Chiropractic Care and Pregnancy

Can Chiropractic Help with Pregnancy?

 

The answer is Yes – in fact, more and more
pregnant women are turning to chiropractors
to help them be more comfortable during their
pregnancy.

A pregnant woman’s body undergoes many
changes as the baby she’s carrying grows and
develops.

Because of this added weight and
stress, it’s not uncommon for an expectant
mother to suffer from spinal misalignment due to the enlarged abdomen, changes in posture and the pelvic region.

Because of these changes, many pregnant women will develop chronic lower back pain throughout their pregnancy.

Most chiropractors are trained in how to treat a pregnant woman so the entire process is generally safe. In fact, some obstetricians will encourage a woman who is getting close to her delivery date to see a chiropractor because it will benefit them in a variety of ways such as:

• It helps provide an overall healthier pregnancy
• It helps relieve the pain experienced in the back, neck and joints
• It helps reduce the need for a caesarean section
• It helps with pain management during labor and delivery

Another point to consider when deciding if you want to see a chiropractor during your pregnancy is that the when the body undergoes a stressful or traumatic situation as it does in child birth, it can lose its balance and ability to cope in certain situations. For example, woman who need to undergo a caesarean section often need to do so because of the body’s inability to deal with the stress put on the body by delivery.

The need for a caesarean also comes from the misalignment of the pelvic area which can slow down the fetus’ journey into the birth canal. A visit to your chiropractor can help with this misalignment and thus possibly prevent the need for a further invasive procedure.

As you can see, even during pregnancy, your chiropractor can help with different areas to help your pregnancy progress without incident.
