You may not think that chiropractic would be a good fit during pregnancy, but there is in fact a lot that chiropractic can help with during pregnancy. Chiropractic is perfectly safe treatment during pregnancy when administered by a trained chiropractor. In addition to keeping your body properly aligned chiropractors will also be able to recommend exercises and stretches that are safe to do during pregnancy and will help to keep the body in proper alignment. During pregnancy there are several changes to the body that can result in misalignment. These changes include a protruding abdomen and increased back curve, changes in the pelvis, and changes in posture. Treatment from a chiropractor adjusts these misalignments and helps the body function as intended during pregnancy. Staying in proper alignment during pregnancy can also have additional benefits.
Chiropractic can help to reduce “common” symptoms of pregnancy such as:
- Back Pain
- Morning Sickness
- Sciatica
Chiropractic also carries benefits such as:
- Increasing the likelihood of a full-term delivery
- Reducing the time of labor and delivery
- Reducing the risk of potentially having to perform a c-section
