Prenatal Chiropractor

Pregnancy is a transformative journey that brings numerous physiological and endocrinological changes in a woman’s body. While regular prenatal visits and optimal nutrition help ensure a healthy pregnancy, chiropractic treatment offers several benefits to pregnant women to alleviate common aches and pains during each stage of pregnancy. 

 

Gentle, non-invasive, and safe chiropractic care can be integral to prenatal care, relieving aches and pains and preparing the body for a smoother delivery.

 

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

During the nearly ten months of pregnancy, the curve in your back increases, your abdomen expands, ligaments in your pelvis and hips relax, and you may experience alignment changes in your spine or pelvis as your center of gravity shifts. 

 

While essential for accommodating the growing baby, these changes can sometimes lead to musculoskeletal symptoms such as spinal nerve compression, vaginal bleeding, and changes to your hormones affecting the nervous system. Chiropractic care can assist in addressing these symptoms by helping your body adapt to these changes.

 

Chiropractic care can help you establish pelvic balance and alignment. A well-aligned pelvis can help move your baby into the best possible position for delivery, reducing complications and making the birthing process more straightforward. 

 

Many women who have received chiropractic care experience relief from low-back pain due to pregnancy after receiving chiropractic adjustments. 

 

What Types of Chiropractic Techniques are Used for Prenatal Issues?

At ChiropracticUSA, we use specialized chiropractic techniques for prenatal care, including Webster’s Technique. The following treatments provide a comfortable prenatal experience, promoting maternal and fetal wellness throughout the pregnancy journey:

 

• Webster’s technique: Designed to alleviate sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction, this technique helps reduce intrauterine constraints. It can enhance fetal positioning, which is vital during the later stages of pregnancy to prepare for natural childbirth. When performed by a skilled chiropractic professional like Dr. Murrin, it potentially reduces the necessity for cesarean sections for a smoother delivery process.

 

• Specific chiropractic analysis: We conduct a thorough examination to identify any musculoskeletal issues or spinal misalignments. This analysis includes evaluating spinal curvatures, pelvic alignment, and other structural aspects essential for a comfortable pregnancy and easier childbirth. For instance, addressing spinal misalignments can alleviate back pain, a common complaint during pregnancy.

 

• Tailored adjustments: Based on the chiropractic analysis, we offer personalized adjustments to correct your specific prenatal issues. These adjustments can include gentle spinal manipulations, stretches, or exercises to improve mobility, alleviate discomfort, and prepare the body for childbirth. 

 

Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

The American Pregnancy Association highlights several potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy. With our prenatal chiropractic services, you can experience the following:

 

• Healthier pregnancy: Regular chiropractic adjustments can contribute to a healthier pregnancy by ensuring the body’s musculoskeletal system is well-aligned and functioning optimally. With improved health throughout the body, you may also experience better overall wellness during and after pregnancy.

 

• Nausea control: Many pregnant women experience nausea, especially during the first trimester. Chiropractic care can help in controlling and reducing these symptoms.

 

• Reduced labor and delivery time: With the body in optimal alignment, labor and delivery times can be reduced, leading to a smoother birthing process.

 

• Pain relief: Pregnancy can often lead to back, neck, or joint pain due to the body’s changing hormones and ligament alignments. Chiropractic adjustments offer a safe and non-pharmaceutical method to relieve these discomforts.

 

• Prevention of cesarean delivery: Proper pelvic alignment and reduced intrauterine constraint can decrease the chances of a breech baby, potentially preventing the need for a cesarean section.
