Chiropractic
Adjustment During Pregnancy
An expectant mother is
called soaptly. There is so much you are expecting - not just bringing to the
world a new life - but also the way your life is going to change forever.
However, few ladies are prepared for the various changes that occur in their
bodies. You would have expected morning sickness, weight gain, and heavier
breasts; but were you prepared for swelling of the legs and arms, elevated
blood pressure, upset stomach, constant pressure on the urinary bladder as the
baby grows inside you, and severe mood swings?
Adjust to the Changes
in Your Body
When the embryo grows,
it places the mother’s lumbar spine and pelvis under ever increasing stress.
Since chiropractic care works on the principle of restoring motion to the spine
to allow your nervous system function better, take advantage of chiropractic
care during pregnancy to enable the reduction of much of
the distress you might be suffering. We try and bring the baby to the optimal
position for a relatively quicker, and painless vaginal delivery by releasing
the tension in the ligaments which attach the uterus to the spine, and support
the growing embryo. No pressure or external force is applied directly to the
baby during such adjustments. Keep in mind that we don’t turn a baby who is
already in a breech position.
Protection during
birthing:
The shorter the labor,
the better it is for both mother and child. This has the double advantage of
reducing the wear and tear of the mother’s body parts, while protecting the
baby from mechanical injury during the birthing.
Get Relief from Back
Pain
Just as some people go
through life without a day’s illness; similarly some ladies sail through their
pregnancy without any morning sickness, aches and pains. However, back pain is
the commonest complaint that expectant mothers suffer. This results from the
center of gravity shifting making you bend backwards to compensate for the
forward shift in your pelvis. By establishing pelvic balance using adjustment
and massage enables the muscles and tendons to relax, which relieves the pain
in your joints, hip, and back.
Ease your breathing: Further,
as your internal organs get squished from the growing baby, your diaphragm is
unable to function properly. The additional weight you are carrying changes
your normal posture. Deep breathing combined with appropriate adjustment would
relieve your distress. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safer because it
is a holistic form of care and rehabilitation.
