How does pregnancy affect spinal and pelvic health, leading to discomfort and pain for expectant mothers?
Pregnancy brings significant changes to a woman’s body, including shifts in posture and weight distribution due to the growing baby. The added weight forward shifts the center of gravity, leading to increased stress on the lower spine, facet joints & sacroiliac joints. This can result in lumbar lordosis, which exacerbates lower back pain. Additionally, the biomechanical changes can affect other spinal curves, potentially causing mid-back, upper back, shoulder & neck pain. Hormonal changes during pregnancy, such as increased progesterone, oxytocin & estrogen can further impact pelvic stability. The pressure on pelvic structures can contribute to discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown to provide relief from low back pain for 84% of women, leading to more comfortable labor experiences and reduced labor times. In some cases, it even reduces the need for painkillers during labor.
How does chiropractic care affect the baby during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care primarily focuses on the mother’s health and alignment, but it can indirectly benefit the baby by creating a more supportive environment for growth and development. A well-aligned pelvis may also improve fetal positioning for birth.
More specifically, many healthcare practitioners believe that misalignments in the pelvis can limit the space available for the baby’s development, potentially leading to complications such as breech positioning. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to help align the pelvis and surrounding ligaments, which could support optimal fetal positioning for a healthier and more natural delivery. Additionally, the American Pregnancy Association suggests that chiropractic care can be successful in preparing the pelvis for labor, potentially improving fetal positioning. If you have questions or concerns about this, it’s advisable to discuss them with your chiropractor or healthcare provider. Numerous studies have found the benefits of chiropractic for you and your baby.
When should I consider seeking chiropractic care during pregnancy?
You can seek chiropractic care at any point during your pregnancy. Many women find it beneficial to start chiropractic adjustments before discomfort or pain becomes severe. However, it’s never too late to begin care & our chiropractors can provide relief and support at any stage.
Are there any specific chiropractic techniques used during pregnancy?
Our Chiropractors use specialised techniques for pregnant women, such as the Webster Technique, which focuses on pelvic alignment. These techniques are designed to be safe and effective for expectant mothers.
How often should I schedule chiropractic appointments during pregnancy?
The frequency of chiropractic appointments can vary depending on your individual needs and the chiropractor’s recommendations. Some women choose to have regular adjustments throughout their pregnancy and after birth for recovery, while others may seek care on an as-needed basis. Our pregnancy chiropractors can help create a customised care plan based on your specific situation and goals by starting your free phone assessment now.
Can chiropractic care help with breech babies or other positioning concerns?
Expert prenatal chiropractic care, particularly the Webster Technique, is known for its success in helping with breech positioning. It involves specific adjustments to the pelvis that can encourage optimal fetal positioning. Discuss any concerns about your baby’s position with our pregnancy chiropractors with your free assessment now.
