Chiropractic and Pregnancy

Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential ingredient to your prenatal care choices.  Many pregnant women experience back discomfort and pain during pregnancy.  This is due to the rapid growth of the baby and interference to your body’s normal structural adaptations to that growth.

Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy.  Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses in your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and lifestyle improvements.

As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth.  So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus.  If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torque and twisted, causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus.  This constraint limits the space of the developing baby.  Any compromised position for the baby throughout pregnancy will affect his or her optimal development.
