The Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
How Chiropractic Care Supports a Healthy Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with discomforts like back pain, neck pain, and headaches due to the body’s rapid changes. As the baby grows, increased weight and shifting posture can put stress on the spine, leading to misalignments and nerve tension. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a safe, natural, and effective way to relieve pain and support overall wellness during pregnancy.
At Orlando City Health and Wellness, we specialize in pregnancy chiropractic care, using gentle techniques to help expectant mothers feel their best.
Dr. Michael Gampolo’s Expertise in Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Dr. Michael Gampolo has extensive experience treating pregnant patients. Early in his career, he worked at an OBGYN office, where he learned the Webster Technique—a specialized chiropractic method designed to promote pelvic balance and alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts.
Through personalized treatment plans, Dr. Gampolo helps expectant mothers manage back pain, neck pain, headaches, and postural changes—all while ensuring a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
✅ Relieves Back, Neck, and Joint Pain
As the baby grows, the extra weight shifts the body’s center of gravity, increasing pressure on the lower back and hips. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, reducing pain and discomfort.
✅ Reduces Headaches and Tension
Hormonal changes and postural strain can lead to frequent headaches and migraines. Gentle chiropractic care relieves muscle tension and improves circulation, reducing headache frequency.
✅ Promotes Proper Pelvic Alignment
A misaligned pelvis can create intrauterine constraints, potentially affecting baby positioning. The Webster Technique is a safe, gentle adjustment that helps ensure optimal pelvic balance, creating more space for the baby to move into the ideal position for delivery.
✅ Eases Sciatic Nerve Pain
Many pregnant women experience sciatica, where pressure on the sciatic nerve causes sharp pain down the legs. Chiropractic adjustments help relieve nerve compression and improve mobility.
✅ Supports an Easier Labor & Delivery
Proper spinal and pelvic alignment may contribute to shorter labor times and reduced need for interventions during delivery. Many expectant mothers who receive chiropractic care report a smoother birthing experience.
