Pregnancy is an exciting and emotional time for parents. For Mom, in particular, hormonal, physical and emotional changes can leave her feeling fatigued and in discomfort (to say the least).
What`s a Mom to do?
Here is where Chiropractic care can step in and help.
Why Chiropractic care?
A mother`s spine and pelvis undergoes many postural changes to compensate for her growing baby.
Misalignments of the spine (termed: vertebral subluxations) and their subsequent interference to a mother`s nerve system are increased. Chiropractic care helps reduce this stress and create a state of balance in the bones, muscles, and ligaments that support the pelvis and uterus. Proper balance in these structures optimizes maternal health and function as all her systems are properly co-ordinated.
Other potential benefits of regular Chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Controlling symptoms of nausea
- Reducing labour and delivery times
- Relieving back, neck, and joint pain
- Allowing baby to assume optimal position for labour and delivery
How is this accomplished?
Through the use of the Webster Technique. This is a specific Chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women. It reduces interference to the mother`s nerve system and optimizes balance of pelvic and uterine structures. This may reduce effects of intra-uterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth (thus, increasing Mom`s chances for an easier labour and delivery).
