Pregnancy Chiropractic in Sun Prairie

pregnant person holding their tummyDuring pregnancy, your body undergoes significant and rapid changes, creating a lot of potential for misalignments in the spine and pelvis that can cause you pain and discomfort, as well as impair your baby’s ability to grow and move.

When the pelvis and sacrum are aligned, your baby can get into the best position for a natural vaginal delivery. Chiropractic care helps maintain proper alignment, and research shows that regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce labor times and the need for medical interventions. When your baby is born naturally, it sets the stage for hitting developmental milestones on time.

At Ager Chiropractic Wellness Center, we love helping moms-to-be have the most comfortable pregnancy possible and the positive birth experience they’ve always wanted.

Dr. Sandy is certified in the Webster Technique, a specialized method used to analyze and correct the alignment of the sacrum and pelvis. She has over fifteen years’ experience helping pregnant women feel and function their best before, during and after delivery. She will complete a thorough examination and design a care plan to meet your specific needs.

If everything is going great and you have no pain, that will probably mean a visit every week or two. But if you are having sciatic pain, trouble sleeping, migraines or other symptoms, we will see you more often until we get that situation resolved.

We have special pregnancy pillows, as well as tables with a swing-out section to accommodate pregnant bellies. Our goal is to ensure your complete comfort while receiving our care.

Whether you were a patient before you got pregnant or not, we encourage you to continue with care after giving birth. The birth process is traumatic for both you and your baby, and chiropractic care can help restore alignment to your body so you have the bandwidth to care for your new family member. You can adapt to the changing demands of nursing, carrying a baby and chasing after a toddler.
