July 1, 2024

Morning sickness can be one of the most challenging aspects of pregnancy, affecting a significant number of expectant mothers, particularly during the first trimester. While it's often considered a normal part of pregnancy, severe cases can impact daily life and well-being. At Pinnacle Chiropractic in Lakewood Ranch, FL, we offer prenatal chiropractic care using the Webster Technique, providing expectant mothers with a natural approach to managing morning sickness and enhancing overall pregnancy health.

Understanding Morning Sickness

Morning sickness, characterized by nausea and vomiting, typically occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy but can persist longer for some women. Although the exact cause of morning sickness is not entirely understood, it is often attributed to the rapid increase in hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and estrogen. Additionally, physical and emotional stress can exacerbate symptoms.

The Role of Chiropractic Care in Managing Morning Sickness

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on optimizing bodily function by ensuring the spine and nervous system operate without interference. Proper alignment of the spine, particularly in the upper cervical area, can influence the nervous system’s ability to regulate hormonal balances and reduce the severity of morning sickness.

How the Webster Technique Helps

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic protocol designed to maintain a healthy pelvic balance and alignment. While primarily known for its benefits in pelvic health, this technique also promotes overall optimal nervous system function, which is crucial during pregnancy. Here's how the Webster Technique can help manage morning sickness:

  1. Enhanced Nervous System Function: By correcting subluxations, particularly in the spine, the Webster Technique helps in optimizing the nervous system's control over digestion and hormone regulation, potentially easing nausea symptoms.
  2. Reduced Physical Stress: This technique reduces tension in the spine and pelvic area, which can decrease physical stress and its contribution to morning sickness.
  3. Improved Digestive Function: Proper spinal alignment can enhance the function of major organs involved in digestion and detoxification, which may help alleviate nausea.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care Beyond Morning Sickness

In addition to managing morning sickness, regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy using the Webster Technique can offer several other benefits:

  • Enhanced Pelvic Balance: This can lead to a more comfortable pregnancy and potentially a smoother, quicker delivery.
  • Reduced Back Pain: As the body adapts to pregnancy, back pain is common; chiropractic care can help alleviate this discomfort.
  • Overall Well-being: Improved alignment and nervous system function contribute to overall health, potentially reducing pregnancy-related complications.

Patient Stories: Discover Reviews by Satisfied Chiropractic Patients

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Pinnacle.

We love all of the staff and the doctors each have their own individual touch for any specific need.
We have been going to Pinnacle weekly for years. We love all of the staff and the doctors each have their own individual touch for any specific need. Whether it’s a dense, tough scenario or a soft, extra-sensitive touch, Pinnacle can meet that need for both children and their adults. Chiropractic care has kept our family healthy, at top performance, and I have no clue where we would be without it.

My 10 month old has been delayed on her gross motor skills. At her 6 month checkup, her pediatrician recommended she get evaluated for PT. In her case, I felt like she needed more that just PT to get caught up. I’ve heard so many people speak highly of chiropractic care for kids, I thought we’d give it a try. I can’t remember how I came across Pinnacle (might have been on Instagram because they have a lot of helpful posts). But anyway, I called and setup the first couple appointments for intake and scans. The entire staff is super friendly. Dr. Matt listened very well to what was going on with my daughter and we came up with 3 goals for her to hopefully meet with 9 weeks of adjustments (2x/week). The afternoon after her 2nd adjustment, she literally reached 2 of her goals. I almost couldn’t believe it. I realize it could have just been a coincidence but it’s just too close to happening right after the adjustments for me to assume that. She’s had about 10 adjustments total now, and she is catching up on other gross motor skills. Because she is a baby, her adjustments are quite gentle. There’s no cracking or popping involved. I’ve now become a patient of theirs too, and I hope to start my other two children there as well!
