Chiropractic care before, during, and after pregnancy helps to ensure resiliency in the mother and baby during this new chapter of life. New stressors are placed on the mom's body as it adapts to a growing baby. Proper nervous system and spinal function creates balance within the pelvis and an optimal environment for a healthy pregnancy.
Our office works with many women prior to pregnancy to establish that their spine and nervous system are at optimal health prior to conception. A proper functioning nervous system provides a healthy internal environment for the baby without the need for drugs. After conception, gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments help support the mother during this process. These safe and gentle adjustments can help to relieve symptoms of back pain, sciatic pain, and pelvic discomfort related to pregnancy. In addition to relieving discomfort, these adjustments restore the structure of the mom's pelvis that is preparing for birth, thus making more room for the baby and providing a safe environment for the baby and mother to thrive.
An exciting new chapter begins when your baby arrives! The mother's body is faced with new challenges, such as breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, holding the baby, etc. Postpartum care continues to help the mother through restoring spinal structure and nervous system function.
