Growing a child is one of the most amazing experiences for many women, but it does not come without challenges! Pregnancy physically changes almost all elements of a woman’s body often causing joint and muscle pains. Verity Health Center in Tallahassee, Florida offers chiropractic care for pregnant women. According to the American Pregnancy Association, regular chiropractic care can improve pregnancy-related pain and systems like low back pain, morning sickness, and swelling.
Reduce Back Pain Caused by Pregnancy
The National Pregnancy Association states that 50-70% of pregnant women will experience lower back pain. You can reduce your back pain with regular prenatal chiropractic care.
Pregnancy Increases Joint and Muscle Pain
Many factors increase the likelihood of lower back pain and annoying symptoms during pregnancy. If you know anyone who has been pregnant, they will most likely tell you in the third trimester they could no longer see their feet, let alone tie their shoes or shave without assistance! Why is that? Your spine is often the culprit when it comes to pain and symptoms during pregnancy, including morning sickness! Getting rid of morning sickness alone would be a game changer for many expecting moms.
Throughout pregnancy, hormones are released to allow joints and ligaments around the pelvic area to loosen as the body prepares for childbirth. Hormones and increase in weight can cause your spine to change in curvature up to 41% which impacts your entire nervous system. After all, your whole body is connected to your spine! Aligning your spine and optimizing the function of your nervous system reduces the likelihood of morning sickness, heartburn, swelling and back pain.
Chiropractic Care Can Improve Pregnancy Pains Before and After Childbirth
Chiropractic care before, during, and after pregnancy will optimize your spinal structure leading to the optimal function of your body! It’s not just about how your body looks, but how it functions. Our pregnancy chiropractic services can improve the function of your body decreasing morning sickness, swelling, heartburn, lower back pain and sciatica.
During Pregnancy
Mitigate the stress on your spine with regular prenatal chiropractic care.
Throughout your pregnancy, you can expect your hormones to change, your weight to increase, and your posture to shift. Your hormones actively loosen your joints and ligaments to prepare your pelvic area for childbirth. As you gain weight it will shift your center of gravity forward causing you to stand and walk differently. Consistent chiropractic care can help alleviate any stress on your spine by maintaining proper alignment! Aligning your spine improves the functioning of your nervous system helping decrease your morning sickness, heartburn and swelling.
During and After Childbirth
Reduce the pain and risk of complications during labor with prenatal chiropractic care.
Many of our patients say that chiropractic care prior to childbirth helped reduce the length and pains of labor because their hips and pelvis were aligned correctly. If mom and baby are properly aligned, it just makes the process easier and reduces the risks of complications. We are sure expectant mothers would welcome the idea of no complications! Your spine can also be turned during childbirth, so it is a great idea to see your Tallahassee chiropractor after childbirth to get everything back into alignment.
