Location: The best kept secret in TX | KylaKris - 2015-03-04 9:32 AM Thanks for reminding me to make an appointment!
I go about once a month, mainly for my SI joint and my neck but on occassion I have other things that need worked on. I love going and would/should probably go more often, but my insurance only covers 12 visits per year and I really don't want to pay full price unless I absolutely have to. I am 25 weeks pregnant now and going monthly helps my hips so much. I also took my daughter when she was first born and it is amazing how much it helped her with colic.
This is a little OT, but if you can find alkaline water start drinking some now. My chiro recommended it to me. He said that babies most times are born with more acid stomachs and the alkaline water really helps balance that out. I started drinking it myself towards the end of my pregnancy and through nursing and later mixed her formula when I couldn't nurse anymore. You will be surprised how much more comfortable they are.
I'll have to ask about that at my next visit with my Midwife. Sounds really interesting!
The Chiro here charges $25/Adjustment for pregnant women as long as you schedule and keep at least 5 appointments with him... Which I will since my Midwife suggested I go regularly. Just gotta figure out what "regular" appointments are LOL
What does yours charge? |

Oh wow!
(A massage sounds nice if I could get over being naked and oiled down by someone I've never met LOL)
Guess I'm getting out cheap?
Or should that scare me more? Bahahaha |

Location: Idahome | With my insurance, I pay $11 each visit. I have decided to treat myself to a monthly maternity massage as well for these last few months. All of these things may not last super long during pregnancy, but if I can get a little relief for a few days and maybe get some better sleep I will be happy. My massages are $60 for 1 hour. |

Yep, I'd pass out...  well it does hurt, it burns like a sob especially when he moves the needles..........and im a bad chiro patient i stiffen up...lol m
It shouldn't burn. I would venture to guess it isn't being done properly or you are having some kind of reaction to the needle. Now that said, I tell people chiro, massage, accupuncture will likely hurt if you are not in pain, but if you are in pain it should provide relief. Also, not every chiro, massage therapist, or accupuncturist is right for you. Some people will rave about someone only for others to find no relief with that particular person. There will be sometimes a hurt so good feeling for a brief moment until everything relaxes, but shouldn't last longer than just a blink or two. You have to relax and be open to it to get the relief as well. If you are too tense, it will do no good.
