Pregnancy Chiropractor in Lawrenceville

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.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Melissa! We found her after my son had been through three rounds of antibiotics for ear infections basically in a row. I heard chiropractic care might work and I was ready to try anything. She made my one year old feel comfortable within the first visit. The second visit I remember him going from being too stuffy to nurse to able to breathe through his nose about a half hour after his adjustment. I was a believer then. Through the months that followed Dr. Melissa provided support not only in person, but through text as well. She taught us a lot about ear infections, showed us massage to prevent, and talked to use about supplements to support his immune system. Several months after seeing her, my son’s fluid (which doctors thought would never drain) was completely GONE. I couldn’t believe it! I can not recommend her enough and will always go for adjustments over antibiotics in the future when it comes to my little guy’s ears. It WORKS!

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 is great. Got to my 1st appointment early and didn’t have to wait at all. She explained everything before and during the adjustments, took a good amount of time to learn my medical history and all of my ailments… and my pinched nerve (the reason I made the appt.) was better within 2 days! She was also very accommodating to my schedule and understanding on a last minute cancellation due to a migraine and in general very friendly and kind as is her son who was the receptionist.

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.

I started taking my 6 week old son to Dr. Melissa for acid reflux. He was always crying from the pain and I was reaching a breaking point. After doing a lot of research I came across lots of threads about how chiropractics “cured” babies reflux, I decided to give it a try. I googled chiropractors in the area and Colonial Valley popped right up. After reading great reviews I gave them a call. It was the best decision I could have made for my son. I saw an immediate change in his behavior. His reflux would get better after each visit to the point that after a few weeks he was off his reflux meds. Now he is a 5 months old and happy as can be! We have had a great experience with Colonial Valley and can not thank Dr. Melissa for all she has done to help our sweet boy!

5 stars in our book for Colonial!!! Dr. Melissa and Dr. Michael are fantastic. From table-side manner to appointments to treatments, they are effective and personable. They see our whole family for ‘wellness visits’ as well. I wouldn’t try anyone else with my little kiddos…. Dr. Melissa, especially, has that gentle approach for expectant mothers and newborns. She had such a positive impact on the growth of my family. Thank you!!

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Mike for over a year now. When I started, I was experiencing severe pain from sciatica. I’ve been pain free since going to Dr. Mike. Look forward to my regular maintenance visits. Highly recommended!
