Pregnancy is an incredibly exciting time where many wonderful things are happening. But between caring for your growing baby, yourself, and keeping track of doctor’s appointments, chiropractic sometimes falls to the wayside. But did you know chiropractic adjustments are a great way to support a pregnant woman’s changing body and help prepare for upcoming delivery? Here is why we suggest chiropractic care for pregnant women.
1. AN OPTIMALLY FUNCTIONING NERVOUS SYSTEM LEADS TO AN OPTIMAL BIRTH
When the spine is in proper alignment, the entire nervous system functions at its best. As your body changes during pregnancy, your spine and hips will shift to accommodate the added stress put on your body by your growing baby. Regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy allow your body to function optimally.
2. PREGNANCY PAIN RELIEF
The pains you feel during pregnancy are well worth it for your little one, but that’s no reason to suffer unnecessarily. Back pain, muscle discomfort, and joint pain are all very common symptoms of pregnancy and are mostly due to the stress caused by the weight of your growing baby. Fortunately, chiropractic adjustments are a gentle, safe, and effective tool for relieving pains throughout your entire pregnancy.
3. PROPER PELVIC ALIGNMENT
Because we create unique treatment plans for each of our patient’s specific needs, we know that when treating pregnant women, we need to focus on ensuring proper pelvic positioning. A misaligned pelvis can limit the space available for your developing baby and also leads to poor posture, which causes body aches.
4. AN EASY DELIVERY
Every mom-to-be wishes for a quick and easy delivery. When the pelvis is misaligned, it can make the birthing process much more difficult than it needs to be. For mothers aiming for a natural and non-invasive birth, chiropractic care is a given!
