Preconception Chiropractic

Have you ever considered preparing your body for a child before pregnancy? Chiropractic adjustments prior to conception prepare your body to be strong, efficient and balanced for a healthy pregnancy.

At Root & Bloom Chiropractic, we are committed to helping women who are willing to make a change but have found no real solution. Using advanced technology, we measure where stress is affecting the Nervous System, allowing us to be highly specific in the chiropractic care.

The Nervous System is your body’s stress response system. Therefore, if your body perceives that its continuously stressed, the Nervous System will prioritize survival functions – such as pushing blood to your muscles, increasing your heartrate and blood pressure and releasing stress hormones such as cortisol. Physiologically, the human body cannot be in a survival or “fight or flight” mode simultaneously with a growth and development mode. This leads to a lessening of the systems in the body that are not necessary when a perceived “threat” occurs. This leads to a disruption of proper hormone regulation, ovulation and even reproductive function.

By reducing this stress with chiropractic care and our preconception essentials, the surge of stress hormones is reduced and allows the body to restore its normal balance leading to an internal environment optimal for reproductive function. During our preconception nutrition consultation, we discuss ways in which you and your partner can optimize your health to ensure that your pregnancy has the best chance of success.
