How can chiropractic care help during pregnancy?
The 40 weeks of pregnancy are a special time of anticipation and preparation. Eating healthy foods, taking vitamin supplements, getting adequate rest, and regular checkups all help to promote a healthy pregnancy and smooth delivery.
What many women do not know is that being under the care of a chiropractic physician certified in the treatment of pregnant women may also be beneficial during this time. As the body changes, pregnancy weight gain and other factors can put pressure on the spinal column causing pain or discomfort. Additionally, misalignment in the pelvic region may cause surrounding muscles and ligaments to tighten or spasm, also resulting in pain, discomfort and the possibility of intrauterine constraint. While a chiropractic physician can never replace an obstetrician or a midwife, a specially trained chiropractor can work in tandem to reduce stress on the body in order to achieve and maintain a healthy pregnancy, and promote a safer, easier delivery.
Pregnancy related conditions include:
- breech position
- sciatica
- low back pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- difficulty sleeping
- balance difficulties
Is chiropractic care beneficial for your baby-to-be?
When they say healthy mom, healthy baby they are right. Mother and child can both receive maximum advantage from our cutting-edge prenatal chiropractic care. The healthier a mom is during her pregnancy, the healthier her baby will be. The stronger the mom’s immune system will be, the stronger the baby’s immune system will be at birth.
Babies also will be able to have more space to maneuver around through the development process. When moms get adjusted through pregnancy, doing so also helps the neurological development and growth of their baby and helps the baby to get into the head-down position for delivery.
