WHY CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR NEW MOMS IS A GREAT CHOICE
Chiropractic care prior to conception promotes a more regular menstrual cycle and optimal uterine function. It prepares the body to be strong, supple, and as balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy. Restoring proper nerve supply to reproductive organs has helped many couples who thought they were infertile. And adjusting women throughout pregnancy is one of the most rewarding parts of our work, because a healthier pregnancy means an easier labour and delivery, and a better transition for the baby into this life.
A person’s spine is made of 24 moveable bones called vertebrae, plus the sacrum (tailbone), pelvis, and skull. From the brain, nerve impulses travel down the spinal cord, branch out into nerves, and exit between the vertebrae. When the vertebrae become misaligned or unable to move properly a condition called vertebral subluxation, it irritates and interferes with the nerves. The message from the brain is slowed down and the life-energy carried by the nerve is unable to reach the organs and tissues at full potential. A doctor of chiropractic aligns the vertebrae and pelvis through gentle adjustments to the spine, relieving the pressure on the nerves and allowing the full nerve energy to reach the tissues it serves.
As you gain weight, especially in the abdomen, this exerts a downward, forward pull on the lower spine. This extra weight combined with changes in your gait and centre of gravity can set the stage for backache and neck pain. Additionally, as labour approaches, your body secretes a hormone called relaxin, which loosens ligaments. This may exaggerate the effects of an existing spinal or pelvis problem. The positioning of the baby and its movement as well as expansion of the lower part of the ribcage to accommodate your growing baby can also cause discomfort in the ribs and upper portion of the lower back. Additionally, your increasing breast size in preparation for lactation can create upper back subluxations.
According to recent studies, chiropractic care may result in easier pregnancy including increased comfort during the third trimester and delivery and reduced need for analgesics (pain medication). In one study, women receiving chiropractic care through their first pregnancy had 24% reduction in labour times and subjects giving birth for the second or third time reported 39% reduction in shorter labour times. In another study, the need for analgesics was reduced by 50% in the patients who received adjustments. In addition, 84% of women report relief of back pain during pregnancy with chiropractic care. When women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy, the sacroiliac joints of the pelvis function better.

So many thanks for sharing! It is vitally important to have a healthy body and mind to handle the changes and decisions that need to be made while carrying, birthing and raising your child. A pregnant body needs a flexible and balanced spine, hips and pelvis; it needs internal organs without postural stress or nerve stress. Chiropractic care helps ensure that all body systems, especially the reproductive system, function properly.

Chiropractic care has emerged as a preferred choice of treatment as it is a holistic approach that aims to cure the pain naturally unlike traditional medicine that merely suppresses pain perception.

I agree that Chiropractic care helps ensure that all body systems, especially the reproductive system, function properly.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy prepares the body of the mothers not only to accommodate the growth of the baby but as well as after the birth of the child. A friend of mine who is a first time mother had this done before she had the baby and she said that it really helped her to deliver her daughter easily. When the time comes that I be an expecting mom, I would try this treatment to ensure me of better labor.

Chiropractic care is very helpful. It is the safest method to develop our body’s capability to function well. In fact, these kinds of treatments are very useful for many diseases. Although, it does not cure everything, it helps to relieve stress and other ailments.

Chiropractors are indeed very helpful for moms! When I was carrying my first child, I dealt with severe back pain. My friend referred a chiropractor to me and she helped a lot! The back pain was gone after a few sessions and I can feel my mood lighten up. I know my healthy baby was the result of the stress-free pregnancy that I had. :)
