Maternal Chiropractic Care
Congratulations!
Pregnancy is supposed to be one of the most joyous transformations any human can go through. The problem is that so many women experience increased low back pain, upper back pain hip pain, sciatica, etc., during pregnancy. It is hard to enjoy the blessings of being pregnant and bringing a beautiful new baby into the world in nine months’ time while suffering with back pain.
Chiropractic care may help the spine and pelvis cope with the effects of pregnancy by restoring a state of alignment and balance while going through the trimesters of pregnancy.
Fun Fact
The spine is responsible for 90% of the brain’s stimulation and nutrition, according to Nobel laureate Roger Sperry.
During pregnancy, a woman’s pelvis shifts forward compared to the feet while the shoulders and upper back have to lean back to support the weight of your growing baby. This additional weight causes stress to the joints of the pelvis, low back, mid back, upper back, and neck. The joints of the spine get pinched in areas due to the changes in posture. Any pre-existing problems in a woman’s spine, such as scoliosis tend to be exacerbated as the spine and pelvis become overtaxed, often leading to pain and difficulty performing normal daily activities.
Due to these changes, chiropractic care is an essential part of pregnancy care.
When is it the best time to see a chiropractor during pregnancy?
The best thing about starting pregnancy chiropractic care is that you can start any time- before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or after pregnancy! However, if you are planning to start or add to your family soon, it is recommended to come in as soon as possible so we can do a thorough history, exam and set goals together for your pregnancy plan. Prior to pregnancy, we can also take Xrays to assess the health of your spine. Remember that your body and spine will be changing throughout pregnancy so the best time to strengthen and take care of your spine is before those changes start occurring.
