  • WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY
    Pregnancy is a time when it can be challenging to feel your best. Weight gain, a changing center of gravity, and hormonal changes can leave you feeling unfamiliar with your own body. Combine those physical changes with the emotions of anticipating an upcoming birth, and all the questions and worries that come with that-- is my baby thriving? Will my baby be well-positioned when my delivery day comes? Chiropractic care during pregnancy can address both the physical discomfort mom may be feeling and support the unborn baby to move into an optimal birth position.

    For mothers-to-be seeking to reduce discomfort without the use of drugs or surgery, chiropractic care with the Webster Technique is a trusted and reliable solution for thousands of women all over the world. At TOV Chiropractic, our doctors are experienced in this technique and ready to help you move towards optimal health and comfort for both you and your baby.

    WHAT IS THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE?
    The technique was developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Distinct from general chiropractic care, this method specifically focuses on bringing the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments into balance during pregnancy. Whereas many people seek chiropractic care to alleviate pain, this treatment path supports overall wellness and is generally recommended for pregnancy whether or not mom is currently feeling discomfort.

    WHY CHOOSE CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY?
    A quicker more comfortable labor and better positioning for delivery are just a few of the reasons why women turn to chiropractic care during pregnancy. Treatment is also supportive for those wishing to have a drug-free vaginal birth with as few interventions as possible. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also address common complaints such as headaches, back and leg pain. The Webster Technique centers on applying strategic, gentle pressure to the pelvis which restores alignment and causes the uterus to relax. As a result, a baby can find more room to turn heads-down and mom can find greater comfort. Feeling good during pregnancy can help mom keep up her normal routine, exercise regimen and regular range of motion. All of these factors contribute to a greater chance of a birth with fewer (or no!) medical interventions. Pregnant women around the world who are looking to give themselves the best possible chances of reducing discomfort before and during labor without drugs or surgery turn to the Webster Technique. This mode of care is appropriate for pregnant women no matter what type of birth plan you have in mind and will be useful in any setting -- home birth, birth center or hospital.

    WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
    Your appointments with your doctor will be something you’ll look forward to. It is our goal that each appointment brings physical comfort and an emotional sense of ease. Before your adjustment begins, your doctor will always discuss with you any updates to your overall health, pregnancy, and any new sensations or symptoms. After the initial assessment and one-on-one discussion, you can expect your chiropractor to complete your adjustment using a specially modified table to allow space for your growing belly and other pillows or supports for your comfort. These appointments are slightly longer than a typical adjustment appointment and include targeted massage as well. Your appointment is customized for exactly what your body needs in the moment, and for what baby needs to be well positioned for birth.

    Above all, treatment with the Webster Technique is gentle and safe.

    WHEN SHOULD I START CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY?
    No matter what point you’re at in your pregnancy, it is not too late to begin treatment. However, the earlier our doctors can see you the better. Releasing the stress building on your pelvis and uterine structures will be essential in helping you remain comfortable and active as long as possible up to the baby’s birth.

    If you’re aware that your baby is in breech position, please contact us to be seen as soon as possible. The later in the pregnancy you wait, the larger the baby is and the more effort will be required to get them to turn to a heads-down position. That said, it can be possible to encourage a baby to turn as late as the 38th or 39th week of pregnancy with the help of a certified Webster practitioner.

    Chiropractic care can also be supportive during the preconception phase. Because chiropractic care improves the function of the nervous system, which is linked to the reproductive system, benefits to care can include a return to regular menstrual cycles and a better functioning uterine system.

    Ultimately, making the time for chiropractic care during pregnancy is a gift you can give not just to yourself, but that will benefit your newest family member as well.

    WEBSTER TECHNIQUE FOR BREECH BABIES
    If you have any doubts at all, please don’t hesitate to be in touch with our office or to discuss your care plan with your midwife or obstetrician. Chiropractic care using the Webster Technique is well established and known to safely deliver consistent positive results for pregnant women.

    Our Webster Technique certified doctors are ready and willing to support you on your journey to as quick and comfortable a birth as possible.

  • More and more kids are going to see the chiropractor, and parents are starting to take notice. The reasons that kids should see a chiropractor are the same as adults: the spine can be impacted by nerve distress that can lead to issues regardless of age.

    Having children visit a chiropractor is equally as important during a young age, because the body is still developing. Ensuring proper care and lifestyle at a young age can lead to a healthier life for children, and parents love that it doesn’t involve surgery or prescription drugs.

    TOV Chiropractic is a Pediatric Chiropractor in Mankato, MN. We believe that your child deserves a life free of pain, sickness, and disease. Learn more about how our chiropractic care can benefit your child’s health and overall wellbeing.

    BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR KIDS

    ENHANCE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLBEING
    There are so many health and wellbeing benefits that stem from seeing a chiropractor, especially when one is young. Some of the most notable benefits that your child will see include better sleep, an increase in strength, better immune system, and a more comfortable life. Neglecting to see a chiropractor can lead to aches and pains, bad posture, and injuries among other things.

    MAXIMIZE NEURAL PLASTICITY
    Care from a chiropractor can help maximize the neural plasticity of your child. Essentially, neural plasticity represents the ability of your child's nervous system to change. It is helpful when the nervous system can modify itself, both functionally and structurally, especially in response to any injuries.

    IMPROVE SPINAL POSTURE
    Posture is critical to your body's health, as bad posture can lead to an array of other negative things. Bad posture puts a strain on the body’s muscles and ligaments, leading to bigger problems down the road that can prove to be costly and uncomfortable. Bad posture can also lead to fatigue, because your body has to work harder to function regularly.

