How Chiropractic helps pregnancy
Pregnancy is a wonderful and exciting time for many women, but it also comes with its own set of physical and emotional challenges. As the body changes to accommodate the growing baby, women may experience pain and discomfort in their back, hips, and neck, and many other areas. This is where chiropractic care can be extremely beneficial. Dr. Shelby and Dr. David are both Webster certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric association (ICPA). They have the knowledge and resources to provide chiropractic adjustments for you during pregnancy.
Decreases discomfort - pain relief
Chiropractic care is a safe and natural way to manage pain during pregnancy. Unlike medications, chiropractic treatments do not have any adverse effects on the developing fetus, and they can be performed at any stage of pregnancy. This makes chiropractic an ideal choice for women who want to avoid taking pain medications or who are looking for a more holistic approach to their health during pregnancy. Pregnancy-related stress and tension can cause the muscles to tighten, making delivery more difficult and painful. Issues like Sciatica, Migraines, Sleep disorder, digestive problems, etc. are commonly corrected with gentle chiropractic adjustments to the spine, pelvis, and ligaments to relax the body. This optimizes the nervous system and will decrease pains and discomfort associated with pregnancy.
Can improve labor times
During pregnancy, the pelvis can become misaligned, which can restrict the baby's space to move and rotate, making delivery more difficult. Studies have shown that women receiving chiropractic care may have decreased labor times. This is mainly due to the pelvic alignment, when in its optimal position it allows the baby to move more freely, therefore making delivery easier. Chiropractic care enhances your body to do the work!
Can improve fetal position
Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can help to create an optimal environment for the developing fetus. By maintaining proper alignment of the pelvis and reducing any stress on the pelvic area; chiropractic care can help to ensure that the baby has enough room to grow and develop. In addition, adjustments can help to prepare the body for labor and delivery by ensuring that the pelvis is properly aligned and the muscles are relaxed. When the body is in optimal positioning prior to delivery, it can function at its best!
