Chiropractic care during and after pregnancy
Majority of pregnant women develop low back pain at some point during their pregnancies and some even suffer from sciatic nerve pain. Protruding abdomen and increased spinal curvature, as well as changes to the pelvis and posture could result in misaligned spine or joints. As the baby grows in size, the woman’s center of gravity begins to shift forward to the front of her pelvis and the shifted weight increases the stress on the posterior joints of the pelvis.
Chiropractic care is also helpful post pregnancy as it releases muscle tension acquired from labor and delivery. In addition, it assists the joints to return to their ideal alignment.
Chiropractic adjustments can provide pain relief and it is safe for both the mother and her baby. Chiropractic care during and after pregnancy can help balance and improve the alignment of the spine and pelvis.
