Pregnancy and Chiropractic Care
As mothers look for natural pregnancy options chiropractic care is often a part of the discussion. Chiropractic care can provide significant advantages to the mother and baby.
In this article, we’re going to discuss the benefits and safety of chiropractic care during pregnancy. We hope it helps to guide you on your path.
Let’s talk about safety first…
According to the American Pregnancy Association, there are “no known contraindications to chiropractic care during pregnancy.” They go on to say…” All chiropractors are trained to work with women who are pregnant.”
Not all chiropractors are the same. There are different specialties in the profession and some chiropractors have more training in pregnancy care than others. It’s important to do your homework and speak with your chiropractor to make the best decision for yourself.
What are the potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?
- Improving nausea
- Reducing the time of labor and delivery
- Relief of back pain
- Relief of hip pain
- And more
Pregnancy puts a lot of stress on the mother’s body. Having a protruding abdomen can increase the lumbar curve further straining the joints and discs in that area. Along with that there are postural and pelvic changes that can occur.
Our bodies are amazing, but problems can occur when we have nerve pressure. Misaligned joints can cause swelling and inflammation to develop around our nerves.
When labor begins that’s an entire cascade of events that need to happen in coordination. During that time, you want your body to function as close to 100% as possible. Chiropractic care can make a real difference.
