Pregnancy creates a lot of difficulty and discomfort for most women, and many women think there isn’t any way to get relief. However, a chiropractic adjustment does offer many benefits for pregnant women and family chiropractic care often includes prenatal chiropractic treatments. Here are a few benefits that pregnant women may experience through chiropractic care.
Pelvic Balance
Pregnancy can often result in a misaligned pelvis which can cause many issues during the duration of the pregnancy and through childbirth. This misalignment can cause something called intrauterine constraint, which means the fetus doesn’t have enough room while developing in the womb. It can also make the fetus have a more difficult time getting into the correct position for an easy delivery, which may affect the ability to have a natural birth and can make it more likely that the mother will have to have a C-section delivery. A chiropractic adjustment can help provide balance to the pelvis to prevent these issues from occurring.
Lessen Labor and Delivery Time
With family chiropractic care providing help in aligning the pelvis for pregnant women, labor and delivery time is often reduced. With the baby being in the optimal position for birth and the mother’s pelvis in proper alignment, labor and delivery time can be shortened and can cause less stress for both the mother and the baby. This can make for a better experience all around.
Relieve Neck and Back Pain
As many pregnant women know, neck and back pain is a common occurrence during pregnancy. Though a lot of women suffer through this pain and consider it a natural part of pregnancy, a chiropractic adjustment can help lessen this discomfort and provide some relief.
Pregnant women know that pregnancy can be difficult. However, because prenatal chiropractic care is an important part of a family chiropractic practice, they may be able to find some relief with a chiropractic adjustment.
