The most significant transformation that your body experiences is giving birth to a baby, which extends beyond pregnancy to encompass the year following childbirth. It is crucial to emphasize self-care during this pivotal time. Regular chiropractic sessions provide benefits beyond relief from discomfort, assisting in the maintenance of your nervous system's balance and helping your body adjust to the challenges of pregnancy and the duties of nurturing a newborn. The care you receive can help enhance your entire well-being throughout this tender maternal phase.

FAQs

  • If you’ve had chiropractic care before, the prenatal adjustment will most likely differ in that it is typically more gentle and more specific.

    The webster technique starts with the pelvis and continues on to the upper regions of the spine. Dr. Jenny uses myofascial release and some massage to help the body unwind. Adjustments are done with you laying face down on a belly pillow and are done by hand or with a gentle adjusting tool called the activator.

    Depending on your needs, Dr. Jenny may use kinesio tape to help support tight muscles, relieve pain or help with mobility.

    Many mamas report having more energy and feeling lighter after their adjustment.

  • For care throughout your pregnancy we recommend booking out several months plus one week past your “guess date” to ensure consistent care.

    For most pregnancies, the cadence of every other week until the last trimester works best. We recommend weekly care during the last trimester due to the dynamic baby growth and pelvic changes during that time and to help you prepare for birth.

    Postpartum:

    A gentle adjustment is warranted as soon as you are able to leave the house after having your baby. The amount of visits would be determined based on examination. If you are looking for an all-in-one adjustment + womb healing and massage, check out our Postpartum Body Reset.

  • No! We also see partners, babies (Dr. Jenny also does pediatric adjustments), etc.

    Although we do prioritize patients that are on a timeline, such as the weeks leading up to birth and IVF cycles.

  • We are out of network but we can provide a superbill for you to submit for potential reimbursement. We also take HSA and FSA forms of payment.
