Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Common understanding and logic would make you believe that because of the physiological changes and the precious cargo involved during pregnancy chiropractic care might inflict some harm on the mother or the fetus. In actual practice it is the opposite. Chiropractic treatments during pregnancy are good and healthy for the mother, and will help in easier labor and delivery.
It is quite easy to see the changes pregnancy causes on the outside of the body. The weight of the baby places increased pressure on the spine and pelvis, and towards the end of the pregnancy, changes are seen in gait pattern which makes it seem as the pregnant woman is walking with a waddle. There are many different hormonal changes and chemical reactions occurring both in the mother and the developing baby, all of which are controlled and coordinated through the nervous system.
Chiropractic adjustments often result in an easier pregnancy, significantly decreased mean labour time, and assists new mothers back to the same level of health they had before pregnancy. In studies that have been done on women receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy, women receiving Chiropractic care through their first pregnancy had 24% shorter labour times than the group not receiving such care. In addition, 84% of women reported relief of back pain during pregnancy with Chiropractic care. There is significantly less likelihood of back labour when receiving Chiropractic care through pregnancy because the sacroiliac joints of the pelvis function better.
Chiropractors also adjust the newborn babies after birth. Foe adjustments to newborns only very little force is applied. This chiropractic adjustment is directed at the spine and facilitates in the removal of subluxations which the baby felt or went through because of his cramped and constrained position in the womb and his journey through the birth canal. It has been noted that birth trauma to the spine is common and occurs 10 to 20% of the time.
The children who suffer the most from ear infections, colic, allergies, asthma, frequent colds, or ADD/ADHD, commonly have subluxations as the underlying cause of their bodies not working properly. Even relatively easy deliveries can result in subluxations. That’s why every child should be checked, before health problems develop. That is preventive chiropractic care in the truest sense. Preventing subluxations in mothers also prevents subluxations in their babies during childbirth. Remember our bodies, by design, are supposed to be healthy, even during pregnancy. Your chiropractor is usually very knowledgable about diet and exercise related to your pregnancy.
