Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy

Why is chiropractic care so important during pregnancy? At its most basic premise, chiropractic will help you and your nervous system adapt during this major shift. It will help you deal with all the structural, hormonal and emotional stressors. Structurally, chiropractic will help keep your joints moving appropriately so you can make room for your growing baby. When the pelvis and low back vertebrae are moving appropriately, your nerves can freely flow to all your muscles and organs, which may result in less pain and more nutrients to baby. Other benefits seen during chiropractic during pregnancy include headache relief, decrease in nausea and overall stress reduction.

Why Am I in Pain?

Experiencing pain is normal, although also unpleasant. Think of pain as an alarm system, alerting you to dangers that affect your body. When pain becomes persistent, it can be problematic. There may be some ongoing inflammatory reactions in the tissues that cause the persisting pain. The tissues may have healed but are not yet healthy; muscles may remain weak and underused, there may be motor control issues with the core muscles. Your physiotherapist can be part of the team of health professionals that help you design a unique treatment program that addresses your pain issues and physical impairments.
