FAQS
CAN A PREGNANT WOMEN BE TREATED?
Absolutely. It is encouraged. Chiropractic is very gentle and can really help with your pregnancy as well as your birth. You can be treated from the time of trying to get pregnant until birth. When you are pregnant, treatment can help with things from aches and pains as your hormone levels and body is changing, to adding strength to make birth and postpartum recovery easier.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC AFTER BIRTH?
The post-natal period is hugely under spoken about. There are so many transitions happening in life as well as to your body. You are not sleeping, you may be breastfeeding, you are holding a baby or babies, your body just went through a traumatic experience, and the list goes on. The symptoms of low back pain during pregnancy usually turn to mid back and neck pain post birth. These are all things we help with.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC DURING PREGNANCY?
Something pregnant women often times complain about is low back pain. This is extremely common. As your stomach starts to grow, your center of mass changes, bringing you low back into extension which causes many women pain. There is also a hormonal change that creates more elasticity in your ligaments causing more movement than you are used to. Chiropractic and small rehabilitation exercises can really help this.
WILL MY BIRTH BE EASIER BECAUSE OF TREATMENT?
This is very possible. Aligning your hips and pelvis in an optimal position can open the birth canal to make birth easier. Pelvic floor and stability exercises before birth can also help while pushing.
