Prenatal Chiropractic Benefits

Did you know that prenatal chiropractic benefits your entire pregnancy? The body undergoes many changes during pregnancy as it grows with the baby and prepares for delivery. Pain and discomfort may accompany these changes. However, chiropractic care isn't only beneficial to pregnant women experiencing pain. Chiropractic care offers prenatal and postnatal benefits to all pregnant women. Discover how prenatal adjustments and chiropractic care during pregnancy go beyond pain relief.

Back Pain Relief

Back pain is common during pregnancy because ligaments and joints often become loose during the body's preparation for delivery, causing back pain. Prenatal adjustments can relieve back pain during pregnancy that’s due to spinal instabilities or loosened ligaments.

Reduced Morning Sickness

Women who suffer from severe morning sickness during pregnancy might benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractic care treats nausea and vomiting by realigning the spine, which improves the nervous system and regulates hormones. Additionally, adjustments can relieve digestive issues, which can cause everything from nausea to constipation.

Improved Pelvic Balance

Mothers that are worried their babies will remain in the breech position before labor find this essential. Studies have shown that chiropractic care during pregnancy helps maintain pelvic balance, necessary for babies to move into the correct position before birth.

Easier Delivery

In many cases, women who continue chiropractic care during their pregnancy find that they have an easier time giving birth. This can be attributed to prenatal adjustments helping to align the hips, pelvis, and spine. Further, a healthy nervous system may help women control their contractions more easily.

A Healthier Pregnancy

As a result of prenatal chiropractic benefits for reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system, many women have healthier pregnancies.

Faster Labor Recovery

Routine chiropractic care during pregnancy can make your body more likely to heal and recover faster because your body is in proper balance from the beginning.

Continued Wellness After Pregnancy

Women who receive prenatal chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can continue to benefit from them even after giving birth. Proper alignment can prevent injuries for new moms when lifting a baby, holding a baby for a long time, pushing a stroller or lifting car seats.
