Nurturing Wellness: Chiropractic for Pregnancy
Pregnancy Chiropractor in Superior, Colorado
Chiropractic Care as Prenatal Care
Now, you might be wondering if chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy, and that’s a totally valid question! You can rest easy knowing that lots of studies have shown that chiropractic care is both safe and effective during pregnancy. In fact, the American Pregnancy Association encourages expecting mothers to see chiropractors for their aches and discomforts.
Chiropractic care is a safe, gentle, and drug-free way to manage pain and boost your overall health and wellness.
Regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can help bring balance back to your pelvis, improving your posture and making the birthing process easier. Chiropractic care is even linked to shorter labor times and less medical intervention during delivery. This often leads to better birth outcomes and improved health and recovery for both you and your baby!
Your Comfort Matters During Pregnancy
The most obvious change during pregnancy is the mother’s ever-growing belly. That’s always a great sign because it means your baby is healthy and growing! But that rapid growth can put a lot of stress on your body.
Early on pregnancy, your center of gravity shifts forward, which can mess with your balance and posture. As your little one gets bigger, the curve in your lower back increases, sometimes leading to hip and back pain. Your upper spine might even shift as it tries to compensate for the stress on your lower back.
And as you get closer to meeting your baby, your body releases a hormone called relaxin. This helps loosen the ligaments in your pelvis, making room for your baby to grow. While it’s totally necessary, this hormone can also lead to imbalances, possibly causing falls, aches, and pains.
Chiropractic care can help with all these issues, making sure you have the most comfortable and healthy pregnancy possible!
