| Is Gentle Chiropractic completely safe & effective during Pregnancy? |
Simply put and emphatically, Yes! Being pregnant is a amazing and important time in a woman's life. However, it's also when the body is going through many changes, one of which is weight gain. A woman is designed to carry the additional burden, but it's important to realize how stressful being pregnant is on the spine, legs, feet and ankles. For many years, women simply had to suffer the discomfort and pains of pregnancy. Taking medication of course was out of the question due to the fear of possible damage to the unborn child and chiropractic itself was not a widely available and practiced medicine until the late 1960's. Thankfully now, due to cutting edge treatments and specialized techniques, pregnant women can find the relief they desperately need and deserve.
Gentle Chiropractic is very safe and effective in relieving pain, promoting flexibility and ease in the back, legs, knees, ankles, shoulders and feet of every patient. However instead of having only one or two of these issues, many pregnant women get the pleasure of all of them at once.
What makes Dr. Hendon different than other chiropractors in Nashville? It is his use and combination of several gentle techniques including Activator Method and Torque Release Technique. Both of these treatments incorporate the use of small instruments which gently nudge the vertebrae back in the correct alignment. The shift is amazingly quick, only 1/1000 of a second but is completely pain free. It gets the job done with very little force and therefore inflammation.
Dr. Hendon wants patients to be as comfortable as possible. We offer Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage with an experienced and dedicated therapist on staff. It is Dr. Hendon's number one priority to provide all of his patients with superior results without pain and discomfort. However, when a woman's body is under the stress of pregnancy, gentle, light force chiropractic is a natural fit. Call us today and let Dr. Bill Hendon take great care of you during this important & remarkable time.
