From feeling those first kicks to decorating the nursery, pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can come with its fair share of challenges, particularly physical discomfort. Safe, gentle and effective chiropractic care during pregnancy can support a healthy and more comfortable pregnancy.
Jess, an optometrist and now mom, shared her positive experience of how chiropractic care at Radiant Life Chiropractic helped her through some of the challenges of her pregnancy.
Addressing Pregnancy Pains
At 17 weeks pregnant, Jess found it difficult to get out of bed due to severe back pain. Spending long hours sitting as an optometrist only worsened her discomfort. When she started visiting Dr. Scott, she appreciated his friendly and caring demeanor and expertise in prenatal care; her quality of life improved significantly after getting adjusted.
“When I left here, I felt about 50% better and then about half an hour later, I pretty much felt back to normal. I was in a lot of pain, so it felt really good to have that relieved right on the spot,” said Jess.
Tailored Care for Unique Challenges
Pregnancy isn’t one-size-fits-all, nor is the care needed during this time. Jess was diagnosed with placenta previa, a condition where the placenta is positioned low in the uterus. Dr. Scott worked to help create more space for her baby and encourage the placenta to shift away from the cervix.
Through regular chiropractic adjustments, Jess achieved remarkable results: her placenta moved twice as far as necessary, allowing her to avoid a planned C-section.
