Pre-Natal, Breach & Pediatric Chiropractic & Wellness Care
in Belgrade, Bozeman and the entire Gallatin Valley

During pregnancy our primary concern is in balancing the pelvis.  We want baby to have all the room it needs to grow without constraint, and we want baby to get into proper position for birth.

We look at the pelvic bowl, and specifically the sacrum (tailbone) at the bottom of the spine, which is a triangle shaped bone between the two large hip bones. We look at that because there is an attachment onto the round ligament. If the sacrum is pulled up on one side or the other, it causes the round ligament to pull up. That makes one side of the uterus smaller. This is where we see transverse position, inverse, breach or posterior positions.

When women feel back labor, baby is face out (occiput posterior) instead of face back (occiput anterior). Ideally, we want baby’s head down and baby’s face pointing toward the spine. When the back of the head is against the spine, it allows the largest part of head to go out first. When baby is posterior, it causes pain and back labor so women then may opt for drugs. Pain medication such as Epidurals may increase the chance for Cesarean Section.

Making the decision to be under chiropractic care during your pregnancy is an important one and shouldn’t be taken lightly.  Finding the proper type of care to help support the changes that are occurring within your body both muscularly and structurally is an important part of optimizing your labor process.  The Webster technique is the perfect approach to fulfilling all these needs.

Our approach is safe, gentle and effective.  We are sensitive to both mommy and baby’s needs during the entire process and recognize that you may have questions that you’d like answered.  Our practice is patient-focused and you will never feel rushed.  You will have lots of one on one time with Dr. Rising and our staff is always willing to help in whatever capacity they can.
