A Healthy Pregnancy With Chiropractic Care | Prenatal Chiropractor in West Omaha, NE
Hey there, I’m Dr. Jeremiah Sample from Family First Chiropractic. Today, I’m here to address an important question: Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy? According to the American Pregnancy Association, it’s incredibly safe and highly effective in reducing low back pain, alleviating pregnancy discomfort, and even aiding the delivery process.
How Pregnancy Affects the Body
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes:
- Hormonal Changes: The release of pregnancy hormones causes the body to become more flexible but also leads to misalignments in the spine and pelvis.
- Pelvic Misalignment: This can impact posture and place pressure on the uterus, affecting the baby’s growth, a condition known as intrauterine constraint.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
- Proper Pelvic Alignment: A chiropractic adjustment ensures that the hips remain in alignment, allowing the body to move as it should.
- Increased Flexibility: It improves lumbar spine flexibility and balances the pelvic muscles.
- Enhanced Blood Flow: Proper alignment enhances blood flow, promoting better health for both mother and baby.
- Easier Delivery: By maintaining a properly aligned spine and pelvis, chiropractic care can lead to a safer and more comfortable delivery.