    SYMPTOMS THAT WARRANT A VISIT

    There are a number of different signs that you should see a chiropractor. Some signs are more obvious than others, and some require a little extra attention to notice. Here are some common things you should look out for in your child to see if an immediate visit is necessary.

    • Digestive stress

    • Sleep concerns

    • Colic

    • Limited range of motion

    • Gas pains

    • Constant ear infections

    Remember that these are just some symptoms, and if you are worried, don’t hesitate to reach out to a local chiropractor.

    WHEN IS THE BEST AGE TO START

    The reality is, it’s never a bad time to start seeing a chiropractor. It is perfectly safe for infants and young children to see a chiropractor. In fact, infants can benefit greatly from a chiropractor because they are trained to assess an infant's hips, necks, and collarbones.

    As children grow up, regular visits to the chiropractor are important. If you notice your child is expressing discomfort with their back and or neck, avoids certain activities, or is displaying poor posture, that is a sign that you should take them to see a chiropractor.

  • "Our entire family receives care and we couldn't be happier. We love TOV!"

    Chelsea was first introduced to TOV after her husband came to get help with some shoulder pain he was experiencing. After seeing some relief, he brought his son in who was struggling with sleep and needed some support with development. Soon after, the whole family began care.

    Before starting, digestive issues, headaches, sleep issues, speech concerns, hyperactivity, and ear issues were known all too well to this family. They were looking for a natural approach that would get down to correcting the cause instead of just masking the issues.

    After consistent adjustment, the family is living their best life. They have noticed significant changes and improvements with all of their health concerns.

  • "TOV has changed so much for me and it's incredible. They've changed my life so much in the short amount of time I've been under care."

    Emily came to TOV Chiropractic dealing with a multitude of health concerns. She was suffering from Asthma, allergies, anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, back pain, acid reflux, and thumb pain, all of which made it difficult for her to live her life.

    After trying other chiropractors, specialists, medications, and even surgery, nothing seemed to work. Since starting with TOV, her health has improved immensely. She can move more easily, and has reduced and eliminated some medications.

  • "Chiropractic care can help put your body on the right path toward healing. It is a more proactive rather than reactive way to look at our health."

    Leah and her family have always thought chiropractic care was a good thing. they take a more holistic approach to health, including taking supplements, staying active, and working to naturally build their immunity.

    Leah and Nick have used TOV during many stages throughout their lives. From supporting comfort throughout pregnancy, overcoming breastfeeding challenges, dealing with earn infections and hyper mobility, the family uses chiropractic care to help the body heal naturally before going to a medical clinic.

  • "Since starting care my behavior has improved, I am sleeping much better, and I feel better!"

    Narriah has been quite the rock star since she started care at TOV. She came to us seeking relief from issues like headaches, back pain, behavioral concerns, bladder issues, and struggling with daily tasks.

    She had been seen by doctors, psychologists, and tried therapy with little improvement to her case. That’s a lot for someone who should be enjoying their younger years without having to worry about their health!

    Within the first month of care her back and neck pain was gone, and by 3 months she had experienced complete relief or improvement in each problem area. She is glad she can be a kid again!

  • "Go see Dr. Eathn at TOV. He has made us all feel better health wise and energy wise. You won't regret it!"

    Heather and her family started care in 2020. They had gone through a period of time where everyone was constantly sick. Along with illness, they also came searching for answers for sleep, behavior issues, and help with flexibility. Their first impression of the office was the love of Christian music.

    They have noticed as a whole that their family has been healthier, sleeping better, and overall feeling much better since starting chiropractic care.

  • "Thank you for taking my concerns seriously."

    Tasha met Dr. Ethan and Hannah at an event and could tell right away that they were passionate about people’s health, and decided to give it a go. When she started care she was having severe headaches, irregular periods, high blood pressure, anxiety, and was tired all the time.

    After just 3 weeks of care Tasha noticed her headaches were better and her energy was increasing. After 6 weeks, her menstrual cycle was normal. After 3 months of care, she is full of energy and no longer sleeps her weekends away, and has a more positive outlook on life.

    She had been dealing with concerns for years, trying everything, and nothing was working for her until finding TOV.

  • "We firmly believe you will have more impactful results long term."

    Cody began care at TOV in 2021. Not long after, he brought his pregnant wife to start care. While under care, they introduced their newborn Mia into the world! Mia started her chiropractic journey at just 3 days old!

    Before chiropractic, Cody dealt with neck and shoulder pain, and Diana was experiencing hip problems throughout her pregnancy. Without changing anything else in their lives, Diana now feels less worn down, Cody experiences far less stress on his shoulders, and also has had a decrease in headaches and neck pain.

    Although they were new to the torque release technique, Diana and Cody enjoy how precise this method is and they like being able to truly see the science behind it.

  • "We no longer accept living in pain as a normal thing."

    Gerri, Bill, and their two kids began chiropractic care in 2020. Prior to getting adjusted at TOV, Bill experienced shoulder and knee issues, Gerri had hip issues, their daughter struggled with anxiety and asthma, and their son dealt with congestion issues. The whole family had been dealing with these problems for years, and traditional medical solutions didn’t seem to work.

    They loved the educational focus at TOV, and both Bill and Gerri’s issues have minimized. Leland’s congestion has cleared up, and Piper’s anxiety and asthma are much more manageable. They have also noticed that they have had an increase in their immune system function, and they fight off sickness easier. They have all seen an increase in energy and sleep!
