Chiropractic and Pregnancy

​Prenatal and postnatal care is extremely important for the health of an expectant mother and her child. Chiropractors are trained to work with women during their pregnancy. Some chiropractors even get advanced training in pregnancy. Chiropractic is extremely safe and can be used during pregnancy for great benefits.

Why Should I Get Chiropractic Care While I’m Pregnant?
A healthy mom is a healthy baby. To make your body as healthy as possible, good hip and spine alignment is crucial. A misaligned pelvis creates less room for the developing baby. This is called intrauterine constraint and properly aligning your pelvis combats this problem. In addition to aiding in the development, correctly aligned hips allow the baby to reach the optimal position for delivery.

What are the Benefits?
During pregnancy there is an increased amount of stress on the spine. This, in turn, creates neck and back pain. As you know, chiropractic is designed to relieve this type of pain, but that is not all the benefits available! Chiropractic during pregnancy can help reduce the time spent in labor and help the child to leave the birthing canal in the correct position. Morning sickness, though science has yet to identify exactly what causes morning sickness, can be combated by chiropractic care. Many women see a decrease in nausea when receiving chiropractic care in conjunction with simple home remedies.
