The Benefits Of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy 

Becoming a mother is an amazing and life-altering event, but with your pregnancy comes many things, including hormonal changes, physiological changes, aches, worries, anticipation, and apprehension – just to name a few.

When changes occur in the body during pregnancy, such as an increasing size of the abdomen, they can cause increased back curvature, and change in posture, among other things. Misalignment will also often affect the space that the developing fetus requires in the womb of the would-be mother. This, in turn, could impede natural delivery and may result in breach delivery or C-section.

Chiropractic manipulation ensures the spine remains properly aligned throughout the pregnancy, so the development of the fetus carries on unimpeded and the nervous system is not interfered with. Keeping the spinal cord correctly aligned ensures the body functions optimally during the pregnancy months.

Other Benefits Of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Include:

· Reduces/ Eliminates The Nausea Symptoms – misalignment of the body has a direct impact on the stomach. Regular visits to your chiropractor will ensure that the morning sickness – one of the most dreaded symptoms of pregnancy – is averted or at least kept at the minimum. Most women who have undergone chiropractic treatment during pregnancy have found that the nausea feeling has decreased drastically if not gone.

· Promotes Better Nutrition – chiropractic care can minimize morning sickness in particular and the queasy stomach feeling in general. This, in turn, helps the mother-to-be to eat as normally as possible and ensure that she gets proper nutrition. There is less acidity, less nausea, and better appetite.

· Ability To Exercise – proper alignment of the body will allow the mother-to-be to do enough exercise to keep healthy and fit throughout the pregnancy. Very often, when the spinal curvature increases the body develops pains at various joints, including an acute backache leaving the expectant woman drained out and almost immobile. Proper alignment of the pelvis and spinal cord would ensure that the woman enjoys good health throughout the pregnancy period.

· Reduces Mood Swings – a pregnant woman is at the mercy of the hormones produced in the body, which normally fluctuate through the pregnancy period. This causes sudden mood swings that leave her emotionally drained. Chiropractic care, by ensuring that the body is correctly aligned, ensures that the hormone production is more or less regulated. This, in turn, would significantly reduce the mood swings and in particular depression symptoms that most women experience during this time.
