Can You See a Chiropractor When Pregnant?

Chiropractic care is safe for pregnant women, according to the American Pregnancy Association, as chiropractors undergo training to adjust pregnant women.

Some chiropractors receive extra training and specializations, although it is not required.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

You may associate chiropractic care with back pain, and certainly prenatal chiropractic care helps to ease lower back and sciatic pain, but there are many more benefits!

Regular adjustments can reduce headaches and nausea during pregnancy.

As your body changes, pressure increases on your spine and pelvic floor. Chiropractic adjustments help realign your spine. These adjustments take pressure off your core and pelvic floor.

Many women find themselves giving up activities they enjoy because of discomfort. Enjoy the hobbies you love with fewer restrictions by incorporating prenatal chiropractic care.

Regular appointments help support your body throughout your entire pregnancy. Feel the best you can during this exciting time.

Nearing your due date, and the baby isn’t shifting downward? Chiropractic adjustments can help a stubborn baby reposition in the womb.

When to See a Chiropractor During Pregnancy

You can see a chiropractor as soon as you find out you are pregnant, unless otherwise instructed by your OB/GYN.

Keep consistent appointments throughout your entire pregnancy for the biggest benefit.

You can start with monthly visits at first. Then you can increase to bi-weekly, and finally weekly as you approach your due date.

How Chiropractic Care Impacts Labor and Delivery

Prenatal chiropractic care reaches far past conception and gestation. Regular visits lead to a reduced risk of pre-term labor. It can also minimize the chance of a C-section delivery.

Consistent adjustments help realign your hips and pelvis for a smoother delivery.

If the mother wants to pursue a natural delivery, routine prenatal care can help make this a reality.

The care you give your body during pregnancy stretches into postpartum. A woman who receives regular chiropractic care has an easier recovery.
