Pregnancy Chiropractic at
Gravenhurst Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre
Making a Connection
When Dr. Kelly began practising chiropractic, she was one of the first female doctors in the area, and many moms felt more comfortable seeing another woman. When she became a Mom herself, a natural relationship developed with local midwives, which continues to this day.
Working with these wonderful women solidified her interest in pregnancy and pediatric care. Dr. Kelly has also taken numerous additional courses and workshops, and stays up to date on all the new research to provide her moms with the best possible care.
At Gravenhurst Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre, promoting movement and balance is key during pregnancy. The mom’s growing belly and baby’s growth shift her centre of gravity, creating an imbalance in the back. The muscles now have to keep the forward weight of the belly up, which may cause spinal problems and muscle tension.
Research shows that balancing the ligaments that hold the uterus in the proper position may optimize the birth experience. Results have shown a decrease in labor pain, shortened delivery time, and that chiropractic care improves delivery outcomes!
Many expectant mothers will experience pain related to their pregnancy. Weight gain also
places additional stress on surrounding joints, like your hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
At Gravenhurst Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre, we are equipped with the latest techniques to help you be more comfortable in pregnancy. Issues we see include:
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Pelvic pain
- Groin pain
- Rib pain
- And more
