Pregnancy Chiropractic in West Omaha
Nurturing You Through Every Stage of Motherhood
Specialized Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy brings incredible changes as your body creates new life, but these transformations can also create significant discomfort. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, your pelvis loosens, and muscles and ligaments stretch to prepare for birth. These natural adaptations often lead to pain and mobility issues that can affect your daily life and overall well-being.
Dr. Tereshel Johnson understands the unique challenges expectant mothers face and provides gentle, specialized care throughout your pregnancy journey.
The Science Behind Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Research consistently shows that expectant mothers who receive regular chiropractic care experience significant benefits during labor and delivery. Studies demonstrate that chiropractic patients often have shorter labor times—reducing average labor from nine hours to just six hours—and experience fewer complications requiring cesarean sections.
At Green Chiropractic, we focus on optimizing your pelvic alignment and nervous system function to support your body’s natural birthing process. Proper spinal alignment during pregnancy not only reduces discomfort but also helps ensure optimal positioning for your baby and smoother labor progression.
Safe, Gentle Care When You Need It Most
Every treatment during pregnancy is carefully adapted to ensure complete safety for both you and your baby. Dr. Johnson’s specialized training in pregnancy chiropractic care means she understands exactly how to modify techniques and positioning throughout each trimester. Our tables and equipment are specifically designed to accommodate your changing body while providing effective treatment.
We work closely with your healthcare team to ensure coordinated care that supports your overall pregnancy health plan. Communication with your obstetrician or midwife helps us provide the most appropriate and effective care for your unique situation.
Common Pregnancy Discomforts We Address
Our gentle chiropractic approach can provide significant relief for many pregnancy-related issues that affect your quality of life. We regularly help expectant mothers find relief from sciatica, low back pain, tight hips and pelvis, and round ligament pain that can make movement challenging. Many patients also experience improvement in sleep quality, reduced heartburn, and decreased neck and shoulder tension.
These symptoms aren’t just inconveniences—they can significantly impact your ability to enjoy your pregnancy and prepare for motherhood. Our targeted treatments address the structural causes of these discomforts rather than simply managing symptoms.
The Webster Technique: Specialized Care for Optimal Birth Positioning
Dr. Johnson has advanced training in the Webster Technique, a gentle chiropractic method specifically designed for pregnant women. This specialized approach helps relax pelvic muscles and restore proper balance to your pelvis, creating optimal space for your baby to move into the ideal head-down position for birth.
The Webster Technique is particularly valuable for mothers whose babies are in breech position, as it supports the body’s natural ability to encourage proper fetal positioning. This gentle, non-invasive approach works with your body’s wisdom rather than against it, promoting comfort for both you and your developing baby.
Dr. Johnson has also taken many Spinning Babies courses to help with breech, transverse pregnancies. Clinical trial shows Spinning Babies Reduced Cesarean Rates by up to 48%.
What is Spinning Babies?
Spinning Babies is a physiological approach to preparing for and caring for birth.
During birth, babies descend through the pelvis by turning to fit each curve in the passage. Baby’s turns are “fetal rotation.” If fetal rotation can be made easier, birth is easier for everyone.
Spinning Babies has become a paradigm, or a new view on childbirth. By understanding birth physiology better we can help birth be easier. Spinning Babies is how we are Changing Birth on Earth.
Comprehensive Care Through All Stages
Our commitment to your health extends beyond pregnancy and delivery. Postpartum care is equally important as your body recovers from the incredible demands of pregnancy and childbirth. We help restore proper alignment, address the physical stresses of caring for a newborn, and support your body’s healing process during this crucial recovery period.
The physical demands of motherhood—from nursing positions to carrying your growing child—can create new challenges for your spine and posture. Our ongoing support helps you maintain your health and energy as you navigate the beautiful but demanding early months of parenthood.
