The Intersection of Chiropractic and Maternal Health with Dr. Marlee Coleman | Mental
In this fascinating episode of Mental, host Corey Schonhorst sits down with Dr. Marlee Coleman, a chiropractor with a unique specialization in prenatal and maternal care. Dr. Coleman shares her journey into chiropractic, inspired by her personal experience with sports-related injuries during her teenage years. Frustrated with traditional approaches to her chronic shin splints, she discovered chiropractic care and was amazed by its holistic, non-invasive methods that enabled her body to heal itself.
Initially interested in working with athletes, Dr. Coleman shifted her focus after attending her goddaughter's birth, an experience that inspired her to become a doula. She discusses the profound connection between chiropractic care and pregnancy, highlighting how chiropractic adjustments can alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort and prepare the body for labor and delivery.
Dr. Coleman emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach during pregnancy, including proper diet, exercise, and mental preparation, likening birth to running a marathon that requires endurance and strength. She also explores how chiropractic care can improve breathing and relaxation, aiding in both physical and emotional well-being during pregnancy.
