Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Did you know that chiropractic care is beneficial during pregnancy? You may be surprised at how much relief you find! Chiropractic care can help to keep your body balanced and healthy as your baby grows.

If you are pregnant, consider scheduling a consultation with a chiropractor to see if this form of treatment can help you feel better during your pregnancy.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Orthopedic Care
Because chiropractic care helps your body function with maximum efficiency, it can help you combat the discomforts associated with pregnancy. Your chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system and offer treatments that are right for you. You may find that chiropractic care reduces your reliance on over-the-counter pain medications, which could reduce the risk of congenital disabilities. This type of treatment can also improve posture, balance, coordination, and strength by maximizing how your joints line up. The result is less pressure on knee joints that are misaligned or hips that are uneven due to pregnancy weight gain.
Emotional Stability
Pregnancy places unique demands on your body, mind, and emotions—and all at the same time. The hormonal shifts and physical changes can lead to changes in your mood, which may impact your overall well-being.
Assisting with Labor and Delivery
Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help reduce sciatic nerve pain that causes some women significant discomfort during labor by relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve that runs from your low back down through your legs.
A Happier Postpartum Experience
Adjustments throughout pregnancy are believed to ease back pain, particularly after giving birth, while minimizing pelvic floor stress or strain. Less pressure on pelvic joints means less chance of uterine prolapse.
