Payton came to us about midway through her pregnancy experiencing POTS symptoms. She had been experiencing the usual pregnancy pains and morning sickness and thought very little of it, until one day she fainted in the checkout line at the grocery store. She had no idea what to make of it, and came to us seeking help. After a thorough evaluation of her nervous system, we were able to identify that she was struggling with “dysautonomia”, or an imbalance between the unconscious “gas vs. brake” sides of the nervous system. This was causing her to struggle with regulating her blood pressure between sitting to standing, or when standing for long periods- especially now that her body is changing with the pregnancy.
This was a wake up call for her to take care of her health and her baby’s, so we began a course of chiropractic care combining Webster technique and upper cervical (C1-C2) techniques to help her regulate her nervous system while also optimizing her pelvis and sacrum to allow for optimal fetal positioning and the smoothest birth possible. Today, Payton and her baby are happy, healthy, and staying adjusted not only to maintain their wellness but to enhance their development and connection!
Testimonial: Dr. Faulkner is not only very knowledgeable and talented with his adjustments, but I feel very safe in his care. As a pregnant woman, I’ve experienced spells of fainting, severe low back pain, and pelvic pain. After seeing Dr. Faulkner, I have not fainted again and the pain has gone down tremendously. I highly recommend booking with Dr. Faulkner
