At Thrive Family Chiropractic we are on a mission to serve moms, kids, and families. That all starts with pregnancy and birth. Over the years, we've had many mothers enter our doors. Some have had particularly incredible stories to share. Here is a look into our office and the success stories we've had. One young woman had been married for 6 years and had never gotten pregnant. They weren't "trying" but they weren't not trying either. She came to us after her husband had started care for back pain. She was a stud athlete snowboarder also with back pain. When she learned what we do here, she was intrigued - yet skeptical. So we adjusted her for 3 months. They went on a family fishing trip and came back with a surprise. A positive pregnancy test! The only thing she had changed was starting chiropractic care. Now she has a healthy 3 month old baby boy. Another mom, this one in her mid forties was pregnant with her 3rd baby. She hadn't been pregnant for over 6 years and this pregnancy was knocking her off her feet. With 3 kids at home, working a stressful job, and not prepared mentally, physically, or emotionally for another pregnancy. She needed help and support. Her back hurt, she was puffy, she had sciatica, and headaches...all happening at only 3 months in. She started care and within 1 month she was feeling better than she did before becoming pregnant. Sleeping better, no pain, and able to move her body with ease. She made it through her pregnancy and had the easiest birth of her 3 children. A postpartum mom entered our office after having a traumatic birth experience. Her epidural was still causing her extreme pain and she was numb on the right side of her lower back. She hadn't prioritized her healing because she was busy with a set of twins. Her birth story was not the one she had planned and she ended up with an emergency c-section after laboring for 48 hours. She had extreme pubic bone pain and could hardly walk! Our neurology scans showed a lot of troubled nerve activity at the epidural site. After her first adjustment her numbness went away and she was able to take her first steps without a limp. Not only that, she reported she was able to have bowel movements again without stool softeners! Now that is what postpartum care should feel like. A second time mom came to us at 7 months pregnant. Her first pregnancy was tough, she was young and unprepared. When she arrived at the hospital for her first birth, she said it was total chaos. Her doctor wasn't on staff that day, she was stalling in her labor and they started intervening with drugs (pitocin). Her pitocin induced contractions were so painful she needed an epidural. After that epidural everything started crumbling around her. The stress of this birth forced her into a c-section. For her second birth she wanted to be more prepared! She learned that chiropractic can help breech baby positioning so she started care with us. Her pelvis was so tight and restricted, there was no surprise that this baby did not want to go head down. When it came time to birth, she wanted a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). With the tools she learned at our office and with the specific Webster adjustments, her baby made it head down and she got the birth she always wanted.
