Your body changes enormously over nine months, and again afterward. Gentle chiropractic care helps you stay comfortable through both.
As pregnancy progresses, your center of gravity shifts forward, the curve of your lower back increases, and ligaments soften in preparation for birth. Your pelvis carries load differently than it ever has. That combination is why low back pain, pelvic pain, hip discomfort, and sciatic symptoms are so common.
Gentle chiropractic care addresses the alignment and movement changes behind that discomfort rather than asking you to simply endure it.
The postpartum period gets far less attention than it should. Your body has been through a significant physical event, and then immediately moves into constant lifting, carrying, feeding positions, and interrupted sleep.
Postnatal care addresses the alignment changes from pregnancy and delivery, along with the new strain patterns that come with caring for an infant.
Low back pain, pelvic and hip pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction, sciatic symptoms, mid back and rib discomfort, neck and shoulder tension from feeding positions, and general difficulty getting comfortable.
Dr. Eveline Onkels is trained in the Webster Technique and has focused on prenatal and pediatric care throughout 24 years of practice.
