Chiropractic Care for the Whole Family
Back pain is very common among pregnant women. As the body changes and the baby develops, new and additional strain is placed on the mother’s musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. As the pregnancy continues, this strain increases. It also becomes more difficult to perform certain stretches and exercises.
If you are pregnant and struggling with back pain, we can help.
Watkins Family Chiropractic offers effective chiropractic treatment that is safe for both you and the child you carry. We have worked with many expecting mothers since opening our doors in Savage, Minnesota, providing much needed relief during and after their pregnancies. For prenatal chiropractic services, contact us today.
The Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is one of the safest ways to treat pain and tension during pregnancy. Unlike pain medication, which travels into the developing baby’s blood system, chiropractic adjustments treat the mother’s pain without negatively affecting the baby.
While pain management is the primary reason that expecting mothers seek chiropractic care, it isn’t the only benefit of prenatal adjustments.
Optimal Fetal Positioning
Correct alignment of the pelvis can help create an optimal environment for the baby’s growth and development. Prenatal chiropractic care can help maintain proper pelvic alignment, reducing the likelihood of breech or posterior positioning.
Improved Nervous System Function
The nervous system plays a vital role in overall health and well-being. Gentle chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can enhance nervous system function, benefiting both the mother and the developing baby.
Shorter Labor and Delivery
Misalignments in the pelvis and spine can affect the efficiency of labor and delivery. Prenatal chiropractic care can improve pelvic alignment which can potentially result in shorter labor times.
Postpartum Recovery
Life after pregnancy comes with its own challenges. The labor process puts a lot of stress on the body, especially the back and hips. This is why postpartum chiropractic care is just as important as prenatal care.
Chiropractic adjustments can aid in restoring the body’s natural alignment, promoting faster healing while helping mothers adapt to the physical demands of caring for their newborn.
