Kendall
Already a star🌟wellness practice member at E320 Chiropractic💚, our friend Kendall said it was an “easy decision” to continue chiropractic care when she became pregnant with her first little one👶. “I didn’t know much about it (i.e. prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care), so I did my own research first and then asked Dr. Rhonda about the safety of it since I was a bit worried about laying on my stomach and the intensity of the adjustments,” Kendall explained. However, once Dr. Rhonda shared her expertise🤓as a neurologically-focused pediatric chiropractor and after a trusted friend experienced amazing results during her own pregnancy and delivery, Kendall knew she was in good hands👐.
Kendall has always been a hard worker💪that requires her to be on her feet a lot, so she wanted to prepare her body for the extra strain that would come with growing a tiny human 👶💖. Having a regulated and well-balanced nervous system is crucial during pregnancy since it acts as the master control center for not just one person, but two😲! When properly balanced, the nervous system promotes better hormonal regulation, blood flow, and immune function, creating an optimal environment for the baby’s growth and development as well as the mother’s overall well-being👍. Unfortunately, experiencing regularly excessive amounts of stress causes interference and distortion within the nervous system (AKA subluxation). This imbalance causes problems with blood pressure, back pain and sciatica, neck pain and headaches, anxiety and nausea, hormonal imbalances😣, and can even affect a baby’s position in the womb🤰 👉(hence the reason why removing the subluxations through consistent adjustments is extra important during pregnancy)! 👈
Because this is her first child, Kendall said it’s been a pleasant surprise to see how well her body has handled the new life coming her way soon💕. “I used to get really bad tension headaches, but those have not been as frequent throughout care. My body has changed a lot during pregnancy🤰, but the discomfort is minimal. I don’t feel like my pregnancy has affected my joints or back like I thought it would,” Kendall said🙌.
Kendall said she’s so glad😊that she chose to continue care while pregnant not only because of how well her body is handling its many changes, but also because “Dr. Rhonda has encouraged me to take care of myself thus taking care of my body💚.” Kendall continued, “I have better mood regulation, I’m less anxious, and I’m sleeping better💤. Dr. Rhonda always discusses my OB-GYN appointments with me, and she tells me what to be concerned about and what not to.” Kendall said she feels seen and cared for by the E320 Team💚, and for that we say, “You make it easy, friend🤗!” You’re going to do great, Kendall✨!
