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.

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!!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
