Throughout pregnancy, expecting mothers have many health matters to pay close attention to. Not only do you need to prepare your body for delivery, but you need to be sure you are doing everything you can to help your growing baby develop properly. Focusing on OB appointments, diet, and exercise is crucial, but remembering you visit your chiropractor is important, too!
Chiropractic services offer many benefits for pregnant women, including a smoother delivery. When your spine is out of alignment, the rest of your body will be too. Your nervous system relies upon your spinal cord to send messages from your brain to the rest of your body. If your spine is misaligned and cutting off the nerve supply to certain areas of your body or pinching a nerve, issues will occur. Many of our patients experience secondary conditions that, unknown to them, could be fixed with a simple adjustment.
Ease Discomfort During Pregnancy
Our experienced chiropractors take each patient’s unique needs into consideration and adjust care based on those needs. Because of this training, we can effectively and safely provide chiropractic care to pregnant women.
As your pregnancy progresses, your body weight will increase as your baby continues to grow. Not only is your body supporting your own increased weight, but also that of a growing six or seven-pound fetus. This weight puts extra stress on the spine which leads to back pain, balance issues, and poor posture. Additionally, your protruding abdomen leads to an increased back curve, pelvic changes, and altered posture. To accommodate these changes and ensure your body stays in proper alignment, our chiropractic services will keep you healthy and comfortable.
