Why Pelvic Alignment Matters in Pregnancy

When the pelvis is misaligned, it may reduce the room available for the developing baby. That restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it more difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on spinal and pelvic function so the body can better accommodate those changes. The work is to restore more normal joint motion and reduce stress on the spine, pelvis, and surrounding nerves.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help During Pregnancy

Many physicians and midwives recommend chiropractic care as a conservative option for mid-back pain, low-back pain, sciatica, and other aches associated with pregnancy.

Prenatal chiropractic care may also be used to help with:

-Maintaining a healthier pregnancy

-Controlling symptoms of nausea

-Increasing the likelihood of full-term delivery

-Reducing the time of labor and delivery

-Relieving back, neck or joint pain

-Preventing a potential cesarean section
