Why use a pregnancy chiropractor?
During pregnancy, your body is going to go through an array of hormonal and physical changes. Some of these changes will have an impact on your posture and your level of comfort. As your baby starts to grow, your center of gravity will shift, which results in your posture adjusting accordingly.
The physical changes your body will go through during pregnancy can lead to a misaligned spine, as well as joints. With regular visits to a pregnancy chiropractor, they will be able to address these issues head-on. Plus, with alignments that are specifically designed to re-establish your balance, and align your pelvis and spine, a pregnancy chiropractor can do more than help you feel better. Chiropractic care is also very beneficial for your baby.
Misaligned Pelvis during Pregnancy
Having a misaligned pelvis can not only restrict the amount of available space for your baby, but it can also make it hard for your baby to move into the best position to be born, which is rear-facing, head down. In some cases, this can lead to the mother having a difficult time delivering the baby in a natural and non-invasive way. A balanced pelvis also gives your baby a lower chance of moving into a breach or posterior position. With your baby in a not so optimal position, this can lead to a long and often more complicated delivery.
Seeing a pregnancy chiropractor is a safe and effective form of treatment during pregnancy. Not only can regular chiropractic care help manage pain in your back, hips, and joints, it can also establish pelvic balance. This can provide your baby with as much space as possible over the course of your pregnancy. You may even find that with the help of a pregnancy chiropractor, your labor and delivery can be easier and faster.
