Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Moore at Awesome Chiropractic.  Today I’m going to talk to you about taking care of pregnant women and how we take care of them in our office.   We have a nice pregnant lady here, six and a half months pregnant. We have this breakaway piece for the belly.  She can lay here nice and comfortable.  We also have a drop mechanism here to adjust the pelvis.

I want to show you the pelvic adjustment.  It’s very simple.  We are going to look and pump her legs a little bit and we can see that her right leg goes consistently further than the left. That means her sacrum is twisted.  The sacrum attaches to the uterus in the back and the front of the uterus attaches to the pelvic rim in the front.  So we want to have better alignment in the sacrum and pelvis so the baby is more comfortable and to allow the neurological expression from mom to baby to be just perfect.  We are gong to adjust that real simple.  We will use the just enough resistance on the table to get everything moving.  We pump the legs again and we see that legs are even.  That’s what we want.  We want balance in that area. 

We now check the rest of her spine out.  As the baby gets bigger, things get compressed above and below and often times it will knock a rib out – there’s a rib out here and one there. 

The big thing pregnant women like is the sacral pump.  I make it look simple but it’s not.  I have a hard time teaching chiropractors this and an especially hard time teaching husbands this.  This feels really good.  This puts motion into the sacrum, it pumps the Cerebral Spinal Fluid in mom’s brain, it gets the pelvis moving.  It gets everything mobile. Life is in motion.  We have mobility and EVERYBODY is happier.  It frees up the nervous system and we have a great day. 

What do you notice that’s different from your last pregnancy.  She states her back hurts a lot less and she’s more comfortable.  With the constant change of the baby, a comfortable, happy mom is a comfortable, happy family.
