Pregnancy is a very important time for a woman because her body is working hard to create a perfect human being in only 9 months. The body and mind needs to be operating optimally during this time. Chiropractic care addresses the nervous system, and the nervous system is in charge of other systems in your body such as the skeletal, muscular, endocrine system, and the immune system. These systems along with others are important for pregnancy.
In second and third trimester the musculoskeletal systems become more important as the growing baby gets bigger and weighs more on the woman. It is important to have a balanced pelvis and spine to prevent dysfunction and pain, and for optimal position of the baby. Chiropractic care can make the pregnancy more pleasant, shorten delivery time, and speed up the recovery time.
Dr. Helena is certified in the Webster technique which is focused on balancing the pelvis for optimal pregnancy and birth.

Chiropractic care can also be beneficial for women planning to have children. Chiropractic care can improve the communication between the brain and reproductive organs, making sure they have proper nerve flow for optimal function. It can also help with mental and physical stress which can have an effect on hormonal balance.
