Prenatal & Postpartum
We are here to support and empower you through it all!
At The Living Well we want to educate, empower and inspire moms through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Most people think of prenatal chiropractic for back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, or other pregnancy-related symptoms. While we can certainly help get relief from those discomforts, we also want to support you with something much more foundational to your health, your baby's health and an overall better prenatal and postpartum experience. Along with a more structural approach, we also want to ensure that your neurological system is working properly. By working with your nervous system we allow your body to communicate efficiently so there is less stress for you and your baby!
Fun fact (who doesn't love a good fun fact?!): you and your baby share a nervous system while you are pregnant. That means that mom's stress is baby's stress and a stressed out mom hardwires stress into baby through all the critical developmental stages that happen in utero. This also means that as mom gets adjusted during pregnancy it will neurologically allow baby to develop and grow better! We are very passionate about this stuff if you couldn't tell by all the exclamation points!
Along with brain-based chiropractic care, Dr. Kevin is also trained in the Webster Technique which focuses on reducing and relieving intra-uterine constraint. This allows for more relaxation for mom and baby as the tension throughout the pelvis is released, which lets baby assume the ideal and optimal head down position if possible.
Women under consistent chiropractic care have shown shorter average delivery times and less need for interventions. The awesome moms in our office have also found more restful sleep, more energy, and less overall discomfort.

Once the baby is born the work is done, right? Not true! Even the most ideal birth can be traumatic on mom as well as baby. That is why we are here to care for you postpartum to ensure your body is set for ideal healing. Healthy baby, healthy mom, healthy (and happy) family!
