Chiropractic care can be beneficial throughout your pregnancy.  However, it is ideal to begin care during preconception to have a solid foundation for a healthy and easy pregnancy.

Early on in pregnancy, the body undergoes dynamic changes in order to adapt for a growing baby. One of the biggest changes seen is the body’s center of gravity. This forward shift creates an imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments of the spine and pelvis. This imbalance leads to nervous system stress which can affect the body’s ability to function optimally.

As the baby continues to grow, the curve in the lower back and middle back change, the pelvis opens, and the ribcage expands. All these adaptations are very important as they help ensure there is plenty of room for a growing baby, but also put mom at a greater risk for pelvic misalignment. A chiropractor plays an important role in the health of a mother during this time by re-establishing natural position and mobility of joints allowing for an easier and more comfortable labor and delivery process.

We also incorporate BIRTHFIT® exercises, Spinning Babies and Craniosacral Therapy with Chiropractic care whenever necessary.
