WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?


The chiropractic adjustment is the process of manipulating joint components in order to restore them to their optimal alignment. This is important when these structures become misaligned (or are pushed out of alignment) as a result of age-related physical changes, long-standing postural difficulties, or traumatic events such as auto accident injuries. Subluxation is a condition that can affect infants during their passage through the birth canal. From chronic muscle strain and pinched nerves to systemic ailments, alignment errors can cause a number of complaints.


Chiropractic adjustments help errant joint components back into their proper place, allowing the joints to function more normally while also reducing nerve impingement and correcting body symmetry. The traditional manual form of this technique entails the precise application of high-velocity, low-amplitude force. Call us today at (402) 502-3878 to schedule your next appointment.

 HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN PROMOTE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY

 

If you are a pregnant woman experiencing back pain, you may be wondering if it is safe to visit a chiropractor during your pregnancy. Chiropractic care is safe for most pregnancies and relieves a variety of prenatal and postnatal symptoms, and makes labor delivery easier. For all these reasons, many midwives and obstetricians advise their patients to seek chiropractic care.

 

What Causes Pregnancy Back Pain and Spinal Misalignment?

Your body undergoes numerous changes to accommodate a growing baby. Some of the factors that can cause spinal discomfort while pregnant are as follows:

• You are carrying an extra 25 to 30 pounds. 

• Your abdominal muscles have weakened.

• Your lower spine's curve is accentuated. 

• Your body produces more relaxin, a hormone that relaxes joints and ligaments. Your joints and ligaments may become structurally unstable and cause pain if they become too loose.

Chiropractic Care Can Be Beneficial During Pregnancy

Prenatal chiropractic care has numerous advantages for both mother and child. You may benefit from continuing to see your chiropractor throughout your pregnancy if you:


Alleviate Back Pain

The most common complaint among pregnant women is back, neck, and joint pain. Furthermore, if you have sciatica, this pain can resonate throughout your body and be debilitating. Pain is caused by the weight of that expanding 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. Chiropractic care, fortunately, naturally relieves back pain by decompressing and properly aligning the spine, including pain relief from all causes, including relaxin production. Chiropractic care can help you achieve better posture, increased flexibility and mobility, and even better sleep, in addition to pain relief.

 

Get nausea 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.

 

Avoid injury

The more flexible you are, the less likely you are to sustain an injury, particularly to your spine. This is especially important during pregnancy, as you lose mobility as you get further along. Continued spinal alignments will assist you in maintaining flexibility throughout your body, allowing you to avoid injury during pregnancy and labor.

Optimal positioning baby before birth

Dangerous baby positioning, such as breech or sunny side up, can necessitate interventions such as induction, forceps birth, and C-section. Chiropractic care can help to position the baby optimally and reduce the risk of intervention. As a result, treatment can help reduce overall labor and delivery time and help you avoid complications in general.

 

Have a potentially less difficult labor and delivery

Because the spine is connected to the lower back and pelvis, regular realignment through chiropractic care will improve posture and 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 birthing experience is unique! 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 exactly as planned.

 

Easier postnatal recovery

After giving birth, your body gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy state. If you maintain spinal flexibility, pelvic strength, and overall wellness during pregnancy, your recovery time may be reduced. Because chiropractic care can also help to promote more natural birth, healing and recovery time are reduced. Chiropractic care can thus be beneficial during the postnatal period, particularly in terms of pelvic rebalancing. We encourage you to continue with your regular treatment in order to reap these benefits postnatally.



Healthier overall pregnancy health and emotional well-being

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 happy mind leads to a healthy body, which leads to a happy and healthy baby!


Receiving chiropractic treatment is generally safe and effective at all stages of pregnancy. The benefits of chiropractic care to promote pregnancy wellness can be truly amazing!
