Empowered Pregnancy

Chiropractic care before and during pregnancy can help your body prepare for the journey of parenthood. It will help prepare your body for labor and delivery by making sure your pelvis is positioned optimally allowing your baby the best chance at positioning themselves properly and coming out easily. Over 98% of deliveries from patients in our office end up vaginal (compared to only about 60% nationally) and all our moms tell us their birthing experience was made better by the chiropractic care and support they were given in our office. This means less discomfort, shorter labors, less interventions, and more happy babies. Seeing a chiropractor for pregnancy is one of the best decisions you can make!

The Webster technique is the “gold standard” of chiropractic care during pregnancy. That means the best chiropractor for pregnancy uses this technique. It will ensure your pelvis is in the optimal position and will help facilitate a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Make sure you are seeing a chiropractor that has devoted their careers to this stage of your life. This will make sure you are getting the best tailored care for your pregnancy and will help both you and your baby live happy and healthy!

Yes! Chiropractic care for pregnant moms can be done comfortably with pillows that support you, even when you’re unable to lay on your belly. These adjustments are every gentle. They don’t involve any added twisting or stress on the pelvis. It has been shown to be extremely safe and effective prenatal care. Seeing a chiropractor for pregnancy is one of the best decisions you can make!

Seeing a chiropractor for pregnancy even before you are pregnant is the best time! The sooner you start to prepare your body the easier it will be. We are here to support you physically but also emotionally during all of these stages. We are here to answer questions and offer guidance during these new and exciting times.

Absolutely! We love seeing your kids and family at our practice and making sure your time here is as fun and enjoyable as possible. There are giant train tables, a tree fort, a climbing gym, dinosaurs hiding everywhere and a slide where kids are encouraged to play. We have a fully stocked snack bar for those times when the kids are getting hangry and a prize machine when they are done for the day.

Whenever you are here you’re in a safe space and your kids are welcome to run around. They are always accepted for who they are. Our team members are happy to hang out with them while one of our doctors talks with you or for you to get time to relax on one of our hydromassage beds!

Ahh, to be in your shoes. The first visit to our office is a pretty magical day. This is the first time we dig deep to really get to know you. We want to know your pregnancy/delivery goals, dreams, and what makes you special. This typically takes anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

We use this day to get a better idea of how long it will take to reach your goals, how much it will cost, and how often we recommend to see us.

First we will talk about how life currently is for you and your pregnancy. This will help us get a baseline and to figure out healthy goals for the rest of pregnancy and into the postpartum time. Then we will conduct a thorough nervous system exam which includes scans. After that is complete we often begin care this visit with your first chiropractic adjustment using the Webster Technique.

This visit is slightly shorter than the first time you are in our office. We go over the results of your scans and exam together during this visit. Our team used the information we discussed on our first visit together to create a plan of care. We will go over this with you to show how we expect things to go and how long results could take. This includes how much it will cost and our recommendations for how often to see us to help you reach your goals.

These visits take as long or as little as you would like! The best chiropractic adjustment in the world only takes a few minutes to deliver. Outside of that we are available to answer all your questions to help with pregnancy and anything else you’re going through. You will also have the option to use a massage bed while we watch your kids every time you are here!

In our office we utilize technology to help us get a better idea of how we can help your family. We use a thermal scan on your spine to help us understand how much stress is on your nervous system. We also use a surface EMG to help show us patterns of muscle tension. Lastly, we use HRV to show us how much stress your body is under. All of these are very simple, painless, safe for pregnancy, and will help get us get to the root cause of your health concerns!

Roughly every 12 visits to our office we take extra time to re-scan you. We talk about what your original goals were when you came into our office and how your progress is coming along. We use this time to adjust your plan of care to make sure we continue to move forward!

Yes! We are in network with BCBS and Sanford health plan.

If you’re the type of mom that just wants to show up and have the “standard” labor and delivery, you won’t need this! No judgment if that is you at all. But if you’re wanting to be prepared, have a say, and want things to go your way than this is for you. We have two options for this. You can either purchase our Maximized Mama pregnancy course or you can opt for an in-person birth plan. These are both an additional fee to your regular care. During the in-person birth plan Whitney will sit down with you to help find out what you want your birth to look like. She will present you with options and offer her guidance to have the birth of your dreams!

Absolutely! We have a video course at Maximized Mama available for purchase that digs deep into pregnancy.
