Helping Moms-to-Be
From dealing with back pain to morning sickness, pregnant women experience dramatic physical and emotional changes during pregnancy. Chiropractic care is drug-free and completely natural. Whether you just found out you’re expecting or are in your third trimester, you can benefit from being under care.
Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe for Pregnant Women?
Routine chiropractic treatment during pregnancy is actually quite helpful for both mother and baby. The gentle and non-invasive techniques provided by a chiropractor are proven to help alleviate pain and reduce stress on muscular joints. Further, keeping regular appointments can also help align the pelvis for an easier delivery. However, if you have a high-risk pregnancy or experience severe pain, it is always a good idea to double-check with your doctor before scheduling a chiropractic appointment.
Reasons to See Pham During Pregnancy
There are numerous reasons why a woman might opt for chiropractic care during pregnancy. Some feel it is a good preventative method for keeping the aches of the eventual third trimester away, so they schedule regular appointments from the moment they first find out they’re expecting. Others go when they’re further along to help reduce inflammation and improve range of motion as the size and shape of their bodies evolve with the growth of the baby.
It is important to note that not all chiropractors accept patients who are pregnant. The reason for this is that they do not want the liability if something should happen, even though chiropractic care is incredibly safe during pregnancy. So, the same doctor you’ve trusted for years might not be the one who ultimately treats you through the birth of your baby. Before you schedule an appointment, double-check that this is an area they specialize in and if not, who they recommend for prenatal chiropractic care.
