Why See a Chiropractor While Pregnant
Benefits of Chiropractic Care during Pregnancy
Our office has had tremendous success helping women achieve a healthy, natural pregnancy and delivery. For most women, Chiropractic care is becoming an important part of the birth preparation. Women are realizing the benefits of regular chiropractic adjustments in reducing stress and discomfort while simultaneously increasing stamina and mobility. Chiropractic care is known to help a woman maintain an overall healthier pregnancy, control the symptoms of nausea, reduce the time of labor and delivery, prevent a potential cesarean delivery, and relieve back, neck or joint pain caused by pregnancy. There are also known benefits for the developing baby if a mother gets adjusted during her pregnancy. The bottom line is that women should get checked during pregnancy because the spine changes! During pregnancy hormones help shift the alignment and presentation of the pelvis and spine. While this is incredibly beneficial during birth, it can be stressful and uncomfortable if the integrity of the alignment of the mother's joints is not checked and corrected frequently while pregnant.
Chiropractic during Pregnancy is SAFE! Some women question whether chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. The answer is absolutely YES! In fact, the ICPA recommends that a woman seek chiropractic care before and during her pregnancy.
