Pregnancy / Prenatal Chiropractor in Westfield, NJ
Dr. Todd Carnucci: Westfield Health & Rehabilitation
Chiropractic care promotes a more comfortable pregnancy:
Pregnancy Chiropractor in Westfield, NJ: During pregnancy, the body goes through amazing changes. With the spine, pelvis and other parts of the body moving around during every stage of a pregnancy, misalignments can occur, causing disorders that can affect the nerves, muscles or organs.
With the body changing drastically, the spinal column itself moves to accommodate a child and the extra weight. The pelvis undergoes many changes to compensate for the growing baby as well. Risk of misalignments and interference of the nervous system can increase as pregnancy continues. The pelvis supports the growing uterus with specific ligaments. If the bones of the pelvis are out of alignment, this will cause asymmetrical ligament support of the uterus. This results in a more difficult passage for the baby during delivery.
These structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord, disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Dr. Carnucci can adjust a spine and extremities to help the body feel relaxed and subside pain or soreness.
Benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Possibly decrease labor times
- Aid in VBAC
- Help reduce or eliminate restless leg
- Decreased lower back pain
- Reduce or eliminate headaches
- Reduction of nerve pain
- Decreases joint pain
Experience pregnancy with natural chiropractic treatments:
During a pregnancy, going to Dr. Carnucci will help to formulate a specific solution to target the problem areas at every stage. Having regular chiropractic care during a pregnancy can reveal important information regarding a person’s overall heath and provide a base for an effective course of action during a pregnancy.
Chiropractic care has been shown to decrease labor time, reduce the need for pain medications, and may even reduce the possibility of post-partum. Those who are pregnant come to chiropractors with problems such as heartburn, morning sickness, low back pain, breech babies, sciatica, swollen ankles and feet, headaches, and constipation as well.
RockTape is another method used at Westfield Health & Rehabilitation to help ease the pain and stress of the pregnant body.

What Our Patients are Saying…
Dr. Todd helped me get through my first and only marathon. Not being a runner, he helped me with all of the aches and pains associated with the pounding on the back and joints!*
Ronald S.
I love this place. My family and I have been coming here since it opened. My husband has a bad back and he comes every time he has a problem, they are helpful and they have good hours. My son after a shoulder injury went to a orthopedic and somewhere else for PT, after 1 month with no improvement, we had to come here. They improved and strengthened his shoulder and made it ready for rowing season. I’ve come here with sciatica pain, gone is a couple of months. I’ve come here after a car accident. I’m recently coming for a bum knee and I need to get it in shape in order to hike the Grand Canyon for my 50th Birthday. Caring & effective. They don’t rush you, they take the time to understand where your pain is and they treat it. Love it.*

Westfield Health & Rehabilitation is the best multifaceted center I have ever been to! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You definitely get the feeling that Dr. Carnucci and his staff personally care about your wellbeing. I highly recommend W H&R for anything from minor aches and pains to post-surgical rehab!*
Alan P.
let me give a HUGE thankful wave of gratitude for Westfield Health and Rehabilitation!! Shana my acupuncturist , after 5 awful years of being in pain with injuries and crazy new symptoms , tons of nerve burns, minor surgeries, useless highly addictive pain meds with terrible side effects, painful PT and all things unsuccessful, acupuncture has improved my life dramatically!
Shana is highly knowledgeable , well trained , excellent at what she does. She also is stellar with her bedside manner, actually everyone there is! To find a health practitioner that actually listens and is genuinely concerned about your quality of life in itself is priceless and makes a HUGE difference. By recommending homeopathic treatments, giving me the information to also add amino acids and other vitamins to my daily regimen is so beneficial. I notice small improvements. While I still have bad days, they haven’t been as debilitating as I have had in the past! So a huge THANK you for changing and improving the quality of my life!*

Michele B.
Dr. Todd & his staff are the best! As an RN for nearly 40 years, I am very selective in who I trust my healthcare to. Dr. Todd’s staff are friendly, professional, & all work together as a great team. The energy in his practice is exceedingly positive, which promotes healing. I have received chiropractic care, PT, & acupuncture. I no longer get headaches since starting chiropractic care with him. His modalities have helped heal low back pain & various injuries. I highly recommend his practice to everyone I know!*
