Pregnancy & Chiropractic

How can chiropractic add comfort?

Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential choice in your prenatal care. During pregnancy, there are several physiological and hormonal changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. When the pelvis is misaligned it may create back pain and postural imbalances, as well as reducing the amount of room available for the baby. The restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include; maintaining a healthier pregnancy, reducing time of labor and delivery, relieving back, neck, and joint pain, controlling nausea, and preventing a C-Section. Modified techniques are used for the pregnant woman to avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen.
