Pregnancy Chiropractic with
John McAtamney DC
The arrival of a new baby is one of the most special times in a woman’s life. Ensuring Mom’s body is as healthy as possible is extremely important. Not just for her, but for the baby too!
Dr. Mac advises women to start chiropractic care before they get pregnant to make sure they have a healthy nervous system. The nervous system controls the hormonal system, the immune system, and it makes all the other systems work better.
If you’re trying to get pregnant, doesn’t it make sense to have all the systems in your body working as optimally as possible? With chiropractic you can help ensure your chances of getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and delivering a healthy baby are at their best.

Why Do I Need Chiropractic?
Your body is going through a lot of changes. The strain on your joints and muscles, balance issues, and pressure from an enlarged abdomen during pregnancy are substantial. Pain and discomfort, especially in the third trimester, are common.
Dr. Mac is certified in the Webster Technique, designed to make your adjustments gentler and specific, and CACCP, advanced pregnancy, family, and children’s care. Making adjustments to the pelvis relieves some of the discomfort that accompanies pregnancy. Better pelvis and spine movement makes the labor and delivery process shorter and less painful.

Preparing for Baby
Dr. Mac also advises our moms-to-be to connect with a doula or midwife to find out what to expect. Many women have no idea how to breastfeed or understand the signals their baby sends them. We’ll help you find the right doula or midwife for you.
Preparing yourself psychologically by talking to your baby, and spending some quiet time with them, is important. Your baby shares your feelings of stress and turmoil, so make sure they feel your love too!
