Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy:

What Should You Know?

Pregnancy is a beautiful time. The human body can do incredible things. However, despite your excitement, pregnancy may also come with various aches and pains. As your baby grows, your body adjusts. Further, the uterus may come under stress due to subluxations or dysfunctions of the pelvis and spine. And as you move through your pregnancy, ligaments in the pelvis begin to relax as your body prepares for birth. Yet, this relaxation may cause further pelvis misalignments and problems. In turn, this may make labour difficult. Luckily, chiropractic care can help correct sacral subluxations and SI joint dysfunctions, making for a smoother and easier birth. In particular, the Webster Technique is a highly successful and renowned chiropractic method that helps realign the pelvis and help the baby move as it should.

The Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is very safe and highly effective. With regular adjustments throughout your pregnancy, the Webster Technique can ensure a safer and easier birth and pregnancy. This technique works to realign the sacrum, the bone structure at the base of the spine and back of the pelvis. This helps to relieve the tension and stress placed on the uterus. No forces are applied to the baby - the technique simply makes more room for the baby to move. It also allows for a better fetal position, which makes the birthing process easier for both mom and baby.

Choose Chiropractic Care Throughout Your Pregnancy

At Kawartha Care Wellness Centre, our team of chiropractors have their Webster Technique Certification. Allow us to help you through your pregnancy. Pain isn’t the norm -- nor should it be. Ensure you lead a safe and healthy pregnancy with the help of chiropractic care. Contact our centre today!

Nigerian family makes Lindsay their new home

JAMIE MORRIS Writer-at-large

From Lagos to Lindsay. From a city in Nigeria five times the size of Toronto to a town of some 21,000 souls. Quite a leap to jump an ocean and a continent, but Tobi and Francis Ogunnowo did so — and found welcoming arms.

Tobi and Francis, their then-seven-year-old daughter, Oreofe, and six-month-old son, Victor, arrived in Lindsay in May 2018. A week after coming to town, they started tackling the logistics of settling in.

While Francis arranged to open accounts for them at the TD bank, Tobi took a seat by the window and fed the baby spoonfuls of yogurt. Looking out she saw Income Tax Plus, and though casually dressed and yogurtsmeared, she headed over to enquire about volunteering.

After being warmly welcomed, she explained she was a newly-arrived immigrant from Nigeria, had an MBA and was a chartered professional accountant, and asked about volunteering. The woman she spoke to explained the business didn’t have any openings but began scratching out a list of places to try. Someone else chimed in, suggesting Ralston Evans, CPA.

A few minutes spent chatting, and Evans invited Tobi to submit a resumé. By the time Francis had to return to his banking job in Lagos two weeks later to complete a major project he had started there, Tobi had accepted a paid position in Ralston’s accountancy firm.

Tobi’s sister, a social worker, had come to Lindsay and had had good things to say. Tobi now had her own story. “If the people in a community are welcoming, you see the beauty” of that community.

Much of her work at Ralston Evans was for Pinnguaq, the innovative Lindsay not-for-profit tech organization that at the time was housed in the same building. A year ago, she became Pinnguaq’s junior finance officer and is now acting manager of finance. (“We stole Tobi — with permission,” says Ryan Oliver of Pinnguaq.)

This February, Francis rejoined Tobi and their children. They say it is good to be together again and though job prospects for Francis — who has an MSc in finance and is a certified information systems auditor — have been hampered by COVID-19, he looks forward to an opportunity and to contributing to the community.

All this Tobi and Francis, Victor in his lap, share over cold drinks (at a distance, of course) on my back deck. But I also want to hear about their homeland. They came here for the greater opportunities Canada provided, but have an abiding attachment to Nigeria and pride in their Nigerian roots.

They speak of the Nigerian people with affection and pride. “We have three major tribes,” says Francis, “but then branches of each of those, each with their own language or dialect.”

“We are a hard-working, intelligent people and have a strong education system,” adds Tobi.

And Nigerian culture? Tobi describes lively gatherings full of music and colour and shows me a photo of herself in a wedding party: she and two other women in bright-red beaded robes, abundant jewelry and head ties known as geles.

The Ogunnowos have been welcomed to Canada. Francis says once COVID-19 relaxes its grip, we should visit Nigeria and experience a Nigerian welcome. “You will be wowed,” he tells me, with “sunshine, beaches and fish straight from the ocean, tourist attractions such as Obudu Cattle Ranch and Olumo Rock.” I can only imagine.
