Pregnant? Here’s Why You Should Visit Us

During pregnancy, it’s entirely common for mothers to experience not just back pain, but joint and muscle discomfort.

We love helping pregnant mothers prepare for the birth of their upcoming bundle of joy with gentle and custom chiropractic care designed to meet the needs of their changing body.

Here’s why:

1. Optimal Function, Optimal Birth

Keeping your spine healthy allows us to ensure your entire nervous system is functioning as it should. When you’re able to keep your spine aligned and nervous system balanced during pregnancy, you’re setting your body up to work as effective as possible. When you’re pregnant, a body working in peak performance is what you’re after!

2. Pain Relief

The joy of having a new baby is well worth the aches and pains you go through to get there (at least as a father I can say this!). During pregnancy, it’s entirely common for mothers to experience not just back pain, but joint and muscle discomfort. This is largely due to the weight of the growing baby as it puts new stress on shifting internal organs as well as the pelvis and low back. The good news? Our chiropractic adjustments are gentle and effective during all stages of pregnancy and massage is beneficial for muscle spasms.  We have special pregnancy tables for your comfort.

3. Proper Alignment

As a chiropractic patient, you know that our focus is typically spinal function. But for pregnant mothers, we’re also focused on ensuring proper pelvic position for a couple of reasons. First, if the pelvis is misaligned, it can limit the amount of space the developing baby has to grow and move. Second, chiropractic helps you keep proper posture throughout your pregnancy, which can lead to unnecessary body aches.

4. Delivery Benefits

A smooth, healthy and speedy delivery is every new mother’s dream when it comes to the birthing process. But what you may not know is that a pelvis that is not moving properly can lead to back pain, sciatica and difficult delivery issues as the baby isn’t always able to get into the most ideal delivery position. For mothers who hope to have a natural and non-invasive birth, this can lead to problems.

Many of our patients have reported that with regular prenatal care, their deliveries seemed faster and required less artificial intervention.
