As wonderful as pregnancy can be, there are also some major downsides, including nausea, back pain, and hip pain. Fortunately, prenatal adjustments are available from our team at Schofield Chiropractic Group in Cedar Falls to help you fully enjoy your pregnancy journey.

Why You Should Seek Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy

Why is something as beautiful as carrying another life so painful at times? As frustrating as it can be, the answer actually lies within the question: you are carrying another life. Your body is adjusting to the demands of pregnancy, which causes changes in the back and pelvic area. Additionally, the weight of the baby puts excess pressure on the back, hip joints, and other areas.

While these are natural occurrences during pregnancy, they can lead to some unnatural and undesirable consequences. The excess pressure can cause spinal misalignment, which can result in lumbar pain, nerve constriction, and more. It goes a bit beyond that, though, and can cause something no pregnant mother wants to experience: a long labor and delivery time.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

When pelvic alignment is impacted, it interferes with the baby’s journey through the birth canal, making it more difficult and painful to have the baby naturally. The good news is that you have the power to change all of this through chiropractic adjustments. In addition to all of the other benefits adjustments provide, they also provide the following for pregnant women:

Reducing lumbar pain by utilizing back pain treatments that address the root of the pain, take undue pressure off the spine, and relieve tension and nerve constriction.

Obtaining proper pelvic alignment to provide you and your baby with the smoothest and fastest birth possible.

Improving the baby’s position to ensure the safest journey through the birth canal and reduce the possibility of needing a C-section.
