Why Should I Have Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

The symptoms of Lower back pain, pubic pain and reflux are the most common complaints from pregnant women. During pregnancy, there are a number of physiological and hormonal changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby.

The following are changes to the women that can occur and result in a misaligned spine or joint:

• Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
• Pelvic changes
• Postural adaptations
• Hormonal changes
• Ligament strain

Why Should You Come & See Us?

Establishing good pelvic balance and alignment is key reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned or unbalanced it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint. Misalignment of the pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

Due to the nervous system being the master communication system to all the body systems, including the reproductive system, maintaining or improving spinal aligned will help the entire body work more effectively.

PREGNANCY ARTICLE

The basic principles of chiropractic teach us that we are all individuals. Chiropractic care believes and trusts in the bodys ability to heal, repair, regenerate and express itself in its wholeness. Chiropractic also recognizes that as long as there is full communication between your brain and your body, this Intelligence will help you better adapt to the physical, chemical and mental stresses you face each day, heal from any damage done by stress beyond your ability to adapt, and continue to grow toward the full expression of your purpose and potential in life.

There are a number of benefits of chiropractic care for the pregnant women. Many women are turning to chiropractic care from the very beginning- preconception and utilizing chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy. Chiropractic care is a natural, drug free way to help women improve pelvic balance and alignment. Lower back pain, sciatica, pubic pain, pelvic floor weakness are among some of the common complaints that women have during their pregnancies.

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has published research that supports good pelvic alignment; balance and stability can decrease the incidence of interventions used at birth. Misalignment of the pelvis can reduce the babys ability to shift into an optimal position. Improving pelvis balance and stability decreases the amount of stress placed on the uterus which is good for both mum and bub.
