Pregnancy affects the body in many different ways. For example, as a baby grows and develops, you are more likely to deal with spinal issues and pain. It’s a myth that expectant mothers shouldn’t visit a chiropractor to help manage these issues. In fact, chiropractic maternal care offers many benefits to an expectant mother to help deal with spinal issues related to pregnancy.
To help protect the baby and not add unnecessary stress or discomfort, chiropractic practices for pregnant women look a little different than what you’d typically expect from a chiropractic treatment. For example, one key consideration for chiropractic maternal care is not putting pressure on the abdomen. Chiropractic treatment for pregnant women includes modifying the chiropractic table, adding cushions and pillows, and utilizing different positions to help keep both mother and baby safe.
Your chiropractor will always take special care to make sure you are safe during your treatment and that you don’t have to be concerned for your baby’s health during the treatment process. Chiropractic care helps correct misalignments and can also alleviate neck pain, reduce pregnancy-related nausea, and more, so it’s in your best interest to meet with a chiropractor throughout your pregnancy.

You can count on our maternal care practices for safe and effective treatment to help reduce stress on the body as much as possible.
