Perinatal Chiropractic Adjustments

At The Heights Chiropractic in Hayes Valley, Dr. Katherine McCarty D.C. works with women through their pregnancy to decrease lower back pain with pelvic and spinal realignment. Chiropractic has been shown to decrease overall labor time, and improve fetal mobility with reducing uterine ligament constraints. Many women come see our office for pain relief, assist the baby in moving into a natural birthing position, and for post partum postural support.

During and after pregnancy, a woman’s body goes through so many changes as ligament laxity affects all joints to prepare for birth, as well as the added weight and shift in posture.

Once the baby is delivered, the changes continue. There is bodily recovery, but there is also constant nursing, holding the growing infant, changing diapers, ect! We are happy to support the parents in all the new demands in their lives.
