Prenatal & Postnatal Care

How can chiropractic add comfort?
Do you know that some pregnant women experience pain especially back discomfort during their pregnancy? The fact is this is due to an interference of a body's normal structure adaptations of the rapid baby's growth.

During these times, the spine and pelvis have unnoticed imbalances and it could lead to difficulty or discomfort while doing daily activities. During pregnancy, establishing pelvic balance and alignment is the reason in obtaining chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care gives relieve and prevent common discomforts experienced throughout pregnancy. Specific adjustments could eliminate stress to the spine; restore balances to pelvis and results great comfort and lifestyle improvement.

It's safe and effective and it’s been widely research and it’s validated by the federal government for decades. This is very essential choice to any pre-natal care. It is safe during pregnancy when provided by a chiropractor that has been trained to work with pregnant women. It provides benefits for women who are pregnant.

Potential benefits would be:
Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
Controlling symptoms of nausea
Reducing the time of labor and delivery
Relieving back, neck or joint pain
Prevent a potential cesarean section
Comfort for your baby, too.

Most women nearly forget the trauma that is often used during the birth process. The pressure from normal births, vacuum extraction and forceps can add additional stress.

The rapid growth of the baby enlarges the uterus. When the pelvis is in balance, the ligaments connecting the uterus will maintain equalized support suspension to the uterus. When the pelvis is not balanced, there could be twist and torque exerted to ligaments and that causes constraint to uterus.

This limits the space for developing baby. It will affect baby's optimal development throughout pregnancy and torticollis occurs when space for developed baby is cramped in utero.

Hence, it could prevent the baby from having best possible position. The head is slightly tilted off to one side, prevent baby's head movement, thus, add pain to mother and baby or prolong labor. Sometimes prolong labor states that baby is big or the labor "just slow down", well in fact the baby's presentation interferes progression and normal process of delivery. These interventions could lead to an operative one, which is caesarian operation.

Chiropractic doctors work specifically with pelvis during pregnancy, restore state balance and create environment to a safe and easy delivery. It clearly appears to be much gentler. As a matter of fact, the amount of the pressure that is used is about the same as the pressure if you were to push your finger into your eye while it is disclosed without causing discomfort.
Its approach is merely focused on allowing for optimum expressions of a woman genetic potential.

Preparing for Safer Birth
Most pregnant women want to avoid prolonged, exhausted labor (known as dystocia). Dystocia is pelvic imbalance and the results are in effect on the uterus and the baby's position. It also resulted to medical interventions and could add to physical and emotional trauma to the mother and the baby.

Intervention includes using pitocin, epidurals, painful episiotomies; baby's fragile spine is pulled by force, by vacuum extraction, by forceps and perhaps c-sections. These procedures carry a high risk injury to mother and the baby.

However, these procedures can be avoided. During pregnancy, regular chiropractic care restore balances to pelvic muscles, ligaments and it could lead to safe and easy deliveries.

In addition, the nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively. Chiropractic adjustments remove interferences to nervous system. It allows functioning for the uterus at maximum potential. Studies shows chiropractic care reduces time of labor.
