Pregnancy should be one of the most memorable times in a mother’s life. Unfortunately, more than 80% of women suffer from ill health during this magical time.

The brain and spinal column are the Central Nervous System and run the show. The brain tells all the organs and tissues what to do, including the placenta, uterus, and ovaries. The brain and spinal cord are protected by the vertebral column, your spine. As chiropractors we adjust the spine at specific levels where there is stress and nerve interference. The adjustments neutralize stress and allow your body to function at the highest level. This functionality establishment helps a woman’s body thrive and heal – therefore allowing her baby to do the same!
