Crystal S. has been a patient since she was pregnant with her son. She shared her story with us. 

“I have been a patient of Dr. Jasmine’s since I was eight weeks pregnant and she has helped through my entire pregnancy. I went to 42 weeks and she was so gracious to see me several times there at the end. 

Postpartum [chiropractic care] has been a world changer for me. I stopped coming for a couple of months and I can definitely tell that was not a good choice. I should have come back! So I definitely did and I’ve been coming back and doing better since I’ve returned. 

[My son] has been [seeing Dr. Jasmine] since a couple of days after he was born and he is loving it. He has been smiley and happy and Dr. Jasmine just is amazing. Chiropractic care is just amazing and I am definitely a believer for sure!” 

Crystal’s story illustrates how chiropractic care can improve your pregnancy experience, even if you go over 40 weeks. Chiropractic care made her more comfortable during those final weeks of pregnancy. I frequently hear from my patients that they wish they started chiropractic care sooner and that it made such a difference in their pregnancy. You can begin prenatal chiropractic care early in your pregnancy. You don’t need to wait for the second or third trimesters! Crystal started her care in the first trimester.  I highly recommend weekly prenatal chiropractic care from a Webster certified chiropractor for any woman who is pregnant.  

Chiropractic care can be also beneficial for newborns, just like Crystal mentioned. You might hear pediatric chiropractors talk about “birth trauma” for infants. This can mean anything from a labor that was too short, too long, a vaginal birth or a cesarean section birth, or more serious complications. Birth puts a tremendous amount of traction on your baby’s spine, resulting in nervous system interference.  Pediatric chiropractic care can help with everything from colic to ear infections as your little one grows and develops.
