The Benefits of Adjustments During Pregnancy

pregnancy pain
During a pregnancy, your body is changing. It’s suddenly growing a person inside of you and that means that your body has to expand and compensate in all sorts of ways. A chiropractic adjustment can provide a number of different benefits. Before you schedule your appointment, it’s important to know what’s going to happen and what benefits you can look forward to.

Your center of gravity is changing as the baby grows bigger and bigger. There’s also going to be a lot of pressure on the spine, particularly within the hips, pelvis, and lower back. There’s also a lot of hormonal and chemical reactions taking place – and this is all controlled in the nervous system.
You already know that a healthy spine provides for a healthy nervous system. As such, you want to be sure your spine is in the optimal position so you don’t experience the aches and pains as much. It can also help to provide better nerve signals so that your hormones stay in check.
Many women swear that they have an easier pregnancy when they are going in for chiropractic adjustments. This is because of such benefits as:

  • Proper nerve supply to the reproductive organs
  • Relief of back pain
  • Body is stronger

Due to all of these benefits, women report that they have a faster labor time and many reduce the need for pain medication. Studies have also show that there is a reduced need for forceps or vacuum extraction, which is healthier for the baby. Research has even indicated that many women who go in for chiropractic care during pregnancy are also less likely to suffer from postpartum depression.
All of these are good reasons to visit a chiropractor when pregnant – and even before becoming pregnant. Spinal alignment is important and it’s something that will improve your health entirely. When you have the chiropractic care prior to getting pregnant, you will be balanced and ready to care for the baby that will be growing inside you.
A lot goes on when you’re pregnant and particularly as the baby grows, there’s a lot of shifting going on. The better you can accommodate the shifting, the easier it will be on you. Strengthening your back and removing subluxations of the spine will make it possible for you to get through the nine months without experiencing debilitating back pain. And if it can make your labor and delivery that much easier, it’s worth making an appointment to see how you can benefit from the adjustments.
The most important thing to remember is that an adjustment while pregnant is very different than one if you weren’t pregnant. You also want to make sure you choose to work with a chiropractor who has experience working with pregnant women so that you can take advantage of all the benefits that you are due.
