Sciatica leg pain is a common complaint in pregnant women.  Sciatica commonly interferes with the ability to walk and sleep.  But it doesn’t have to be something that a pregnant woman has to deal with throughout pregnancy.  There is a natural way to get pain relief.  This painful problem can often times be relieved by a chiropractor who uses the Webster Technique. 

Here is the full transcript of our new YouTube video about the chiropractic Webster Technique.  It discusses how regular chiropractic care can ensure a safer, shorter, less painful labor and delivery.  You can find the video on our Webster Technique page.

This is a review that Sleigh Family Chiropractic received online:

Dr. Katie and Dr. Quint are extremely knowledgable. I have been to several chiropractors in my life, and I can promise that you would be hard pressed to find someone as good as they are. They not only provide chiropractic adjustments, but they also educate on best practices for overall health. They truly care about the patient and their family. My 2 year old daughter loves getting her adjustments (for allergies as well as everyday bumps and falls) and even pretends to be "Dr. Katie". I see Dr. Katie for pregnancy related symptoms and she is so helpful. I highly recommend them both

Here is the full transcript of our new You Tube video of a second exercise to help women prevent and avoid breech positioning of their baby.

Ear infections are common in many children and can be extremely painful for many children.  Antibiotics are the conventional treatment for ear infections.  However, research now shows antibiotic treatment is often times no more effective than the child’s own immune system.  Gentle pediatric chiropractic adjustments may help many, many kids get relief from ear infections without the use of medications or surgery.  Since no parent wants to see their child suffer, we suggest you check out this video clip with a parental testimonial.

Full transcript from presentation follows. Hello and welcome.  I am Dr. Katie Sleigh with Sleigh Family Chiropractic.  Today I would like to introduce all pregnant women to an exercise to try to prevent and avoid breech presentation of their babies.  It is called the breech tilt positioning exercise.  As always, it important for you to check with your doctor before starting any new exercise to make sure that it is safe for you. 

In preparation for birth, the baby should turn to the vertex or head down position a few weeks prior to delivery.  If the baby remains in the head up position, it is termed breech.  Breech positioning may increase the risks of complications during delivery.  There are also abnormal stressors on the baby’s body while in the uterus when the baby is not in the vertex position after then.  There are many options, both invasive and non-invasive, available for moms to help achieve the head down position for her baby.
