Pregnancy Chiropractic in Fort Myers
Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to your body, often accompanied by discomfort that can’t be addressed with conventional pain medications. Dr. Stokke provides tailored chiropractic care that safely accommodates your changing body. Each adjustment is carefully performed with your comfort and your baby’s safety as the top priority.
Many expectant mothers find that regular adjustments ease their physical stress while helping to prepare their bodies for a smoother delivery experience.
Why Prenatal Chiropractic Makes a Difference
As your pregnancy progresses, your biomechanics change dramatically, placing increasing strain on your spine and nervous system. Natural chiropractic care helps keep your body aligned as these changes occur, reducing pressure and tension on your spine. We place special emphasis on maintaining proper pelvic alignment, which can significantly impact your delivery.
Your First Prenatal Adjustment: What to Expect
Our team understands that many moms-to-be may feel nervous about chiropractic care. We begin each relationship by discussing your concerns and explaining exactly what will happen during treatment. “I explain what I’m going to do, and then I do it, and then I explain what I just did,” says Dr. Stokke about his approach. You’ll never experience unexpected movements or positions, and all techniques are modified to accommodate your body comfortably without face-down positioning.
Care Schedule That Grows with Your Pregnancy
Your chiropractic needs change as your pregnancy progresses. In the early stages, visits might be scheduled every two to four weeks to address initial discomforts like nausea and minor postural changes. During the final trimester, when your body carries the most weight and pressure, weekly visits provide crucial support.
We recommend once-weekly adjustments during the last 3-4 months to maintain optimal alignment. This care schedule adapts to your unique prenatal journey and helps prepare your body for the birthing process.
