Chiropractic care, throughout all stages of pregnancy, is a safe and effective method to eliminate or limit the pain that can be felt due to the extra strain presented to the body.
A dramatic shift in weight distribution occurs during pregnancy altering the body’s natural centre of gravity. There is an increase in demand placed on the lower back and muscular structures of the hips. This can lead to stress on joints, back and neck pain.
Chiropractic treatment is excellent for dealing with these problems and helps develop good posture through overall muscular tone and balance.
Studies have shown that nearly half of all pregnant women experience low back pain at some stage of their pregnancy.
Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.
Chiropractic Therapy and Massage Therapy have long been recognized as some of the most effective means of stress relief and can profoundly impact both mother and child. These therapies not only soothe the mother-to-be, but also reduce the flow of stress hormones to the baby.
After the childbirth, post-partum therapies focus on restoring the mother’s body to its natural pre-pregnancy condition. New mothering activities place new demands on the body.
Nursing and carrying the child continue to have an impact on muscular balance and posture. The nurturing hands of a chiropractor help alleviate any issues.
