Many discomforts arise as your body changes both physically and physiologically during pregnancy. Among other changes, the pelvis widens, the spine compresses, and the individual's posture begins to curve. With all of these changes come aches and pains. Receiving routine treatment during pregnancy can help with continued spine alignment and pelvic balance, providing several benefits.
Chiropractic care and pain relief can help avoid certain risks during labor and delivery and help those wanting a noninvasive, natural birth through ideal positioning and pain management.
Optimal spinal alignment, improved circulation, ideal pelvic position, and overall emotional well-being are all benefits of chiropractic care that contribute to a more comfortable, positive prenatal and postnatal experience.
Prenatal chiropractic care has numerous benefits for both mother and baby. By continuing to see your chiropractor throughout your pregnancy, you may:
The most common ailment experienced by pregnant women is back, neck, and joint pain. Furthermore, this pain can resonate throughout your body and be debilitating if you have sciatica. Pain is caused by the weight of that growing belly and curving spine, but the production of relaxin also causes it. Relaxin is a hormone that loosens ligaments and joints in the pelvic area in preparation for birth, but it also causes painful and fragile joints throughout the body. On the other hand, chiropractic care naturally relieves back pain by decompressing and properly aligning the spine, including pain relief from all causes, including relaxin production. Chiropractic care can provide you with improved posture, increased flexibility and mobility, better sleep, and overall pain relief.
Morning sickness is another common pregnancy symptom. When considering chiropractic care, nausea is frequently overlooked. On the other hand, regular treatments can alleviate this discomfort by aligning your spine to improve overall nervous system function, allowing your increased hormones to balance and thus lessen nausea. Regular chiropractic care can also help with digestive issues like heartburn and constipation.
The more flexible you are, the lesser your overall risk of injury, particularly in the spine. This is especially important during pregnancy because you lose mobility as you get further along. Continued spinal alignments will help you maintain flexibility throughout your body, allowing you to avoid injury during pregnancy and labor.
Dangerous baby positioning, such as breech or sunny side up, can result in interventions such as induction, forceps birth, and C-section. Chiropractic care can help position the baby optimally and reduce the risk of intervention. Treatment can thus help reduce overall labor and delivery time and thus help you avoid complications in general.
Because the spine is directly connected to the lower back and pelvis, chiropractic realignment improves posture and provides optimal pelvic alignment. This can help to strengthen pelvic muscles, avoid lower back injury during labor, and maximize space for the baby, making labor and delivery much easier and smoother. This can also benefit those who want to avoid pain medication and have a natural birth. Of course, as with all prenatal preparations and treatments, chiropractic care cannot guarantee easy labor and delivery because everybody and the birthing experience is different! Taking steps to ensure you are completely connected to your body and baby, on the other hand, can encourage a positive birthing experience even if your birth plan does not go as planned.
After giving birth, your body slowly returns to its pre-pregnancy state. If you maintain spinal flexibility, pelvic strength, and overall wellness during pregnancy, your recovery time may be decreased. Because chiropractic care can also help to promote a more natural birth, healing and recovery time are reduced. Chiropractic care can thus be beneficial during the postnatal period, particularly in pelvic rebalancing. We encourage you to continue routine treatment in order to reap these postnatal benefits.
Chiropractic is well-known for increasing immune response, which can help you avoid nasty colds and allergies, which are even more difficult to deal with while pregnant. Furthermore, pregnancy wellness and being in tune with your body at its healthiest state can improve your emotional well-being, enhancing your overall prenatal experience. A healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy baby!
