At no time in a women’s life is the incredible capacity of the human body more obvious than during pregnancy. The changes that accompany pregnancy are nothing short of amazing!
Chiropractic care takes on an emphasized role during pregnancy and while recovering from childbirth. Receiving chiropractic adjustments throughout your pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts many moms-to-be experience. Through chiropractic adjustments, pelvic balance is achieved and maintained and joint stress is eliminated leading to safer and easier deliveries for you and your baby.
Following your recommended treatment plan is important, especially during the first few weeks. Like committing to any new skill, the initial consistency of your chiropractic adjustments will make the most significant changes to your pelvis and spine. Research continues to validate chiropractic care during pregnancy. Regular chiropractic adjustments have been shown to:
- Help maintain and support pregnancy
- Control nausea and/or vomiting
- Help or stop premature contractions
- Help you remain active throughout your pregnancy
- Reduce the need for pain medication during pregnancy by 50%
- Release in-utero constraint, facilitating the turning of breech babies
- Be safe for mother and baby
During the labour and birth process chiropractic care has been shown to:
- Shorten labour time by 25 to 60 percent
- Reduce the incidence of back labour
- Reduce the amount of pain medication during labour
- Help make delivery more comfortable
- Improve your recovery from childbirth
