Chiropractic and Pregnancy |
|
Did you know that chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy can relieve and  even prevent the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy?
The beautiful process of pregnancy can put additional stress on a pregnant mother. Some women have pre-existing, unkown imbalances in their spines, which are compounded with the growth of the pregnant belly. These imbalances in the spine and pelvis create pain and discomfort for the mother, put stress on her reproductive organs, and cause constraint on the uterus where the baby is developing (intra-utero constraint). Intra-utero constraint limits the space in which the baby grows and can affect the development of the baby. All of these factors can complicate your delivery process.
As chiropractors, our job is to restore balance to the spine, pelvis and nervous system. Studies have shown that chiropractic care for pregnant women can help bring comfort to the body and create an easy delivery. It can also shorten labor by 50-60% and lessen the requirement of medication by at least 50%.
Many chiropractors, like Dr. Kobbe, are educated and trained to work with pregnant mothers. We have special adjusting tables to accommodate for your pregnant belly, making the chiropractic adjustment very comfortable, safe and effective.
