Perinatal Care
Chiropractic care is one of the best ways tools to support both mom and baby during every stage of the pregnancy journey. Dr. Bailee is ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) webster certified and Birthfit doctor. Dr. Bailee evaluates the pelvis often utilizing a neuro-tonal assessment to evaluate the muscles, bones, and ligaments in the pelvis. Adjustments help release tension in the mom so the baby can move freely and get into the best position for birth. This allows for safer and easier births!

Round Ligament Pain
Women have two ligaments that attach to either side of the uterus. The ligaments are there to support and add structure, by stretching and thickening. Round ligament pain may present at any time during pregnancy, however, it is most common in the second trimester as the baby continues to grow. The pain can be felt in the abdomen and hip, sometimes traveling to the groin.

At Rooted Living Charleston, we evaluate the muscles, ligaments, and bones in the pelvic region to make sure they are working together symmetrically. During pregnancy as the hormone relaxin is helping make space for the baby, round ligament pain may present on one side or both sides. At our clinic, we use chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release technique, tapping, and functional movements to help support and ease round ligament pain as mom is growing and developing.
