A pregnant woman's body experiences physiological and endocrinological changes to prepare and create an environment that is suitable for the developing fetus in the womb.
Changes such as having a more prominent curve on the back, enlargement of the abdomen and pelvic structure changes can cause misalignment of the joints or spine.
As the baby develops in the mother's womb, the pregnant woman experiences lower back pain, too.
These conditions may be addressed through chiropractic care.
They are simple, non-forceful techniques that can be used by the doctor to help you with the condition.
They will "not" harm the baby.
The doctor, as your pregnancy progresses, will move to non-manual activator-type adjustments or extremely light manual adjustments to prevent lasting injuries to your baby.
By administering chiropractic care to a pregnant woman, the body achieves a more established pelvic balance and alignment.
A misaligned pelvis during pregnancy limits the room available for the developing baby in the womb.
Further, this condition increases the possibility of giving birth through caesarian section, as a misaligned pelvis makes it difficult for the fetus to get into the most ideal and safe position for the delivery.
It can also be very painful before and after.
Also, as chiropractic care alleviates pressure on the nerves, your body will be in better "communication" with the baby and thus be able to help it along better during its formation.
With chiropractic care, the misaligned pelvis may be addressed or can even be prevented, making it possible for the woman to achieve a healthy conception.
Chiropractic care prepares the pregnant woman to have better control over other prenatal conditions too with less stress of pain.
Such conditions as nausea and chronic lower back pain may be alleviated by chiropractic care.
This is especially important for pregnant women, as these conditions are normally experienced when conceiving.
Relieving the pregnant woman from unnecessary stress is already a big benefit, and having a safer and faster delivery through chiropractic care make this technique such an appealing service.
All chiropractors have undergone training to equip them in the proper handling of pregnant women.
Some chiropractors even take specialized training for prenatal and perinatal care.
These specialists are trained to handle pregnant women and use techniques to avoid areas that may cause stress to the woman's abdomen.
In addition, some practitioners even recommend special stretches and exercises designed specifically for a conceiving woman.
