Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy and Postpartum

​

1.  Balances the Pelvis

A Doctor of Chiropractic will work specifically with the pelvis throughout pregnancy to restore and maintain balance and create an environment for an easier, quicker, and safer delivery.

2.  Improves Nervous System

Chiropractic adjustments reduce interference to the nervous system, allowing the body to function at its maximum potential.

3.  The Spine

The biomechanical changes of the spine during pregnancy can cause stressors in the body leading to pain and discomfort; including neck, back, low back, leg pain, sciatica, heel and foot pain, pubic pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers, and headaches.​  While postpartum recovery can be long and frustrating, chiropractic can help ease many facets of the healing process.  By correcting imbalances in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems through spinal adjustments, chiropractic care can help women in the postpartum period ease pain, regain mobility, and start feeling like themselves again.

4. Aids in Recovery

​Chiropractic care can help a woman's body return to pre-pregnancy normal more quickly after the multitude of changes that occur during pregnancy and birth.

​5.  Assists with Nursing

While nursing, many women experience discomfort in the neck and upper back.  Chiropractic adjustments can ease this pain.
