Prenatal and Pediatric Care from Your Chiropractor

Many people do not know about the pediatric and prenatal care that your chiropractor can provide for you and your family. Visiting a chiropractor is something anyone who is expecting children should consider, and is also a great way to treat children as well. Shapiro Family Chiropractic offers high quality chiropractic care in Hendersonville and Gallatin, TN, areas. 

Benefits of Prenatal Care

Expectant mothers can experience discomfort and pain during all stages of pregnancy, including before, after, and during the birth. Using chiropractic care to help alleviate these symptoms is considered a part of pregnancy wellness. At Shapiro Family Chiropractic, we offer expertise in the area of prenatal chiropractic care, applying chiropractic methods while avoiding unnecessary pressure on the abdomen. 

Some of the conditions that can result from pregnancy include pelvic changes, increased back curve, protruding abdomen, and postural adaptations. A misalignment of the pelvis could potentially mean that the baby has less room to develop. Another potential problem that can result from a misaligned pelvis is that it can make it harder for the baby to achieve the best possible position before the delivery. Chiropractic treatment helps maintain pelvis balance and alignment. 

Prenatal chiropractic care has a wide range of benefits for a pregnant woman, such as helping to control nausea symptoms, reducing the needs for a cesarean delivery, helping to keep the pregnancy healthy, and lessening the time needed for labor and delivery of a baby.

Benefits of Pediatric Care 

Children can also benefit from trips to the chiropractor, and the ailments that respond to pediatric care are long and wide ranging. These include asthma, earache and ear infections, ADD, ADHD, upper respiratory infections, neck pain, falls, sports injuries, headaches, migraines, colic, and general health and wellness, including "growing pains." Pediatric care can including several types of treatment, including chiropractic care, injury recovery and rehabilitation, and massage therapy. Pediatric chiropractic care is a natural, holistic, and drug-free method of treating your child's ailments.
