At River’s Edge Chiropractic, we specialize in offering chiropractic care for expecting mothers. During the various stages of your pregnancy and labor, your spine is subjected to an extreme amount of stress. The center of gravity shifts forward and the substantial weight that you gain will add stress to the spine of the expecting mother. This will lead to headaches, lower back pain, insomnia, nausea and other symptoms that can interfere with the quality of the mother’s life.
Furthermore, a spine that is misaligned, stressed or worn out can result in complications during the delivery of the child. This can lead to a painful delivery as well as problems with the positioning of the baby. A study performed by the American Medical Association concluded that women who got chiropractic treatment during their pregnancy were able to carry and deliver their baby with far more comfort.
Dealing with shifting weight, imbalance and pain & discomfort from a taxed nervous system are prime reasons for the need of chiropractic care for pregnant women. Dr. Melissa McCue, DC is an expert at delivering high-quality chiropractic services for expecting mothers from day one of pregnancy to birth – and beyond.
The Webster Technique was designed to help remove subluxations in pregnant women and restore balance to the pelvic area through adjustments and relaxation of special ligaments in the pelvic girdle. This helps to relieve the pressure and stress that can be placed on the pelvic area during pregnancy & childbirth and it also helps with optimal fetal positioning.
Chiropractic care for expecting mothers includes adjustments and manipulations designed to maintain proper pelvic balance & alignment and to cut down on complications to help ensure a smooth delivery. Natural pain relief is also a key benefit as all medications can cross the placenta and have negative effects on your soon to be bundle of joy!
At River’s Edge Chiropractic we also provide our patients with the option of receiving pregnancy massages from our massage therapist. These massages utilize a comfortable, secure side-laying position for the expected mother in order to avoid undue pressure on the lower back and the growing abdomen.
Benefits to pregnancy massage include blood pressure control, strengthened immunity system, anxiety and depression reduction, stretch mark prevention, better sleep and many more.
I had struggled for years with back and leg pain until finding River’s Edge. I had used a number of Chiropractors that resulted in short term relief but never experienced a consistent result that allowed me to reach a new normal of relief and allowed me to live a pain free life style. I could not be more satisfied with what I’ve experienced with Rivers Edge and would recommend them highly
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Mike for over a year now. When I started, I was experiencing severe pain from sciatica. I’ve been pain free since going to Dr. Mike. Look forward to my regular maintenance visits. Highly recommended!
Woke up with excruciating back pain this morning. They saw me right away and fixed me up in no time. Amazing service! Sarah the receptionist is super helpful, professional and very friendly. Dr. Micheal McCue is just amazing. He is very professional and friendly and takes the time to carefully explain everything. Their office is super clean and nice with ample easy parking. Overall it was just a very satisfying experience. As soon as I got back home I recommended the place to everyone. Finally, I loved the personal touch on the whiteboard welcoming me.
Mike is easy to get along with and he’s really helped my back and neck. Also very understanding in working with insurances. I also love that he’s available easily by email.
My Aunt and Uncle took me to see Dr. Mike at River’s Edge Chiropractic. Dr. Mike is correcting a pinched nerve in my neck as well as other issues. I’ve improved with each session. He’s great, explains everything well, his Assistant Lisa is super helpful, and I trust him with my chiropractic needs.
