At Chanhassen Wellness Chiropractic in Chanhassen, MN, Dr. Michael Kennedy provides prenatal care for patients throughout their pregnancy. With the right support in place, you can have a healthier pregnancy with less pregnancy-related pain. A growing baby puts significant pressure on your pelvis and lower back, causing strain as you try to move around. A chiropractor can provide pregnancy care to help strengthen your muscles and adjust your spine if it goes out of alignment. Prenatal care with a chiropractor is a safe way to deal with pain and manage your overall wellness as you go through your pregnancy.
What are Prenatal Adjustments?
As your body changes throughout your pregnancy, chiropractic adjustments will help optimize your health. Chiropractic adjustments are safe when you are pregnant, and our chiropractor will use specialized pillows and techniques to keep your baby safe. Chiropractic adjustments can be used to get the pelvis properly aligned, and supportive therapies will address any areas where you have pain. Our chiropractor can use a small hand-held device called an activator, which proves targeted, gentle spinal adjustments throughout your spine.
What Can I Expect from Prenatal Care With a Chiropractor?
Pregnancy care involves providing chiropractic adjustments, hot or cold therapy, massage, ultrasound, soft tissue mobilization, and other therapies to address tight muscles. If you are having problems with your pelvis, you may be taught strengthening exercises to help ease your pain and improve the health of your pelvis.
When Should I See a Chiropractor While Pregnant?
You can work with a chiropractor throughout your pregnancy. Whether you want to be proactive and focus on your wellness, or you are in pain and looking for natural pain relief, it's never the wrong time to see a chiropractor for prenatal care. You can see the chiropractor several times a week, or go in once a week for an adjustment. Chiropractic care is a safe pain management therapy and can be combined with other treatments to guide you through a healthy pregnancy.
