Chiropractic for a more comfortable pregnancy and labor
Pregnant women benefit greatly from Chiropractic care with benefits that can include the baby as well.
Pregnancy can be a time of joy and exciting anticipation, yet for some the experience is coloured by pain, discomfort and illness. This is often because pregnant women undergo many structural and hormonal changes that affect the spine, nerves, joints, ligaments, connective tissues, centre of gravity and stability. Your Chiropractor can ensure that the spine, pelvis and related structures are balanced, moving easily and free from dysfunction.
When free of vertebral dysfunction, the mother-to-be experiences pregnancy at a greater level of comfort, health and vitality and can better handle the rigor of childbirth.
Drugless Approach to Health
During pregnancy there are many medications that are unsafe to use. Chiropractic’s approach to pain is another reason why it is valued during pregnancy.
Pregnant Women Have Special Concerns
There are so many things pregnant women worry about: staying pregnant, carrying the baby to full term, morning sickness, the baby developing normally, backaches, leg pain and if their labor will be safe and (hopefully) easy.
Can Chiropractic care help ease their minds? Chiropractic care has been observed to help pregnant and birthing women for many years. Chiropractors have been performing spinal adjustments on pregnant women for over a hundred years and have noted that chiropractic spinal corrective care can help reduce pain associated with pregnancy.
Chiropractic Improves Baby’s Birth Position
Pre-natal Chiropractic techniques release stress on the pelvis and uterus, helping the unborn child to turn and position itself properly for a healthy birth presentation.

Accidents & Trauma
If you have ever been in an accident or suffered a trauma you need to have your spine checked by a Chiropractor.
Any dysfunction created in your spine during the accident often remains in your body and prevents you from healing properly. That may be the reason why over half of accident victims never completely recover from their injuries and may live on painkillers, physical therapy or even repeated surgery for years. Sometimes they’re told that they’ll have to live in pain for the rest of their lives!
It must be emphasized that Chiropractic never opposes necessary medical care. In emergencies the first order of business is always controlling life-threatening situations such as haemorrhage, cessation or breath, broken bones, serious contusions or abrasions, shock and the like. That is the specialty of emergency medicine.
Unfortunately today, millions of accident victims leave the hospital with as many vertebral dysfunctions as they had when they entered. That’s a big reason why so many people say “I haven’t felt right since the accident,” and why they may continue to suffer for months, years or even decades afterwards.
Anyone who has been in an accident even if there are no obvious symptoms should get a Chiropractic check up. The damage from spinal dysfunction may take months or years to surface and a simple spinal check up today could save an accident victim from much pain and illness later.

The Gonstead technique
Gonstead procedures are the result of extensive clinical research by Clarence S.Gonstead, founder of the world famous Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin and his associates. Doctor Gonstead’s fifty-five years of continuous practice and over four million chiropractic adjustments resulted in the most complete method of biomechanical analysis available for use by today’s doctors of chiropractic. So why don’t all chiropractors use this technique? Because the analysis takes more time and mastering the art of delivering a specific adjustment takes a LOT of practice and dedication.
The Gonstead Chiropractor goes beyond what many chiropractors consider a spinal assessment by conducting a thorough analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence of the vertebral subluxation complex.
- Visualization – Visualization is a way to cross reference all the other findings. Your chiropractor is an expert in looking for subtle changes in your posture and movement which could indicate any problems.
- Instrumentation – The instrument of choice in the Gonstead System is the Nervoscope. The Nervoscope detects uneven distributions of heat along the spine which can be indicative of inflammation and nerve pressure. This instrument is guided down the length of your back and feels like two fingers gliding down each side of your spine.
- Static Palpation – This is simply the process of feeling (or palpating) your spine in a stationary (or static) position. Your chiropractor will feel for the presence of swelling (or edema), tenderness and any abnormal texture or tightness in the muscles and other tissues of your back.
- Motion Palpation – This process involves feeling the spine while moving and bending it at various angles. This enables the chiropractor to determine how easily or difficult each segment in your spine moves in different directions.
- X-Ray Analysis – x-ray films enable your doctor to visualize the entire structure of your spine. This is helpful in evaluating posture, joint and disc integrity, vertebral misalignments and ruling out any pathologies, or recent fractures that may be present or contributing to the patient’s condition. These full-spine radiographs are taken in the standing, weight-bearing position to fully substantiate the examination findings.

Sports and Athletics
Does your neighbourhood team need a chiropractor?
Chiropractic can give your athletic endeavours an edge. That’s why you’ll find chiropractors as “team doctors” for professional, college, secondary and primary school, football, hurling, basketball, rugby, hockey and camogie teams.
Chiropractic is used by top players in sports as diverse as tennis, ballet, boxing, biking, racing, golf, soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, handball, rugby, running, weightlifting and other sports. Chiropractors help keep the athlete on the field and help stop minor injuries from becoming major ones without the use of drugs or surgery.
A survey among US National Football League (NFL) trainers found that 77% refer players to chiropractors and 31% of NFL teams have a chiropractor officially on staff.
Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn’t dream of competing without first getting a chiropractic spinal check-up.How about you? Want that winning edge? A little more balance? A little more lightness to your step? Try a chiropractic “shaping up” adjustment of the spine.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries nearly always jar and misalign the spine: a blow to the ribs, legs, feet, head, shoulder or torso always radiates to the centre of the body – that’s why a chiropractic check-up is needed when you are injured regardless of the nature of the injury.
Chiropractic is needed, in fact, even when medical procedures may also be necessary.
Why? If an injury is serious enough to need medical care, the spine and body alignment is almost always damaged. Furthermore, medical doctors are simply not trained to locate and correct spinal dysfunction – that is the realm of the chiropractor.
