Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses in your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and lifestyle improvements.

 

As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus.

 

Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often times, constraint to the uterus affects the baby's head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. The head may be slightly tilted off to one side or even more traumatically, present in the posterior position creating harder births. (May - June 2002 ICPA Newsletter Patient Insert)

 

From the normal negotiation down the birth canal, to drug intervention of the mother, to the extreme mechanical force of manual, forceps and/or vacuum extraction, the infants spine is dealing with tremendous stresses. The best time to be checked by a chiropractor is at birth. Subluxation of the spine diminishes the energy or life force that travels trough the nerve system.

 

Your child's spine and nerve system can be safely analyzed and adjusted from the day they are born. The birth process is often the first occurrence of subluxation. The trauma that occurs during the birth process can be severe. Parents who bring their babies and children to get adjusted report an improvement of their physical state, mental emotional state, stress evaluation, life enjoyment and overall quality of life.

 

Having your spine and nerve system checked and cleared of interference can help people of all ages, but especially children due to the extremely accelerated growth process. A clear nerve system is vital for proper function, communication and healing throughout the body.
