What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive approach to healthcare that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. We as chiropractors know that misalignments in the spine (also known as subluxations) can interfere with the nervous system's functioning; leading to a range of health problems. This includes pain, weakness, and dysfunction.

Our chiropractors use a range of techniques to correct these misalignments, including spinal adjustments, cervical curve correction, and lifestyle advice. By restoring proper alignment and function to the spine, chiropractic care can help alleviate pain and improve overall health.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy can be a physically demanding time for many women. As the body changes to accommodate a growing baby, it can lead to discomfort and pain. Chiropractic care can help during pregnancy in several ways:

  1. Pain Relief: Chiropractic care can help alleviate common pregnancy-related complaints, such as back pain, hip pain, and sciatica. By reducing pressure on the nervous system and restoring proper alignment to the spine, chiropractic adjustments can provide safe and effective relief.

  2. Improved Pelvic Alignment: As the body prepares for childbirth, the pelvis undergoes significant changes. Chiropractic care at Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston can help ensure proper alignment of the pelvis, which can improve fetal positioning and make childbirth easier.

  3. Improved Nervous System Function: Chiropractic care can help improve nervous system function, which can lead to improved overall health and well-being for both the mother and the baby.

What to Expect During Your Chiropractic Visit at Clarity Chiropractic

When you visit Clarity Chiropractic during pregnancy you can expect a thorough examination and assessment of your condition. Our chiropractors will take a detailed medical history, perform a physical examination, and complete neurologic scanning. If you are currently pregnant or think you may be pregnant, we will not take x-rays of you on this appointment, but will postpone those images until after you have given birth.

Based on your diagnosis, our chiropractors will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and lifestyle advice. Our goal is to help you find relief from your pregnancy-related discomfort and improve your overall health and well-being.
