Pregnancy is one of the most important times to see a chiropractor! From the moment you conceive the body starts a chain reaction of changes due to the cascade of various hormones. Some are easy to see and others relate to changes in posture and position leading to discomfort.
As weight is gained, a downward pressure is exerted on the pelvis and lower spine and with the secretion on the hormone relaxin the ligaments in the body become further flexible. This can lead to tremondous vulnerability to strain in the lower back and pelvic joints as well overworked muscles which support these structures.
According to recent studies, chiropractic care can improve comfort levels in the second and third trimesters as well reduction for need of anelgesics during delivery.
Chiropractic care can also assist new moms with postitional stress associated with breast feeding and postural strain caring for a newborn.
