A woman’s body can greatly benefit from natural holistic care when pregnant. Not only can the right combination of adjustments and other techniques reduce many of the discomforts associated with this special time, but it can also help ensure that your baby is positioned properly in the womb. Dr. Mary's nearly 30 years of experience working with pregnant women, coupled with her talented prenatal massage therapists and her custom made comfortable tables to accommodate the pregnant body, make Reimer Wellness Center an excellent choice for natural and effective prenatal care.

The body must undergo many changes, some of them drastic, to support a developing fetus and prepare itself for birth. Weight gain and enlargement of the abdomen tend to throw your center of gravity forward, and this can cause muscular strain, spinal misalignments and disruptions of normal nerve function and hormone levels. These changes account for back pain, headaches, and fluid build up in extremities (wrists, ankles, etc.) which are common complaints among pregnant women. Our center’s "Reimer Method" enables Dr. Reimer to evaluate your bodily processes and symptoms, then employ a gentle combination of massage therapy and spinal adjustments to relieve pain and swelling.

Our Los Altos chiropractor's treatments also support your baby's health by preparing your body for birth. The better your nervous system is functioning, the more your body can do to provide a nurturing environment for the developing fetus. Your prenatal care program may also include gentle exercises to keep your muscles strong and flexible, which, combined with spinal adjustments to ensure proper alignment, can facilitate a healthy delivery.

If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant in the near future, schedule a consultation at our wellness center. We can devise a holistic care program to help you experience less discomfort over the months to come.
