Preconception Chiropractic Care and Designed Clinical Nutrition
The Benefits
Prepare your body for pregnancy through preconception chiropractic care and personalized nutrition therapy, to provide essential whole body benefits such as:
Improved Fertility:
Our body’s central nervous and endocrine systems are intricately connected by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. “Getting adjusted” takes the stress off of your HPA access and the greater nervous system, and helps improve your fertility. Proper physical alignment allows for optimal nerve flow from your brain, through your spine, to your reproductive organs. Supporting with nutrition therapy will “build up” your body to prepare for the demands of pregnancy, and allow for optimal HP-axis connection.
Increased Functionality:
Preconception chiropractic adjustments align your spine and pelvis, preparing the body to function at its best during pregnancy. Building up the body to its full potential with the proper foods will increase function and reduce internal stressors.
Greater Adaptability to Stress:
Pregnancy and childbirth will put a lot of stress on your body. Preconception chiropractic care makes your body more adaptable to physical and emotional stress and better at self-healing, improving your chances of experiencing your best pregnancy and birth. Nutritional support at this time will help to lower and minimize the effects of stress, thereby improving fertility.
