Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
The female body goes through immense changes during pregnancy! (it is literally growing another human!) While this is an amazing skill, it can create pain and discomfort for women. For those who have had children or are currently pregnant, you have probably felt some of the pains we are referring to. While each pregnancy is different, the main complaints from most mom’s are back pain and pelvic pain.
How can chiropractic alleviate back pain and pelvic pain for expecting moms?
First off, these pains come from the change in spinal curvature, due to the growing belly. Nerve interferences occur when the curvature of the spine changes, leading to aches and pains.
Chiropractic adjustments are safe, gentle and effective. The adjustments help to put the spine into a better position, leading to relief. (not to mention they position the baby better!)When the spine is in the correct position, it will not be putting pressure on your nerves.
Pelvic pain can occur for a multitude of reasons. The ligaments that support the uterus are stretched during pregnancy, due to the weight of the baby. Webster’s Technique is used to help stretch these ligaments, making room for baby, and making mom feel better!
Chiropractic adjustments are also shown to help with lowered birthing time! This is one of the most attractive elements of coming to the chiropractor during pregnancy!
