Pregnancy Care at Body Wave Chiropractic
As one of the most remarkable journeys of a woman’s life, pregnancy is also accompanied by various aches and pains. The good news is that chiropractic care can be a wonderful, drug-free resource for pregnant moms.
During pregnancy, many changes happen to Mom as her baby develops: the spinal curve in the lower back increases as the abdomen protrudes, overall pelvic alignment shifts and posture adapts to a new center of gravity—all of which can result in additional stress on the spine, misaligned vertebrae or joints, and a general buildup of stress, pain, and tension.
The Role of Chiropractic
As a chiropractor, Dr. Laura is trained to gently examine the spine and determine if spinal misalignments and nerve stress may be negatively affecting the developing pregnancy. When the spinal bones are lined up right and moving correctly, moms often experience less pain and greater ease with the changes they are going through.
Here are some other potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Controls nausea
- Relieves back, neck, or joint pain
- Maintains a healthier pregnancy overall
- Reduces the time of labor and delivery
Chiropractic can also release intrauterine constraint, allowing more room for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery. And this can support a mom’s ability to have a more comfortable, non-invasive birth. Additionally, gentle adjustments help release stress from the mother’s body and nerves, benefiting the baby by reducing stress signals and potentially enhancing brain development.
