“AS THE BODY BECOMES MISALIGNED CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS YOUR PARTNER FOR AN EASIER PREGNANCY.”
Visiting a prenatal chiropractor prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in the bony pelvis, muscles and ligaments. Proper pelvic alignment allows for a faster labor, with less chance of awkward fetal positioning. One study showed that women who were adjusted during pregnancy had 25% shorter labors than women who were not. This percentage went up to 36% in women who were delivering their second or third babies.
Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s center of gravity changes from day to day, as the belly grows and the spinal curves shift. Many women look for alternatives to pain medications and drugs during pregnancy. Pre-natal chiropractic care is a safe and natural alternative for pain relief. Of course after the baby is born it is important to make a post partum appointment as well.
