What to Expect
Your first pregnancy visit at Advanced Health Chiropractic is about understanding you and your baby. We will ask questions about the pregnancy so far, your goals and wishes through this time, birth plans, as well as general history and wellbeing. Our INSiGHT scanning technology is non-invasive and will allow us to evaluate your nervous system function at this point, so that we can create the best plan for you going forward.
On your second visit, we will go through your report, any areas of note, and what your care plan will look like throughout the pregnancy. We will regularly evaluate your progress and state of health throughout your care to ensure that your visits are well matched to your lifestyle. You will receive your first adjustment on this visit and a schedule going forward.
