Pregnancy
Because of the additional weight and stress on the framework of the body in pregnant women, chiropractic adjustments can help lower the incidence of pain in the low back and legs, and between the shoulder blades. In some cases, fewer headaches and problems with nausea and elimination may also result. Many chiropractors care for expectant mothers in the regular course of their daily practices.
Most importantly is that chiropractic helps the expecting mother by improving nerve system function. Chiropractic has been based for over 100 years on correcting interference to the nervous system known as subluxations. With a properly functioning nerve system free of subluxations it is easy to see how many aspects of this important time for an expectant mother will be made easier. Many women rely on chiropractic care as a regular part of their pre-natal routine.
Safe Treatment
Chiropractic's gentle, drug-free approach is especially beneficial during pregnancy. And seeing other health care providers is not a problem. Many women continue chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy in additions to seeing other health care providers.
In fact, chiropractic treatment is so safe that some women have received chiropractic care during labor!
Post Partum
Spinal care can help the post-partum woman return to pre-pregnancy normalcy by balancing her spinal column, realigning her pelvic bones and removing vertebral subluxations.
