Pre and Post-Partum Chiropractic Care

Perinatal chiropractic, meaning chiropractic care before conception, during pregnancy, and post-partum, can be a tremendous help for moms.  Because chiropractic care helps your nervous system function optimally, it can also help your reproductive system work optimally.  A healthy nervous system as well as proper nutritional counseling and stress reduction can help create a more fertile ground for conception.

While you are pregnant, your body goes through many physical and hormonal changes.  Changes in your center of gravity, relaxed ligaments, and excess weight gain can all put strain and stress on your skeletal system.  Chiropractic helps to keep your pelvis aligned and relaxed which helps with baby positioning, decreased low back pain, and shortened labor times (click to see research).  Help to take the stress off your pregnancy by getting regular adjustments during this time in your life.

Post-partum care is often most important and most overlooked for new moms.  After having your baby, your body spends the next several months tightening up those relaxed ligaments and getting your body to feel like it did before pregnancy.  This is the perfect time to properly align your body through chiropractic care so that everything goes back into the proper position.  Additionally, the lack of sleep, constant breast feeding and carrying of your child can really affect your body.  Most women experience upper back pain and neck pain which can be remedied by regular post-partum adjustments.  Help your body adapt to the new changes of motherhood through chiropractic care!
