There are many reasons patients come to see Dr. Rob, but many women come to find relief during pregnancy - especially during the third trimester. The body changes in many ways to make room for the growing baby and this can often lead to lower back pain, headaches, ligament pain and even conditions like diatasis pubi that cause separation of the pelvic bones. Dr. Rob uses special adjustments for all of these conditions and often has an expectant mother lay on a special pillow to accommodate her growing belly so she can be adjusted comfortably. He is trained and knowledgeable in what chiropractic adjustments are most beneficial for pregnant women and performs adjustments to prevent pain and even minimize the likelihood of complications during delivery. The Webster technique is one type of adjustment used in order to promote the turning of breech babies by properly aligning the mother’s pelvis, thus allowing the baby to turn head down and prepare for delivery.
What have other expectant mothers said about their experience getting chiropractic care at Grand Traverse Family Chiropractic during their pregnancy?
“My third pregnancy I was having a lot of rib and back pain. I had almost given up hope for relief until I found Dr. Rob who had been highly recommended to me by friends and colleagues. He was patient, didn’t mind me bringing my little ones with me to the appointment and best part was that it miraculously helped with my pain. It helped me work up until I delivered by periodically receiving adjustments. I would highly recommend his services!” - Heather S.
“Dr. Rob and his staff are unfailingly friendly, professional, efficient and helpful. I started visiting the practice shortly after it opened and have since had regular adjustments and massages to alleviate back and neck pain through two pregnancies. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Dr. Rob and GTFC! I even brought both of my boys as newborns to get adjusted by Dr. Rob. They were instantly calm and relaxed during their adjustments. I recommend GTFC to all of my friends and family- they are fantastic!” - Paige P.
“I came to Dr Rob 6 months pregnant and in a TON of pain in my back after a fall. Within a month and a half I am pain free, seeing him once a week until my due date and finally feel normal! I cannot express enough gratitude for the way he handled the care I was given. His staff is incredible and so friendly. The massage therapist was great and very accommodating with my pregnancy! Cannot recommend them enough!” - Sarah A.
“Dr. Rob is great! He helped me with my aches and pains during pregnancy. He has also helped my baby (now four months old) with gas and acid reflux! She even sleeps better after adjustments - I'm so thankful! The best in town, and the front desk girls are super sweet too!” - Mallory Z.
“Best chiropractor around! Dr. Rob helped so much at the end of my pregnancy! Since then he's now caring for my whole family! He's wonderful with babies and children!!!” - Shawn A.
“Dr. Rob is wonderful. He has helped me through migraines and is now getting me through my 3rd pregnancy. Without him I would be in so much pain. He has also greatly helped my husband through his ruptured disk without having to do surgery. He is back to work full time and has a very physical job. Dr. rob is down to earth and easy to talk to and the front desk staff is great too. Lovely office, can’t say enough.” - Nichole A.
