Pregnancy radically changes the body. And while it is a blessing, it can also be uncomfortable. According to Dr. Locke Zayne of FIXIN’ You Chiropractic in Corsicana, TX, pregnancy chiropractic care can not only ease pain for the mother-to-be; it also promotes an easier delivery.
The Benefits of a Pregnancy Chiropractic Visit
Prenatal chiropractic treatments can help ease discomfort and improve stability and mobility as the body changes during pregnancy. A chiropractor can help maintain proper spinal and joint alignment to prevent aches and pains and relieve nerve discomfort.
Adjustment to your spine will provide necessary nervous system support, which helps to reduce or prevent other prenatal conditions that include –
- Morning Sickness.
- Headaches.
- Swelling.
- Sciatica.
Ensuring proper spinal alignment during pregnancy can help improve the functioning of the mother’s nervous system, which leads to better hormonal regulation for the mother and the baby. Options that contribute to a more comfortable and healthier pregnancy include stretching and hot or cold therapies.
Consistent chiropractic care during pregnancy has the potential to decrease the need for medical interventions or procedures during childbirth. By maintaining an optimal alignment of your pelvis, chiropractic adjustments can help support a quicker and more natural labor process.
How often should you see your chiropractor when pregnant?
Getting adjusted while pregnant is similar to any other chiropractic session, except the chiropractor may take a few extra precautions into account.
Each pregnancy is a distinct journey, so the needs of the expecting mother and her baby can and do vary. Generally, it is sensible for the mother to receive chiropractic adjustments once a month during the initial and middle pregnancy stages.
As your due date approaches, increasing the frequency of pregnancy chiropractic care visits is typical. However, it's important that if there are any complications during the pregnancy, this may require a change in the frequency of visits to Dr. Zayne.
Chiropractic care often includes lifestyle and nutritional counseling to help with pain relief. This holistic approach helps ensure that expectant mothers receive the comprehensive care they require to support their overall health.
