The Importance of a Chiropractor in Prenatal Care

Chiropractic care is an effective alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating problems affecting the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. It is a practice that can also benefit pregnant women, helping relieve the symptoms that come with pregnancy and promoting a more comfortable delivery. At Cedar Springs Family Chiropractic in Cedar Springs, we provide prenatal chiropractic care services. Our prenatal chiropractor, Dr. Buck, encourages pregnant women to include chiropractic care in their prenatal care for improved health and wellness.

Reduce Back Pain

Most pregnant women experience back pain during their pregnancy, which can be caused by the weight of the growing baby creating pressure on the spine. Our chiropractor can adjust your spine to relieve the pain and tension, allowing you to feel more comfortable.

Reduce Symptoms Associated with Pregnancy

Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can help with the alignment of the spine, which in turn reduces the pressure on the nerves and helps alleviate morning sickness. That way, you can have a more enjoyable pregnancy. During pregnancy, you go through different emotions as your body goes through several changes. Chiropractic care will also help you relax and become more comfortable with your body.

Help Prevent a Breech Pregnancy

The positioning of the baby in the uterus can affect his or her birth. If the baby is positioned in a breech position, it can complicate labor and delivery. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy will encourage the baby to drop into the correct position. That can help ensure a safer and smoother delivery.

Promote Improved Labor and Easier Delivery

Women who receive prenatal chiropractic care have been shown to have shorter, less complicated labors and deliveries. Chiropractic care can help promote natural childbirth by easing your tension and pain, therefore allowing you to be more comfortable during labor. It can also ensure proper alignment of the spine, pelvis, hips, and nerves for proper contractions and cervix dilation.
