Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Did you know that chiropractic care has been shown to be beneficial during the different pregnancy stages?

During the pregnancy stages a women’s body goes through several physiological changes that naturally occur to prepare the body for the development of the baby and eventually the delivery of that baby.
 

Physiological Changes During Pregnancy

A Protruding Abdomen that Increases Back Curve (Lordosis)
Pelvic Imbalances
Postural Adaptations

During pregnancy the body tries to compensate and overachieve due to the physiological changes that it’s going through, and the most common change is postural imbalances in the body. For example, as mom’s belly keeps increasing with every trimester, that puts more weight and pressure on the low back, so the lumbar spine starts to compensate for this weight/change by increasing its lordotic curve. This will cause a chain of problems if not fixed, like low back pain that could eventually lead to hip, knee and feet pain due to postural adaptations and compensations the body performs to ease off some of the pain.

These changes can be fixed or even prevented in the early stages of pregnancy through chiropractic care. Through soft and subtle chiropractic techniques specialized for pregnant moms we can help treat and prevent these physiological changes in the body and provide the benefits that come with chiropractic care during the pregnancy.
