As a soon-to-be mum, you are likely exploring different ways to make your pregnancy journey as comfortable as possible. If chiropractic care is one of your options but you aren’t sure how it can benefit you, here’s what you need to know.
What happens to your body during pregnancy?
Although it is a wonderful experience for most women, pregnancy can also bring major challenges as your body goes through many changes. As a result, you may start to feel pain and discomfort, particularly in your back and pelvis, as you come closer to childbirth.
Chiropractic benefits during pregnancy
1. Relieves body pain
The weight of your growing baby can take a toll on your weight and gradually change the alignment of your body. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help reduce both back and pelvic pain.
2. Healthier pregnancy
Pregnancy creates an emotional change, especially for first-time mums. With chiropractic adjustment, the stress can become more manageable and promote overall wellness for you and your little one.
3. Better quality of sleep
One of the biggest dilemmas for mums is sleeping while they are pregnant, resulting in endless trying of sleeping positions. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate the pain by realigning the spine and pelvis, promoting a comfortable and better quality of sleep.
4. Improves baby positioning
Chiropractic adjustments can also help stimulate oxytocin in your body to encourage the baby to descend into the birth canal.
In addition, chiropractic care can also help soon-to-be mums get ready for their child delivery experience by reducing pelvic pain.
