How Chiropractic Care Is Beneficial for Pregnancies

Aches and pains can be part of the pregnancy experience for many women. At Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness, Dr. Cacic provides pain relief for expecting mothers.

Chiropractic Care Benefits

With so many hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy, it’s no wonder that your comfort and posture shifts. As the baby becomes heavier, your center of gravity will also shift and your posture will need to adjust. These changes can lead to misaligned joints and spine. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help with these issues by adjusting your alignment and reestablishing a balance to your spine and pelvis.

Chiropractic care can also help control nausea and relieve the pain you feel in your hips, back, joints, and neck. The chiropractor can also provide some stretches that you can do on your own to help ease discomfort and relieve the tension. Chiropractic care helps strengthen your immune system as well. The healthier your immune system, the better your baby’s immune system will be.

Benefits for the Baby

Not only is chiropractic care helpful for pregnancy pains but it also has some benefits for the baby. If your pelvis is out of alignment, it may restrict the amount of space available for your developing baby. This may lead to birth defects. Problems with delivery may also occur due to a misaligned pelvis. It can make it harder for your baby to be moved into the ideal position for birth. Such a restriction may mean it affects your ability to have a noninvasive and natural birth. This can also lead to a more complicated and longer delivery.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care doesn't involve any surgery or medication, which makes it a great option during pregnancy. You should always get your doctor’s approval before getting any chiropractic care during pregnancy. It may not be recommended if you have any bleeding, modern toxemia, or ectopic pregnancy. Dr. Cacic at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness will not use any techniques that put pressure on your abdomen.
