During
pregnancy, there are many physiological and hormonal changes that occur in
preparation for creating an environment for a developing baby. A
protruding abdomen, increased low back curvature, and postural adaptations
often result in misaligned spine or joints.
What
are the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?
- Reducing the time and/or labor of delivery
- Relieving back, neck and/or joint pain
- Controlling symptoms of nausea
- Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
- Preventing a potential cesarean section
What
about chiropractic & breech deliveries?
When
the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the
developing baby, called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis
makes it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for
delviery.
The Webster Technique, having
an 83% success rate, is a specific adjustment that enables chiropractors to
establish balance in the pelvis and reduce undue stress to the uterus and
supporting ligaments. This balanced state in the pelvis makes it easier
for a breech baby to turn naturally. Optimal baby positioning at the time
of birth also eliminates the potential for difficult labor and therefore
results in easier and safer deliveries for both the mother and baby.
