Pregnancy and the Body

Pregnancy causes many physical and neurological changes to the body. It causes changes in weight, posture, pelvic position, mobility, and musculoskeletal alignment. Changes in the body cause muscle strain, pain, impingement on the nerves, inflammation, and numbers in the arms and legs. Chiropractic care can help pregnant women manage these symptoms 

Safety of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Many expectant mothers worry about the safety of visiting a chiropractor while they are pregnant. Our chiropractors are trained to care for pregnant women, and there are no restrictions on receiving care while pregnant. There are several advantages to receiving chiropractic care that alleviates stress and prepares the body for delivery.  Our staff is certified in the Webster Technique, which is specifically created for use during pregnancy. Our treatments are designed to provide relief and not cause any additional stress to the body. 

Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy 

There are several benefits to prenatal chiropractic care. Women experience many physical changes during pregnancy that put pressure on the spine and pelvic joints. Pelvic misalignment can stop the baby from entering the correct position for birth. Other benefits include:

• Reduced labor time
• Less nausea and anxiety
• Muscle and joint pain relief
• Back and neck pain relief
• Improved sleep
• Decreased recovery time
• Decreased chance of Cesarean (C-section) delivery

You can receive chiropractic care during the entirety of your pregnancy. We will also recommend different exercises to keep your body in the best position for delivery. The frequency of care is different for each patient. Typically, during the third and first trimesters, we will recommend weekly sessions.
