Pregnancy-Related Pain

​

Pregnancy is a significant period of postural, hormonal, and physiological changes. As the fetus grows, both its size and weight increase rapidly, altering the mother's body shape. This includes an increased lumbar curve (lordosis) and weight gain, which can contribute to pain in the pelvis and thoracic vertebrae.

 

Fetal Positioning

 

The fetus may sometimes struggle to position itself head down, which is the optimal position for childbirth, benefiting both the mother and the baby.

What to Expect from Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

​

Chiropractic treatment enhances joint mobility, promoting daily comfort and well-being. It is particularly beneficial during pregnancy, as it offers a natural and effective alternative to pain relief, especially when medication use must be approached with caution.

Chiropractic sessions can also facilitate labor and delivery by ensuring optimal pelvic joint function.

After childbirth, chiropractors help correct musculoskeletal dysfunctions related to pregnancy, preventing persistent pain. They also examine newborns to identify potential joint misalignments caused by labor conditions or fetal positioning in the womb.
