How Can Chiropractic Care Benefit Pregnant Women?
There are many ways in which if you are pregnant you can benefit from Chiropractic Care. Our goals as a Chiropractic office for you are to ease areas of discomfort and promote a more stable pelvis. W will assess your spine and pelvic joints to see if there are certain areas that are not moving as easily as they could or should be.
In order to help you better understand how chiropractic work can help you let us explain how your pelvis works. The pelvis is essentially a ring made up of four bones. These four bones are held together by many ligaments and connective tissue. Relaxin, the hormone released during pregnancy, is released in the body from early on in the pregnancy to soften these ligaments and allow better passage of the baby during labour and birth. However what can happen later on in the pregnancy is that the ligaments overstretch.The Sacroiliac joints (where the sacrum meets the pelvis) can become too movable making walking quite difficult. A Chiropractic adjustment will allow the sacroiliac joints to move in a normal position helping pregnant women to walk more easily. During this adjustment the Chiropractor will use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen.
