While pregnancy is a beautiful time for moms-to-be, it’s frequently accompanied by discomfort, which can detract from enjoying the journey. Chiropractic has been proven to have many benefits for pain, joint function, and overall health and wellness. During pregnancy, many of these benefits continue while supporting the safe growth and development of the baby. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy may also facilitate a quicker, more comfortable, intervention-free delivery.
Did you know The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association currently recommends women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy? Receiving chiropractic for the duration of pregnancy helps to establish pelvic balance and optimize the room a baby has for development throughout the prenatal period.
Why Get Prenatal Chiropractic?
Hormonal changes in the body affect laxity in ligaments and can affect joint mobility and function. Moreover, changes in biomechanics and moment patterns can cause discomfort. Pain can result from an increased load in the pelvis.
Here are some benefits of prenatal chiropractic care:
- Pain relief
- Improved sleep
- Reduced labor times
- Provides more room for the baby to grow and move freely
- Encourages the baby to get into the ideal position for birth
- Increased energy levels
