Pregnancy, Postpartum & Chiropractic Care
Why Do Pregnant and Postpartum Women See Chiropractors?
Pregnancy places immense pressure on a woman’s body, causing a shift in posture and often leading to back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica. Hormonal changes can loosen ligaments, making joints more prone to dysfunction. Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive way to relieve these discomforts, ensuring proper spinal alignment and supporting overall pelvic health during pregnancy. Postpartum, women often experience additional challenges as their bodies recover from childbirth, including lower back pain, pelvic misalignment, and muscle tension from nursing and lifting their babies. Chiropractic care helps women regain their strength and alignment during this recovery phase.
The benefits of Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy and Postpartum
Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy help maintain pelvic balance and alignment, creating an optimal environment for the baby’s development and potentially leading to an easier, smoother delivery. Postpartum chiropractic care may expedite recovery by addressing spinal dysfunction, improving pelvic floor function, and reducing pain associated with childbirth. Many pregnant women also find that chiropractic care reduces symptoms such as nausea and improves their overall comfort, especially during the later stages of pregnancy.

This visit is designed to give you a better understanding of where your health is currently and how we may help correct any underlying issues long term.
