Birth & Beyond: Expecting Parent Workshop
We invite you to attend our Birth & Beyond workshop on Saturday, February 15, 2025 at 9:00am. Learn more about Nurturing your Nervous System from Preconception to Pregnancy, Postpartum to Parenthood.
Avoid Prenatal Stress with a Regulated Nervous System
-
Hormonal Changes
Prenatal stress activates the body's stress response, releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. A balanced nervous system and regulated hormones help both mom and baby grow in health. We aim to bring balance to your body so the season to and through pregnancy is most joyful.
-
Immune System Health
The nervous system controls and coordinates all other body systems—cardiovascular, respiratory, and, yes, immune system; prolonged stress can hinder all functions. When demands are already so high on an expectant mother’s body, strengthening her nervous system is imperative.
-
Baby's Neurological Development
Your developing baby is sensitive to the hormonal changes associated with maternal stress. Prenatal stress influences the development of the infant brain and nervous system. We support both mom and baby to allow for optimal comfort, adequate rest, and overall decreased stress to mom and baby.
And Instead Experience…
Better hormonal regulation
Improved blood pressure and breathing regulation
Stronger immune response
Improved emotional regulation and stress response
Better sleep and improved energy
Optimal positioning for your baby
Hi Mamas,
As specialists in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care, we’ve had the honor and privilege of caring for countless pregnant moms and new moms in our community since we opened our doors in 2018. There's one thing we know for sure: there is NO one perfect pregnancy and delivery that fits everyone.
In fact, planning for the perfect pregnancy and delivery means planning for the imperfect moments and the bumps in the road! This is exactly why we’re excited for you to join us to learn HOW to design your perfect pregnancy and delivery and what to do if things don't go quite as planned.
We also know that many moms-to-be (and dads) don't realize how MANY CHOICES you have when it comes to your care, support and steps to achieving your perfect pregnancy (whatever that may be!).
Hear from our very own prenatal specialist, Dr. Jordan Carroll of Invictus Chiropractic and birth expert, Jaelin Stickles, certified nurse midwife, of Holistic Heritage Homebirth. Together, they’ll provide resources and information to empower you as you navigate this very exciting season of life!
We will treat you to appetizers, beverages and connection with like-minded families and providers. After you've filled your cup, we will dive in to show you options for your pregnancy that you may not have ever discovered!
You do NOT have to struggle through... uncomfortable digestion, swelling, overwhelming fatigue, low back/pelvic pain, or lack of sleep.
Of course, if you have personal questions about your pregnancy (sleep, mood, pain, birth plans, etc...) the Invictus Care Team will be ready to HELP YOU! We can't wait to raise our mocktail glass with you and celebrate your growing family!!!
See You Soon,
Team Invictus
Heather initially sought care during her first pregnancy due to a breech baby. She discovered the Webster method, a specialized technique that helped her baby move into the optimal position. But that was just the beginning. Heather found that chiropractic care alleviated other pregnancy discomforts and she continued care through her second pregnancy and postpartum.
Heather's experience with Invictus Chiropractic has been remarkable:
-First pregnancy: Baby's breech position corrected, discomforts soothed
-Postpartum: Adjustments eased recovery and breastfeeding challenges
-Daughter's care: Relieved gasiness and mobility issues
-Second pregnancy: Optimal fetal development and growth
-Second delivery: Smooth and complication-free
-Postpartum care: Enhanced recovery and well-being for both mom and baby
The entire family has benefited from chiropractic care: Fewer illnesses, less severe symptoms, improved mood regulation, and enhanced mobility and function. Thank you, Heather, Colbie, and Rylie, for trusting Invictus Chiropractic and embracing the power of chiropractic care.
"Knowing baby had plenty of time to move, baby’s booty-down positioning was of no concern, but, as I came to and surpassed 34, then 35, and 36 weeks, I became more stressed about her breech positioning and the potential implications it could have on delivery. While I was regularly being adjusted and felt great, I started to recognize imbalances I was creating through sleep and exercise patterns that may have been inhibiting baby girl from turning head down.
Dr. Jordan helped coach me through exercises and stretches that would help create bilateral balance in my movement and rest patterns. At 34 weeks, he made a plan to increase the frequency of my adjustments and also provided me with strategies for encouraging baby to turn. Most appreciated, he consistently reminded me to trust in God’s design for my body and baby girl and to surrender to His plan. Jordan celebrated me for the way I was caring for my body while also helping me recognize that baby may prefer her positioning for a reason outside of my understanding or control; he encouraged me to find peace of mind with prayer and breath-work.
As 37.5 weeks, I cried when my midwives confirmed baby girl had moved into optimal positioning for birth!
I continued to be adjusted in hopes of maintaining that perfect positioning and things progressed over the next two weeks! Her labor was physically demanding, but because I was able to maintain a regular workout routine throughout my entire pregnancy (thanks to chiropractic), I was ready for it. Before we knew it, we received baby girl Earthside (head first!!) in the peace of our home. She was adjusted shortly after birth to help ensure her comfort and encourage a healthy latch to grow and bond.
As I navigate this postpartum season, being adjusted is my go-to for maximizing feeling great and functioning well. So many changes are taking place in the fourth trimester physically, hormonally, digestively, and more, and I’m grateful for Jordan’s knowledge and craft. Jordan—as both husband and provider—loved, supported, and cared for me so that I could love, support, and care for baby!
Faith initially sought care at Invictus struggling with irregular cycles caused by PCOS. For months, she hadn't had a period, and her hormonal balance was severely impacted. After just four weeks of neurologically focused chiropractic care, Faith's body began to heal and regulate. She started her period, marking a significant milestone in her journey.
The results are impressive:
-Normal 5-day bleed, a welcome change from her typically irregular cycles
-No spotting after her period, a breakthrough for Faith
-Reduced pain after workouts, allowing her to push herself further
-Quicker recovery times, empowering her to take on each day
-Decreased anxiety, leading to a more balanced mental state
-Improved mood, radiating positivity and confidence
-Enhanced sleep quality, essential for overall well-being
Faith's story showcases the power of addressing underlying health issues through neurologically focused chiropractic care. At Invictus Chiropractic, we're honored to support Faith and countless others on their paths to optimal wellness.
