Take Care of Your Body in Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time for women to take care of their body and make a commitment to improving their physical and mental health. Not only will this make the process of carrying a child easier, it can impact the child's life after delivery.
We know chiropractic treatments can greatly benefit women's health and wellness by improving nervous system health, supporting overall well-being and quality of rest, and improving your energy safely and holistically. Through regular adjustments, our clients are able to find lasting relief from many common health complaints related to pregnancy, including fatigue and back pain.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Many women seek care during pregnancy to find gentle relief from lower back pain. Since chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive and drug-free, they are safe and effective for expecting mothers. Yet chiropractic care has so many more benefits during this exciting time for women.
Our treatments can help with:
Low back pain - Your growing baby shifts your spine out of alignment and alters your center of gravity. As a result, you may feel back or pelvic pain. Prenatal chiropractic adjustments can help you have a pain-free pregnancy, enjoy a greater range of motion, and feel better on a daily basis.
Bone health - Excess hormones during pregnancy can actually cause your muscles, ligaments, bones, and cartilage to become more pliable. If your pelvic bones shift at this time, it can cause complications during delivery. Regular adjustments can maintain proper alignment of bones for overall bone and body health.
Nervous system - It is well known that chiropractic care boosts your immune system and your nervous system by keeping the spine and nerve pathways clear. Our adjustments can keep your nervous system functioning optimally and benefit your immune system, so you stay as healthy as possible when it matters most.
Shorter labor time - R egular chiropractic visits can shorten your labor time by 25 to 33 percent, research indicates. Deliver a healthy baby faster when you prepare your body beforehand through prenatal chiropractic care.
Overall health and wellness - Research indicates that three-quarters of expecting mothers who receive regular chiropractic adjustments report less postpartum pain. Not only will you enjoy greater health and wellness during your pregnancy, you can feel better and be active sooner after when you see our chiropractor in Bangor.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for over 3,000 years. Specific points on the body are chosen along pathways called "meridians". Very fine needles are inserted into these areas in order to allow the body's energy, or "qi," to be released and help move its natural flow by opening blocked areas.
Chiropractic Adjustment For Neck Pain And Back Pain
Chiropractic, because its focus is on the spine and nervous system, it is a well-proven approach to traditional neck and back problems. Even offering a natural, drug-free approach to headaches has gained chiropractors a loyal following.
Everyone, regardless of age or condition, can benefit from a nervous system that is working at its very best. Today, chiropractic is center stage when it comes to the growing interest in prevention and wellness. Professional athletes, and those who want to perform at their very best, enlist the help of a chiropractor.

Massage Therapy
Many types of massage offer benefits beyond simple relaxation. Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.
