Pregnancy Health Care

Eating right, moving right, and adjusting right is essential for positive pregnancy health care.  Your master control system (nerve system) needs to be functioning on all gears to enjoy your pregnancy.  Neurological stimulation from MOVEMENT charges the brain’s batteries.  Chiropractors provide specific movement (adjustment’s) to your spinal region, thus decreasing interference, thus resulting in pregnancy health care.  Healthy functioning spine = healthy functioning reproductive system.  Emotional stress can lead to fear-based pregnancy.  Pregnancy health care does not come in the form of shot’s, pill’s, unnecessary ultrasounds, blueberry enema’s and whatever has been happening in recent years.  If you are eating right, your body does not have to stress about breaking down horrible toxic food.  If you are moving right (exercising), your body knows what to do.  If you are having your nerve system checked by a chiropractor, your body is adjusting and adapting to the stress placed on it.

Eating right and moving right should be self-explanatory.  Chiropractic though (hopefully chiropractic will be self-explanatory as well)?  Chiropractic is just not about sore backs.  “The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells” Dr. Bruce Liption, PhD Biologist.  Chiropractors check for dysfunction in the nerve system.  A pregnant mother is developing a new individual.  That new individual probably needs some new cells right, just among some other things?  Pregnancy health care is not a medical process.  For instance, awesome individuals like Fern Creek Midwives are here to assist you through this awesome experience.  Fear-based pregnancy is not the way to go.  Eat right, move right, have your nerves checked, have some awesome midwives or “alternative” means of having the pregnancy you want.  Pregnancy health care should not be complicated.
