North Carolina.  

She works with midwives,
doulas and childbirth
educators in the community

Dr. Nicole treating a pregnant patient.
During pregnancy, a woman should have the best
of everything for her baby and herself.  Adding
chiropractic  care to your prenatal care regimen
helps to prepare your body for the safest, most
comfortable birth possible.

A body that is balanced and aligned allows the baby
a more direct path through the birth canal and can
minimize complications.  In fact, research showed
that mothers under chiropractic care during
pregnancy have an average of 4 hours shorter labor
than women not under chiropractic care – wow!

Advanced Spinal Fitness is the best place in the
Lake Norman area, and one of the best in the state,
for pregnancy chiropractic care.  Many chiropractors
take care of pregnant women, but not many have
special equipment, skills and education to most
comfortably and safely accommodate the needs of a
pregnant body.  Pregnant patients are common at
ASF, not an exception.

ASF is a recognized part of the local prenatal
community, and mothers are regularly referred
from area Ob/Gyns, Pediatricians, Doulas and Birth
Educators.  

Dr. Nicole Whitehead authored an article on the
Webster Technique and its role in minimizing
breech presentations.  She is only 1 of 7
chiropractors in North Carolina certified in
pediatrics and prenatal chiropractic by the Academy
of Chiropractic Family Practice.
