Chiropractic and Pregnancy
Throughout your pregnancy there will be many physiological and hormonal changes. As your baby grows your musculoskeletal system must adjust accordingly to accommodate the growing uterus and prepare for delivery. Chiropractic can help your body stay aligned and functional as your pregnancy progresses.
Many pregnant women experience low back pain, hip pain and pubic symphysis pain as their centre of gravity changes, increasing the lumbar curve and causing extra strain through the lumbar spinal joints.
Besides increasing a pregnant woman’s comfort level, an aligned pelvis and spine can result in a safer and easier birth. Specific pregnancy techniques, such as the Webster Technique can help the baby get into a proper head-down position by balancing the pelvis and ligaments.
