in the beginning you may start on a standard new patient plan which is usually 2/week until symptoms improve. Usually our expecting mothers find they do best with coming in biweekly until the end of the 3rd trimester and will come in weekly for the last 4-6 weeks.
Definitely, we would love to collaborate with your OB. In fact, many doctors refer their patients for care during this time as the body is going through many changes and needs regular support. We also offer prenatal massage which is very beneficial.
Do I need a referral from my physician?
Unless required by insurance, we do not require a referral.
