I have my 1st chiro appt today, anything special I should know?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So, I have a back injury from a car wreck in 2000 that damaged both my upper vertebrae (in my neck) and 2 of my lower vertebrae. It has caused me almost constant problems, but since my insurance ran out almost 2 years after the accident my therapy/chiro appts stopped.
My last pregnancy, I was miserable with back/hip pain, sciatic pain, and headaches and I just dealt with it as best I could. SO...this time I decided (with my Dh's new insurance) to get to a Chiropractor early and see what we could do to prevent/help it
I've heard good things about Chiro care & pregnancy, so....

Is there anything special I should look for, or ask when I meet with this new doc?

I just went to a doctor who was familiar with pregnancy and I believe it's called the Webster technique, but I am not sure if that is overall pregnancy or just for turning babies, but you might want to ask how much experience they have with pregnant women, how many they have worked on and if you could get recommendations from them.

I need to go back, I started at 9 weeks and had to stop because his wife had a baby.

nothing special just make sure they deal with pregnant women regualry and make sure you are comfortable with them.

oh and no x-rays
