Chiropractic Care during Pregnancy
March 19, 2010
Chiropractic Care during Pregnancy During pregnancy, weight-bearing changes occur. This can cause an added stress to the spine. Chiropractic care during pregnancy not only can help you to stay more comfortable, but can also help to facilitate your birth. Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown to significantly reduce the length of time a woman labors. First time moms averaged a 24 percent shorter labor, while mothers who have already given birth experienced a 39 percent reduction in the average labor length. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can also reduce the likelihood of experiencing back labor. Regular chiropractic adjustments can safely continue up until the time of birth. It is my personal theory that chiropractic care in pregnancy can help to avoid or relieve back pain and also prepare your back and pelvic structures for the stresses of labor and birth. I will let you know for sure after I have my baby and I will focus in on all the experiences I went through and how chiropractic care helped.
