Pregnancy and Chiropractic
Pregnancy is an exciting time filled with anticipation, but it can also bring various discomforts as the body undergoes significant changes. At Toth Chiropractic in Santa Rosa, CA, we offer chiropractic care and massage therapy to help alleviate pain and enhance your well-being. Before scheduling an appointment, continue reading to discover how prenatal chiropractic care can help you feel your best during your journey to motherhood!
Seek Chiropractic Care Early and Often
Schedule an appointment with our chiropractor, Dr. Toth, as soon as you find out you're pregnant. Chiropractic adjustments can help align your pelvis and spine, optimizing your baby's position for birth. This not only alleviates pressure on nerves but also improves mobility, circulation, and overall comfort. Routine chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy helps prevent misalignment and discomfort caused by your changing posture. Seeking care can address issues promptly and help prevent significant problems, such as severe back pain, from developing later.
Enjoy Soothing Prenatal Massage
Along with chiropractic care, a prenatal massage can offer comfort during pregnancy. Before providing treatment, our massage therapists will discuss your symptoms with you and identify areas of pain and tension. Some benefits of prenatal massage include:
• Reduced back, hip, leg, and foot pain
• Improved circulation and mobility
• Lower stress or anxiety and better sleep
• Decreased swelling in the hands and feet
Treat yourself to a therapeutic massage at least monthly. Communicate with your massage therapist about problem areas so they can customize your Prenatal Massage.
Combining Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy
Combining chiropractic care with massage therapy provides a holistic approach to managing pregnancy discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments focus on spinal alignment and nerve relief, while massage therapy addresses muscle tension and improves circulation. This integrated method enhances overall comfort, supports proper fetal positioning, and alleviates common pregnancy-related issues.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR MOTHER AND BABY
Dr. Toth has completed a postgraduate certification with the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association for the understanding and treatment of conditions related to children and pregnant women. After a thorough orthopedic, neurological, postural and spinal assessment Dr. Toth will perform a gentle adjustment and give recommendations for lifestyle modifications and necessary exercises.
Breech babies can also be turned with chiropractic care as the due date approaches. The breech position is problematic for many reasons but mostly it increases the chances for a cesarean section delivery. By using gentle adjustments, called the Webster technique, chiropractic can balance the pelvic alignment and allow the baby to turn itself. This is a safe and non-invasive method that can be done with just a few visits to the chiropractor
All adjustments are 100% safe for the baby and mother. Using a gentle hands on approach pregnant women can get adjusted throughout the entire term of their pregnancy up until the very day they deliver. Dr. Toth utilizes a gentle hands on approach that is sensitive to the unique needs of each persons body.
Its also important to consider chiropractic care for the mother and baby immediately after the birth of your infant. The body is often traumatized with such a dramatic event and balancing the alignment can accelerate the healing process so that no long term issues develop over time. Also during the breastfeeding period a new kind of strain can develop while holding an infant for prolonged periods of time. Chiropractic can help decompress tension and pain that interferes with enjoying the precious time you have to bond with your baby.
