Chiropractic treatment could help improve various symptoms that occur during pregnancy, without side effects, so that the mother can have a healthier pregnancy and recover more speedily after giving birth.
During pregnancy, MSK changes occur in a woman's body.
As the foetus grows in the womb, the belly grows, and in addition, the ligaments around the waist and pelvis weaken under the influence of relaxing hormones such as Relaxin secreted from the body of the pregnant woman, and it can become structurally unstable and vulnerable. As the weight of the baby in the belly increases, the centre of gravity of the pregnant woman's body is more forward than normal.
This deformation and vulnerability of spinal structure stresses the soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments around the joints which can lead to pains in the lower back, pelvis, middle back and neck due to overstraining of the vertebrae.
In addition, nausea and heartburn could be caused by an increasingly full stomach, which puts strain on the diaphragm. As the uterus with the baby grows, it puts more pressure on the abdomen, resulting in leg swelling and varicose veins in some cases.
Spinal abnormalities during pregnancy can cause many problems during pregnancy and childbirth.
Chiropractic treatment during pregnancy, and regular back and pelvic corrections could help you to have a good pregnancy and make the birth process easier.
