Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Lawrenceville, NJ
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.
Webster Technique for Pregnant Women
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.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
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!
Pregnancy Massage
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.
Dr. Melissa is such a pleasure to work with. Incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, and amazing with children! We first started going to Colonial Valley Chiro for my infant son’s acid reflux issues. Not only did Dr. Melissa help him get through that, but she has also helped us identify and improve a subluxation that prevented my son from crawling properly. Thanks to her treatment plan, he not only started crawling properly, but his progress has skyrocketed and within a few short months he started crawling and running! We can not thank her enough and are so happy to have been referred to her care.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Dr. Mike and Dr. Melissa. For starters, they are incredibly friendly and welcoming! It is obvious from the get-go that they are going to give you all the time you need to talk to them, answer any and all of your questions, and provide you with highest quality chiropractic care. You will never feel like you are being rushed in this office, and it is obvious that they want to give each of their patients 100% of their focus while they are there. CVC is a VERY family friendly office, for newborns on up! When it comes to children, Dr. Melissa is a miracle worker. I never thought my children (7 months, 2.5, and 4.5) would be OK getting adjusted, but Dr. Melissa makes them feel so safe and comfortable, and they actually love going to see her! Not to mention, they love the kids area that is loaded with things to do! To them, it’s like a treat to go to CVC! I get adjusted by Dr. Mike weekly, and it certainly makes a positive impact on my life. Being the father of three kids and working quite a bit to support a family, chiropractic care has helped me to de-stress, and keep my body strong in the midst of a lot of busyness! Dr. Mike is easy going, patient, knowledgeable and great at providing advice on how to avoid injuries, deal with injuries, and maintain physical wellness. HIGHLY recommend any adult AND/OR their children going to CVC! We love it there and we are there to stay!

I couldn’t be happier with this chiropractic team!! Both Dr. Mike and Dr. Melissa go above and beyond in their quality of care. They are both so knowledgeable, supportive, caring and very accommodating to my needs. They really take the time to listen to my concerns, thorougly explain the adjustments and offer me very helpful advice about exercises and stretching to help me to be more comfortable in my daily life. They also offer such great healthy lifestyle advice that I have used to improve my health and well-being and overall quality of life. I have gotten such great care here that I only use chiropractic to manage my health. They are always friendly and make me feel so welcome every time I see them. Dr. Mike helps me feel like a new person every time I go in for my adjustments and Dr. Melissa has helped my son with adjustments to help clear fluid from his ears and for behavioral issues. Dr. Melissa is very loving, patient and kind with children and Dr. Mike is so patient with me and is always gives me extra time and answers my many questions and will take as long with me as I need to get me feeling like new again. This team is outstanding – you will be very happy that you came here!!

Dr Melissa and her husband Michael are wonderful. I have had back issues my whole life and have tried other chiropractors , but she has by far been the best! She is accommodating and takes the time to explain my condition and what she thinks would be the best plan to help me. Its obvious that she truly cares about her patients. I would highly recommend Colonial Valley Chiropractic.

Thanks to Dr. Melissa and Dr. Mike, I was able to understand the power of chiropractic care. More importantly they helped erase my fear of going to the chiropractor with their techniques and their patience for explaining each and every move. THANK YOU!

It is amazing what you would do as a mother to get the best care for your child. I was referred to Dr. Melissa McCue by a reliable source and started taking my infant son to see her for acid reflux issues (despite living almost an hour from the office). She is not only incredibly pleasant but also highly knowledgable. As time went, on she also helped my son identify and overcome a subluxation issue which caused him to struggle with crawling. We then transferred to a Dr closer to home with Dr Melissa’s help, merely for commuting convenience, however that Dr did not compare in any way, so back we were and continue to go! Words cannot express how much we love seeing Dr Melissa (yes, especially my son!). She is great with children and her care is above and beyond what words could describe. Worth the hour drive!!

I’ve been going to Colonial Valley Chiropractic on and off for seven or so years now. Both the Drs. and their office are warm and inviting, while also professional. As someone new to chiropractic care, I was a little nervous during my first few visits. They were both excellent at putting me at ease while adjusting, as well as adept at answering any questions I had. I highly recommend them for the entire family, from pregnancy through old age!
