Chiropractic Care Helps Ease the Pains of Pregnancy
Studies show between 50% to 80% of women experience some form of back or hip pain – ranging from mild to severe -- during their pregnancy. This pain can continue after pregnancy and become a chronic issue if not properly addressed.
Chiropractic care of women throughout their pregnancy is proven to provide greater comfort and more uncomplicated deliveries, optimizing health for both Mom and Baby.
The most effective chiropractic technique for helping mothers through their pregnancy is Atlas Orthogonal upper cervical chiropractic care – gentle adjustments with no popping or cracking. Because it is gentle, precise, safe and painless, this treatment helps to provide comfort and pain relief to pregnant mothers.
As a woman’s body adapts to pregnancy through structural adaptation, weight gain and pressure on the vertebrae segments of the low spine and sacroiliac joints can cause low back pain. Pressure on the bladder, urethra, rectum, and the pelvic structures can also cause pain.
A large percentage of expectant mothers also experience low back pain in their third trimester. That’s because the hormone relaxin, along with progesterone and estrone, is released through the body in preparation for the birth. These hormones circulating through the body can also cause pain and discomfort.
Receiving regular chiropractic care, particularly Atlas Orthogonal gentle upper cervical care, before and during pregnancy can relieve some of the body’s aches and pains. Gentle chiropractic care also helps with a healthier pregnancy and delivery by helping the baby assume an optimal birthing position, reducing the risk of having a breech birth, and reducing deliveries requiring the use forceps or vacuum extraction.
Atlas Orthogonal is also proven to be effective and safe in treating patients with migraines, neck and back pain, digestive issues, fatigue, vertigo, sciatica and other health issues.
Your pregnancy is unique and special and meant to be joyous. Find more comfort and pain relief with regular chiropractic and spinal care.
