Pregnancy – How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Pregnancy marks a profound journey of transformation, not just physically, but emotionally and hormonally as well. Nurturing your body during this time is paramount, regardless of whether it’s your first or fifth pregnancy.
Navigating the plethora of information during this period can be daunting – from choosing hospitals to crafting birth plans and monitoring vitamin intake. Often, musculoskeletal care takes a backseat until discomfort becomes overwhelming. Yet, with early intervention through chiropractic care, these transitions can be made smoother.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy? Absolutely. Tailored to your body’s unique needs and changes, chiropractic treatments are deemed safe and beneficial throughout all trimesters.
Among the common discomforts addressed is pelvic girdle pain, stemming from the increased mobility of pelvic joints during pregnancy. This can lead to discomfort around the pelvis, affecting the pelvic floor muscles crucial for childbirth. Chiropractic adjustments ensure proper pelvic function, promoting a relaxed pelvic floor.
Pubic symphysis pain, often overlooked, is another issue addressed. Chiropractic adjustments realign the pubic symphysis, alleviating discomfort and ensuring proper positioning.
Round ligament pain, a unique aspect of pregnancy, is also treated. Chiropractors release tension in the ligament, reducing the risk of strain and sharp pain.
Rib pain, resulting from the shifting position of ribs and additional strain from childcare duties, is a common concern. Chiropractic care offers relief by addressing rib mobility and body mechanics.
