perinatal care
why visit a chiropractor during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a time when it can be challenging to feel your best. Weight gain, a changing center of gravity, and hormonal changes can leave you feeling unfamiliar with your own body.
Combine those physical changes with the emotions of anticipating an upcoming birth, and all the questions and worries that come with that– is my baby thriving? Will my baby be well-positioned when my delivery day comes?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can address both the physical discomfort mom may be feeling and support the unborn baby to move into an optimal birth position.
What are the benefits of visiting a chiropractor during pregnancy?
- Reduced interference to the mother’s nervous system, which controls & coordinates all other systems and functions in her body
- Prepares the pelvis for a more comfortable pregnancy and birth by creating balance in the bone structures, muscles and ligaments in the pelvis
- Remove tension in the ligaments that support the uterus, potentially reducing tension to the uterus
- By improving the mother’s overall function, we are decreasing the potential for unnecessary intervention
- Overall decrease in low back and pelvic pain as the baby is growing
for the mother
- Reduced interference in the mother’s nervous system allows better development for the baby without restriction
- Pelvic balance in the mother
for the baby
