How often should a pregnant woman go to the chiropractor?

Hello,
When you are pregnant, depending how far along you are in your pregnancy, you are "kind of late to the game" so to speak. In my experience, giving birth is a natural process and it should be done with relative ease. The complication comes in when the woman's (mom's) pelvic integrity is compromised. As the weeks pass, the amount of weight dispersed throughout the pelvis becomes greater and greater. This is why it is important if a couple is actively seeking to get pregnant that her pelvis stability is the best it can be. In other words, no pain, no sciatica, minimal to no muscle tension / strain through her low back, and minimal to no hamstring tension. This is optimal of course, not everyone achieves this before conception but this is of course ideal.
If a woman finds out that she and her mate are expecting, get in ASAP to see your chiropractor to make sure that your pelvis is together in all ways possible. As the weeks pass and baby grows, the ligaments become under greater strain. IF the pelvis is torqued or strained other than in a normal presentation, now mom has to suffer tension of not only baby weight, growth but also her abnormal biomechanics due to her pregnancy weight that is absolutely necessary for growth of child.
This drastically helps with delivery, the labor time is normally less than 12 hours even for first time pregnancy.
Hope this information helps you.

Is it bad to go to the chiropractor too often?

Hello 33 y/o male,
In short, yes, it is bad to go to the chiropractor too often. Why, you may ask? Because so many chiros are saying, "See you tomorrow"? Frankly, in my opinion, it's because they care more about making a dollar than fixing people. I have a 24-hour guarantee for my services because if I do my job, my patients should be feeling better. Correct?
Now, if a patient had just fallen down off a ladder, down stairs, etc? Then sometimes more than one visit is necessary to address the issue. For instance, when patients were sick with a cold or flu, I would see them in the morning and have them come back in the evening if they are super bad because adjustments support lymph drainage and immune activity. For biomechanics, too much adjusting places greater stress on the ligaments and does not allow them to heal. Adjust them once, and let them rest for 3-7 days depending upon their case. Majority of the time, 95% of my cases, I see patients once a week.
Hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jim M. Weber

Hello,
Ankle issues vary greatly because if you are athletic it could be as simple as it is misaligned and needs to be adjusted. Secondly, you could have a tibia or fibula (knee region) issue that is causing greater strain in the ligaments of the ankle. Lastly, believe it or not, cranial or upper cervical issues can cause ankles to be unstable. Unfortunately, without doing the tests, it's hard to pinpoint, however, there is 3 possible scenarios. There are definitely more but those are the most common.

Hello 38-year-old female,
Chiropractors can work with all sorts of ankle issues. If the ankle is completely dislocated, then I would suggest you seek emergency care to make sure it is set accordingly. However, a subluxation which is defined as "less than a dislocation" is easily corrected by most chiropractors.

How do I know if my knee is out of alignment?
Hello from Dr. Weber,
To the 34-year-old female, you may suspect your knee is out of alignment first and foremost if it is painful while moving or kneeling or extending but READ MORE
Hello from Dr. Weber,
To the 34-year-old female, you may suspect your knee is out of alignment first and foremost if it is painful while moving or kneeling or extending but when you are at rest i.e. not in motion the pain subsides or goes away completely. This could be of course worry or concern for further analysis hence the same course is also possible if you have a meniscal tear. This is why when you go to your doctor he/she may order further diagnostic imaging or if he/she is skilled in orthopedic testing the doctor may perform some orthopedic tests and movements to further assess whether a tear is more likely or it is a subluxation. An overall determinant that increases the potential for a tear is if you had any type of trauma to it, fall, impact, quick turn, etc. if you just woke up and it was hurting then there is a greater likelihood that it just needs a tune up from your chiropractor.
I hope this helps. Thank you!
