Prenatal Chiropractic Care
How can Chiropractic Care Support my Pregnancy?
Physiological and endocrinological changes occur during pregnancy when creating the environment for the developing baby.
Some physical changes that can result in a misaligned spine or joints:
- Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
- Pelvic changes
- Postural adaptations
- Change in gait
Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is a big reason to have regular chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it can reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint.
Prenatal Chiropractic care supports optimal fetal positioning
If the baby assumes a breech or posterior position, the mother’s ability to have a non-invasive birth is lessened.
