Chiropractic for Expectant mothers
Chiropractors work with the body’s ability to adapt and function the way God designed it to. Perinatal Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.
In the mother:
Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments.
Removes tension of the ligaments that support the uterus thus potentially reducing aberrant tension to the woman’s uterus.
Reduces interference to the mother’s vital nerve system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions.
By improving maternal function we are decreasing the potential for unnecessary intervention.
To the infant:
Reduces interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development.
Pelvic balance allows the baby greater room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures.
Offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth.
With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.
Moms are numb during labor these days (epidurals or c-sections), disconnected from the process by technology and procedures, meanwhile extreme force is being used on babies. Dystocia is most common indication for c-sections (50-60%). Dystocia: slowed labor, resistance to normal function in birth, failure to progress.
“The theoretical and clinical framework of chiropractic in the care of pregnant women is that sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e. dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. The correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.”
Common Mechanical & Neurological Dysfunctions with Spinal Associations:
SI Joint Dysfunction
Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction
Lumbar Low Back Pain
Sciatic Neuralgia
Coccydonia
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Intercostal Neuralgia
Brachial Plexus Syndrome
Leg cramps
Constipation
Hemorrhoids
Swelling
Headaches
Nausea
Premature labor
“Overdue”
Our role in reducing stress in pregnancy and birth:
Reduce nerve interference to allow the body to adapt more efficiently to all stresses.
Nurture and support the mother’s confidence of normal physiology and how it is enhanced with chiropractic care.
Offer education and resources for natural birthing and supportive care providers.
Emphasize the chiropractic, vitalistic philosophy: the innate intelligence of the body KNOWS.
If you are pregnant or considering becoming a parent please contact us so that we can help make this the best experience possible, after all birth happens once! Give us a call and schedule an appointment today.
