The time of rapid development, hormonal changes, relaxation of ligaments, and shifting of weight-bearing structures caused by pregnancy may result in low back pain for many expectant women.  Chiropractic care may be very helpful in reducing discomfort caused by these changes. 

 

Additionally, chiropractic care helps normalize nervous system function, which is important for overall good health.  Those receiving prenatal chiropractic checkups can increase their nervous system capacity to function at its very best.

 

The benefits of chiropractic care may also be noticed during delivery.  Many chiropractic patients report that their deliveries are faster and more comfortable than their deliveries prior to chiropractic care.

 

Your Doctor of Chiropractic will take special precautions with you during pregnancy.  Modifications to the table or adjusting techniques are made during each stage of pregnancy.  Constant structural changes, physical and emotional stresses provide the opportunity for beneficial chiropractic care during all stages of pregnancy.

 

Woman who exercise moderately, quit smoking, eat healthy foods, and avoid alcohol during their pregnancies are to be congratulated.  These are all important elements in creating a healthy foundation for developing babies.

 

Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body.  All of the joints in your body are part of this musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health.

 

Ask your Doctor of Chiropractic for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice or other conservative methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition and lifestyle.  Or call PSC to set up an appointment time.  Pamper yourself and your baby with regular chiropractic checkups.
