Chiropractic Care

One of the most common discomforts in pregnancy is back pain. Chiropractic care has been shown to relieve sciatica, ligament, hip, neck, and lower back pain.

Routine care and specialized techniques such as the Websters Technique can optimize alignment of the pelvis and fetal positioning; leading to decreased times in labor and improved outcomes

That’s why we recommend Dr. D at Active Health Chiropractic throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and even baby!

Massage

Massage is one of the most simple and effective methods of self care.

Prenatal massage can reduce back and joint pain, muscular discomforts, improve flexibility and circulation, and even decrease swelling.

It promotes relaxation, helping to decrease depression and anxiety, and improve much needed sleep.
