'Labor Induction'
Note: The services that we provide in our office are non-medical, and non-invasive and are not meant to actively or directly 'induce' labor, which is an obstetric procedure. We use a combination of chiropractic and massage to ease the tension in stiff pelvic muscles and restore movement to restricted pelvic bones in order to try and minimize resistance to the baby's natural ability to drop down against the cervix, which naturally causes the onset of labor. We also utilize Chinese medicine with a great degree of success. While we frequently get panicky calls for patients wanting to be squeezed into the schedule at the last minute, we strongly recommend starting the labor preparation techniques at least four weeks prior to your due date. For more information, please call our office (323) 549-0070.
Case: Sikle was three days past her due date with her first baby and not showing any signs of labor. Her doctor was pressuring her to 'strip her membranes' and induce within the next few days. She called us on the morning of the 17th desperately looking for ways to get labor started naturally. We were able to squeeze Silke into the schedule for Chiropractic, Massage and Acupuncture that same day.
