Pregnancy Chiropractic in St. Cloud
We’re proud to offer health care for all ages, from newborn babies to senior citizens. Dr. Alex is a family chiropractor who often sees multiple generations, including children of all ages and expecting moms.
Our team believes that what’s good for mom is good for baby. Just like eating healthy and staying active, chiropractic care during pregnancy helps both the mom-to-be and her unborn child. Dr. Alex likes to say that during pregnancy, you’re getting two adjustments for the price of one!
Positive & Comfortable Pregnancy
Interference in the nervous system, or subluxations, affect both mom and her developing baby. Chiropractic care with Dr. Alex will remove this interference, allowing for a happier, healthier pregnancy.
You can prevent pain, sleep better, and enjoy improved digestion with the help of prenatal chiropractic care. There have even been reports of chiropractic helping women become pregnant, and it’s appropriate during every stage of pregnancy.
At Advantage Chiropractic, we have a comfortable table that allows you to be adjusted during each trimester. The table features a chest piece that drops down, allowing mothers-to-be to remain comfortable while getting adjusted.
We’ll discuss your history and perform a thorough examination to create a care plan that’s tailored to your lifestyle and allows your body to be as healthy as possible during this critical time.
Natural Approaches for Labor Preparation
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Alex offers acupuncture for labor induction as a natural alternative to medical interventions. Instead of relying on medications like Pitocin that may be used in hospital settings, acupuncture has been proven to naturally stimulate contractions and induce labor when needed.
Techniques for Prenatal Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy decreases discomfort and reduces nervous system interference. It also helps improve the function of pelvic muscles and ligaments, leading to less constraint of a woman’s uterus. This gives her unborn child the best opportunity to develop and get into the optimal birth position. Dr. Alex employs a variety of safe, gentle, and effective techniques, including the Webster Technique, to benefit both mom and baby.
