At Colonial Valley Chiropractic, we specialize in offering chiropractic care for expecting mothers. During the various stages of your pregnancy and labor, your spine is subjected to an extreme amount of stress. The center of gravity shifts forward and the substantial weight that you gain will add stress to the spine of the expecting mother. This will lead to headaches, lower back pain, insomnia, nausea and other symptoms that can interfere with the quality of the mother’s life.
Furthermore, a spine that is misaligned, stressed or worn out can result in complications during the delivery of the child. This can lead to a painful delivery as well as problems with the positioning of the baby. A study performed by the American Medical Association concluded that women who got chiropractic treatment during their pregnancy were able to carry and deliver their baby with far more comfort.
Dealing with shifting weight, imbalance and pain & discomfort from a taxed nervous system are prime reasons for the need of chiropractic care for pregnant women. Dr. Melissa McCue, DC is an expert at delivering high-quality chiropractic services for expecting mothers from day one of pregnancy to birth – and beyond.
The Webster Technique was designed to help remove subluxations in pregnant women and restore balance to the pelvic area through adjustments and relaxation of special ligaments in the pelvic girdle. This helps to relieve the pressure and stress that can be placed on the pelvic area during pregnancy & childbirth and it also helps with optimal fetal positioning.
Chiropractic care for expecting mothers includes adjustments and manipulations designed to maintain proper pelvic balance & alignment and to cut down on complications to help ensure a smooth delivery. Natural pain relief is also a key benefit as all medications can cross the placenta and have negative effects on your soon to be bundle of joy!
At Colonial Valley Chiropractic we also provide our patients with the option of receiving pregnancy massages. These massages utilize a comfortable, secure side-laying position for the expected mother in order to avoid undue pressure on the lower back and the growing abdomen.
Benefits to pregnancy massage include blood pressure control, strengthened immunity system, anxiety and depression reduction, stretch mark prevention, better sleep and many more.
My go-to chiropractor office is the greatest… Sarah the front desk is awesome and the chiropractor who adjusts me does a heck of a good job. He knows what he’s doing and he has professional as well as safe what he adjusts you. Once I’m done being adjusted I walk out of there refreshed and relieved because I’m always on my feet and my back is usually very stiff as well as my neck. Great chiropractic office and I highly recommend
I enjoy any time I visit Colonial. Dr. Melissa is genuine, professional and knows her stuff. She listens to every detail I provide to ensure that the service given will help to relieve my concerns. She also makes fantastic outside recommendations for care beyond her services. The office itself is always very clean, neatly organized and has great energy. The front desk staff is very polite and helpful as well. Worth the 35 minute drive for me!
McCue is by far the best chiropractor group I have ever been to. Myself and my son, who suffered from a severe tongue tie, started seeing Melissa by a simple google search and it was literally the best thing that happened to us. Not only was she amazing with my then 2 month old, but she also linked us with a CST therapist and made amazing recommendations that have not only made major improvements with both my and my sons health, but now my little guy is all caught up and LOVES coming to see her for maintenance. They are so accommodating for schedules, they have great communication with all of their patients, their facility is spotless and Melissa and her husband are the most down to earth people you will ever meet. Our family will never see anyone else!
We love Dr. Melissa!! She is warm and inviting. She is so knowledgeable and always makes us comfortable. Truly the best around and highly recommend both her pediatric and regular chiropractic services
Great experience & really friendly staff!
Dr. Melissa is the best! She is a wealth of knowledge- and has a healing touch. I saw her for adjustments all throughout my last pregnancy, which helped tremendously with pains I was having – especially my carpal tunnel. I continue to see her -and bring all of my boys to her- for continued wellness. She helped my teen son with a trampoline/whiplash injury- and my baby with torticollis. Her office is always very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend Colonial Valley Chiropractic/Dr. Melissa!
