Prenatal Chiropractic

Dr. Andrino is a practitioner of both Webster and its precursor, Logan Basic. He has also developed additional methods for special situations. He cares for women trying to conceive, pregnant mothers from week 20 on who desire an easier labor and delivery, including those who require assistance in gently and safely encouraging their baby to correct from a breeched position.

During fetal development the uterus must expand. This occurs only if the pelvis is balanced. The ligaments connected to the uterus maintain a symmetrically supportive structure for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of alignment, these ligaments become torqued and twisted causing a condition known as intra-uterine-constraint. This constraint limits the space available to the developing baby. Any compromised position for the baby throughout pregnancy will affect his or her optimal development. Conditions such as torticollis for example, occur because the baby’s space was cramped in utero. If the uterus is constrained as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth. Even if the baby is head down, there are other positioning issues to consider. The head may be slightly tilted off to one side or, even more traumatically, present in the posterior position.

Any baby position even slightly off during birth will slow down labor, and add pain to both the mother and baby. Many women have been told that their babies were too big, or labor just slowed down when it was really the baby’s presentation interfering with the normal process and progression.
