Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
During pregnancy the muscles around the walls of the uterus tighten, especially when the pelvis is imbalanced. Chiropractic adjustments to the pelvis release this tension and allow the baby to move freely and assume the best position for birth. I use gentle methods during my adjustments that are very safe for both mother and baby. Listed below are some additional benefits of chiro care during pregnancy.
Removes interferences to the nervous system and promotes normal functions of the body.
Encourages the pelvis and uterus to move freely so the baby can descend into the birth canal.
Balances the pelvis so the baby’s movements are supported.
Can promote better sleep and improve digestion & reflux.
Birth is oh so magical, but also hard on your body. Chiropractic care after pregnancy is one the best ways to speed up your body’s process of moving everything back into it’s pre-baby place. It also helps ease some of the stress on those new, baby-holding muscles.
