CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR
PREGNANCY
These changes are essential for the growth and health of your baby. When discomfort and pain arise, you cannot depend on over-the-counter medications to relieve your pregnancy-related symptoms. Indeed, it may be difficult to balance care that is safe for your baby and is effective for your own needs. Visiting our Carroll county chiropractic office is a safe and effective approach for pain relief during your pregnancy. It also further sets mom and baby up for a successful delivery and recovery.
Common Effects of Pregnancy
One of the most noticeable changes during pregnancy is a mom’s ever-growing belly. This is a sign that the baby is growing and is healthy. Though, this can place a lot of stress on the mom’s body. For one, your center of gravity shifts towards the front of your pelvis, which affects your balance and posture. As your pregnancy continues, your lower back curve increases, which can cause lower back pain. The upper spine may change to compensate for these changes. Towards the end of your pregnancy, the body releases a hormone known as relaxin. This hormone releases the ligaments in the body, especially around the pelvis, to prepare for giving birth. However, this can increase the possibility of falling, as well as pain and discomfort. Fortunately, chiropractic care is a natural and effective way to address these issues and help you have a healthy and comfortable pregnancy.
Chiropractic Care as Prenatal Care
Additionally, a chiropractic adjustment helps improve balance to a woman’s pelvis. In turn, this improves a mom’s overall posture and reduces pain. This also helps the baby have more room within the womb. Chiropractic care is also associated with shorter labor times, reduced need for medical intervention during delivery, and better birth results for both mother and baby.
