Pregnancy Chiropractic

While pregnancy can be a momentous time in a woman's life, it can also come with aches and pains. Fortunately, at Dr. Maxine Helman's practice in Scarsdale, NY, the practitioner may provide natural relief through spinal manipulation, chiropractic exercises, and more. Keep in mind that a pregnancy chiropractor understands the precautions to take to keep both you and the unborn baby safe during treatment. 

What to Expect at Your Appointment With Your Specialist

Before Dr. Helman will provide any treatment, you'll need to answer a medical questionnaire that includes how far along you are and the symptoms you're experiencing. Based on your answers, your practitioner will tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs. 

Why Choose a Chiropractic Care Pregnancy Specialist

By choosing a pregnancy chiropractor in Scarsdale, you'll receive non-medicated treatments. Therefore, you don't have to worry about side effects or the possibility of harming the unborn baby to find relief. The treatments are non-invasive, which further enhances the safety of chiropractic care during pregnancy. Plus, your chiropractor has experience and training working with pregnant women. 

Conditions Treated 

A chiropractor can help with a range of pregnancy-related issues, such as sciatica -- symptoms including burning, tingling, and numbness that affect the lower back and possibly legs.  

Since your center of gravity changes during pregnancy, you could experience issues with posture. A chiropractor understands why it occurs and knows how to combat it. 

Overall, chiropractic care can help you have a healthier pregnancy. Some studies have shown a correlation between routine chiropractic care from a pregnancy chiropractic specialist and an easier labor and delivery. 

Treatments Offered 

Dr. Helman will determine an appropriate course of action for you, which may include one or more treatments. In some cases, this may include administering chiropractic adjustments, which your chiropractor will alter based on how far along you are.  

The practitioner will guide you through exercises you can do that'll gently work your musculoskeletal system to keep you limber during pregnancy. Your chiropractor may also advise you to perform exercises at home to further your progress. 

Additionally, you may receive chiropractic massage, which can encourage blood flow and reduce muscle soreness. Dr. Maxwell is certified in pregnancy massage, so women can feel confident knowing they're in good hands.
