Prenatal Chiropractic Care Specialist

Pregnancy is the most beautiful, the most crucial time of a woman’s life, and the most challenging phase. Many changes occur in a woman’s body during pregnancy to provide a growing fetus safe and healthy environment. The hormonal changes, as the baby grows, act to loosen the joints and ligaments. As a result, various problems can occur in pregnant women and produce many uncomfortable symptoms. Find out how to take care of these problems naturally with Chiropractor’s help.

Back Pain Treatment during Pregnancy

The baby’s advancing gestational age and its inappropriate position can induce pregnancy complications, including the discomfort. To minimize these complications, women need to find some additional help. That help can come in the form of chiropractic care. According to NCBI study, 50% of pregnant women have low back pain during pregnancy. In addition, chiropractic care for pregnancy can naturally decrease any risk of antepartum and postpartum complications without using drugs. Therefore, regular chiropractic care is an essential part of prenatal and postpartum care.

Morning sickness

Morning sickness is one of the most common complaints in the early trimester for most pregnant women. And for some, it isn’t easy to endure. Morning sickness rises as the level of beta HCG hormone goes up, which is essential for the survival of the placenta. Chiropractic care for pregnancy helps to reduce the symptoms of morning sickness. A chiropractor does it by realigning the spine to release the pressure on back muscles and internal organs. As a result, the hormones are balanced, which leads to reduced nausea and vomiting.

Spinal events

Throughout pregnancy, your spine deals with a great deal of pressure. At the end of the third trimester, the hormonal effect is maximized. This is the time when the body prepares itself for a safe and healthy delivery. At this point, the hormone called “relaxin” is released. When that happens, the hormone relaxes the pelvis and surrounding area’s joints and ligaments. For some women, the release of relaxin can result in backache, spine instability, and joint discomfort. Blood volume increases during pregnancy. The volume is higher in water retention problems in the pelvic, lower back, and hip areas. The growing pregnancy belly can also affect posture and spine. You can reduce the pressure by seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractors use a safe method to relieve pain and discomfort to make your pregnancy as safe and healthy as possible. 

Uneventful labor

With regular appointments and a chiropractor’s guidance through the pregnancy, the labor is shorter, quick, and less painful. Routine appointments for chiropractic adjustments exhibit beneficial effects on women’s spine, pelvis, and hip bones. In addition, the adjustments establish pelvic balance, thus reducing complications in delivery. Chiropractic care during pregnancy also helps women have a natural childbirth without the medicine.

Position of the baby within the uterus

The ideal position of the baby for any labor is the head coming out first. However, sometimes instead of the head, butt, or back face the cervix. As a result, complications in vaginal delivery may occur. These include fatal delivery, prolonged labor, cord prolapse, or the need for a C-section. Chiropractic care helps promote optimal baby position for safe delivery. To avoid these problems, pregnant women may often want to see a chiropractor by the time they reach the eighth month of pregnancy. For women whose babies are in breech or transverse lie position, a chiropractor may utilize the Webster technique, a safe and effective technique performed on women at all stages of pregnancy.

Healthy pregnancy outcome

A healthy pregnancy means there is no complication either for the baby or the mother. The baby and mother need to be safe during and after the pregnancy. Chiropractic care helps the spine, which is essential for the immune system’s optimal function and other internal organs. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments help support safer and easier labor and overall healthier pregnancy. Post-pregnancy chiropractic care helps support the mother when the gestational changes reverse. The clinic helps mothers through and after pregnancy.
