Why You Should See a Chiropractor During Pregnancy

For many women bringing a baby into the world can be the happiest, most joyful experience and the most challenging and demanding. During pregnancy we receive a lot of opinions from others and are often told symptoms are normal. Here is the thing, your body was created for this and while symptoms are common during pregnancy, they are not normal. There are physical, emotional, hormonal, and spiritual challenges all along the way. Chiropractic care helps facilitate the process, making it less stressful for you and your baby from pre-conception through postpartum.  

Most people think of prenatal chiropractic for back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, or other pregnancy-related symptoms. While we can certainly help get relief from those discomforts, we are focused on preparing your body for the best birth outcomes. Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care contributes to more straightforward labor and birth with less pain and trauma for mom and baby.  Many women come to us to prepare their body for birth and ease the motherhood transition. You don’t need to wait until a symptom shows up before starting care. In fact, pre-conception is a great time to start getting adjusted.  

It is important to find a chiropractor that is certified in Webster Technique from the ICPA. This technique addresses pelvic and ligamentous imbalances during pregnancy. Restoring nervous system balance and reducing tension on the uterus will support the needs of your baby, reduce discomfort, and prepare you for labor and delivery.
