Pregnancy / Prenatal Chiropractor in Jobstown, NJ at Springfield Family Chiropractic: During pregnancy, the body goes through amazing changes. With the spine, pelvis and other parts of the body moving around during every stage of a pregnancy, misalignments can occur, causing disorders that can affect the nerves, muscles or organs.
With the body changing drastically, the spinal column itself moves to accommodate a child and the extra weight. The pelvis undergoes many changes to compensate for the growing baby as well. Risk of misalignments and interference of the nervous system can increase as pregnancy continues. The pelvis supports the growing uterus with specific ligaments. If the bones of the pelvis are out of alignment, this will cause asymmetrical ligament support of the uterus. This results in a more difficult passage for the baby during delivery.
These structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord, disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Dr. Dawn Wille and Dr. Ryan Wille can adjust your spine and extremities to help the body feel relaxed and subside pain or soreness.
Chiropractic care has been shown to decrease labor time, reduce the need for pain medications, and may even reduce the incidence of post-partum. Those who are pregnant come to chiropractors with problems such as heartburn, morning sickness, low back pain, breech babies, sciatica, swollen ankles and feet, headaches, and constipation.
During a pregnancy, going to Dr. Dawn Wille or Dr. Ryan Wille will help to formulate a specific solution to target the problem areas at every stage. Having regular chiropractic care during a pregnancy can reveal important information regarding a person’s overall heath and provide a base for an effective course of action during every stage of a pregnancy.
Give us a call today at (609) 265-7727 to schedule a complimentary consultation. Dr. Dawn Wille and Dr. Ryan Wille will discuss the benefits of chiropractic care during your pregnancy and how it can help you to have a safer prenatal period followed by a quicker and easier delivery.

I have been having trouble figuring out the root issue to my newborn son’s fussiness. When I called, the receptionist was so understanding and got us an appointment with days. Our first appointment with Dr. Dawn she took the time to listen to all of my concerns and made me feel like she truly cares. Our second appointment my son already improved so much. It is rare nowadays to find a chiropractor who is so family oriented and I am so thankful for them!
