Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Regular chiropractic care is an integral part of prenatal and postpartum care during pregnancy. It helps keep mom feeling good and assists her in coping with the physical stresses of an ever changing body.
During pregnancy, most women experience a number of neuromuscular and biochemical problems that respond favorably to gentle, safe, non-invasive chiropractic care.
Causes
muscle and ligament relaxation and allows joints to more easily misalign
increased weight gain
increased demand and fatigue on spinal and pelvic muscles
increased stress on spinal and pelvic ligaments
increase in lumbar and thoracic spinal curves which further increase the above
increased joint stress and thus occurrence of vertebral and sacroiliac joint misalignments
Change in weight distribution
increased demand and fatigue on spinal and pelvic muscles
increased stress on spinal and pelvic ligaments
increase in lumbar and thoracic spinal curves which further increase the above
increased joint stress and thus occurrence of vertebral and sacroiliac joint misalignments
The above changes primarily affect the pelvic and spinal ligaments, muscles, joints and other supportive soft tissues. These changes cause sprain/strains of pelvic and spinal structures, as well as alteration of the normal spinal curvatures and spinal biomechanics. The result is an increased stress on the body leading to pain and discomfort.
Chiropractors can alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms arising from the muscular, ligamentous, and biomechanical stresses encountered during pregnancy. We accomplish this through the use of a number of highly specialized procedures and techniques
