Prenatal Care

Morning sickness, nausea, eventual vomiting, pelvic pain, not to mention the usual body aches, as well as the hip and back pain; this is a short list of some of the issues that women have to endure during pregnancy. Rather than suffer and tolerate the difficulties, relief can be acquired with a visit to the chiropractor’s office.

Chiropractic care involves the maintenance of a healthy spinal column and the adjustment and readjustment of misaligned joints. This care is best at ensuring that the pelvic is well positioned to ensure easy birth. In addition, it is important that the mother continues receiving this care even after her pregnancy. This will go a long way in correcting the position of the pelvic which is stretched by relaxing hormone in order to facilitate the birth process. The post birth care will certainly play a crucial role in reducing the numerous cases of back pains even after birth.

Most women do not know whether they can seek the services of a chiropractor even when the back pain intensifies. But with the flexion/distraction table, it has now become easier to eliminate the back pains. This table has a piece at the middle which can be dropped down thus allowing the pregnant women to comfortably lie face down. Upon lying on this special table that also comes with two handles to hold onto, the woman’s legs will be strapped and the lower back of the table will be flexed thus stretching their lower back muscles. This non-drug approach has ensured that women can enjoy their pregnancy periods without having to undergo procedures that may pose a threat to their safety or that of the baby.
