Alpha Family Chiropractor

Description

Studies have found that about half of all expectant mothers develop low-back pain at some point during their pregnancies. This is especially true during the third trimester when the baby's body gains the most weight. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the pain and discomfort frequently experienced in pregnancy, and creates an environment for an easier, safer delivery. It is one safe and effective way to help the spine and pelvis cope with the rapid increase in physical stress by restoring a state of balance. In fact, most women have found that chiropractic care helped them avoid the use of pain medications during their pregnancy, and studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help to reduce time in labor. Your chiropractor should be your partner for a healthy pregnancy. They can provide adjustments, as well as offer nutritional, ergonomic and exercise advice to help address your special needs.

"Dr. Lori is a genuine healer. She has the ability to listen to what you need and to deliver. I've been seeing her for over 20 years and that is only when I have spot adjustments that I need to tweak something. I believe my body's health is my own responsibility, so I go to yoga and workout. But I also work in a physical job, landscaping, and sometimes things get thrown out of wack. This early summer it was my neck. After only four visits with combined massage and adjustment, I was better than I'd been before the injury.

Core training includes exercises such as the scorpion, lying windmill with bent legs, pushups, squats, and the plank. Many good books and numerous online videos are available to provide instruction in the performance of core exercises. Your chiropractor is experienced in rehabilitative exercise and will help guide you to the training methods that are best for you.
