Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Support your body through growing LIFE.
Pregnancy is an incredibly important time for a mother and child’s future. Women’s bodies are designed to go through incredible physiological and hormonal changes during and post pregnancy to create an optimal environment for a developing baby.
Through these changes, many women will develop subluxations that may result in symptoms.
Subluxations can cause nerve interference, preventing your brain from sending optimal information to the rest of the body through the nervous system.
Chiropractic care offers safe, gentle, holistic and drug-free options for pregnant women to achieve health and wellness.
Pregnancy & Chiropractic Care
Pelvic Alignment
Gait Changes
Wider stride activates new muscles and can cause stress on ligaments – these changes can further impact joint mobility.
Hormonal Changes
The hormone relaxin causes ligaments and joints to relax in preparation for baby and birth. This can aggravate underlying issues and cause dysfunction.
Fetal Movement
Increased fetal movement puts pressure on the back, ribs, diaphragm and internal organs.
Pubic Symphysis
SPD can be attributed to the additional weight bearing and anterior tilt putting pressure on the pubic symphysis.
Round Ligament
The Fourth Trimester
Mothers deserve to be cared for in all stages, including the fourth trimester. During your postpartum period, your body is healing and adapting to the absence of baby in the womb.
Birth interventions can further the need to heal postpartum, and create additional stress on your postpartum body. Postpartum is a physically and emotionally challenging time in a woman’s life, and we are here to support you.
