pregnancy

Chiropractic during pregnancy is an important part of prenatal care.  Many pregnant women experience low back pain, hip pain and pubic symphysis pain as the body undergoes an amazing amount of changes during pregnancy.  The musculoskeletal system adapts to accommodate the babys growth within the uterus and prepares for delivery. 

Chiropractic care helps to keep the nervous system functioning at its optimal level along with helping to keep you structurally in check by correcting misalignments (called vertebral subluxations by chiropractors). Misalignments can be especially painful during this time of musculoskeletal stress.  When the pelvis is subluxated (misaligned) it affects the uterus and the position of the growing baby.

Chiropractors correct the subluxations in the pelvis to help balance the uterus and allow better positioning of the baby. Chiropractic adjustments for a pregnant women are specific, gentle and safe.
