Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care
is beneficial before, during and after pregnancy. Imbalances in the pelvis and
other areas of the body can be detected before pregnancy, reducing the
likelihood of discomfort and other problems during the actual pregnancy, while
post-natal care addresses issues with ligaments loosed in late pregnancy and
childbirth. Care throughout a woman’s pregnancy has many benefits for the
expectant mother, easing symptoms throughout pregnancy and the birthing process.
All chiropractors
are trained to work with pregnant women, and chiropractic care is deemed safe
for most expectant mothers. Special
tables are sometimes used for pregnant women, adjusting especially for the
comfort of the patient, and techniques which chiropractors use during pregnancy
avoid unnecessary pressure to the abdominal area. While working with pregnant
patients is routine for chiropractors, many are specially trained in prenatal
chiropractic care, such as those with Webster certification. Chiropractors with
DACCP certification are those who have completed the highest level of advanced
training. Specially trained chiropractors can provide stretches and exercises
that are safe for their pregnant patients, as well as providing nutritional
counseling.
The main reason
for seeking chiropractic care during pregnancy is to maintain pelvic balance
and alignment. Misalignment of the pelvis can reduce the amount of room for the
growing baby, called intrauterine constraint, making the birthing process difficult.
Other benefits include controlling pregnancy symptoms (nausea, digestive
issues), relieving neck, back, and joint pain, reducing labor and delivery
time, preventing c-section deliveries, and maintaining an overall healthy
pregnancy.
