Pregnancy brings plenty of joy and anticipation to many families. It’s also when expectant mothers experience multiple physical changes, some of which can lead to pain and discomfort. Regular chiropractic treatments can be incredibly beneficial in alleviating these challenges and ensuring a smoother journey.
When Should You Consider Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
A mother’s body goes through significant changes during pregnancy. A growing fetus can shift their center of gravity, leading to an unhealthy posture, which may cause back pain. Women also release hormones to prepare the pelvic area for childbirth, but this issue may also result in the loosening of the ligaments and joints, creating problems with balance, joint pain, and general discomfort.
Chiropractic Techniques For Pregnancy
When receiving prenatal chiropractic care during pregnancy, specialists use gentle techniques to avoid unnecessary abdominal pressure. One popular method is the Webster Technique, which treats sacral and pelvic misalignment, supports pelvic balance and makes childbirth easier.
Other common treatments can include:
- Gentle spine adjustments to improve alignment and reduce back pain
- Soft tissue work to alleviate muscle tension and stress
- Personalized stretches to maintain flexibility and strength during pregnancy
