Chiropractic and Pregnancy
Pregnancy is clearly a time of significant physical and chemical changes in a woman’s body.
This not only influences weight gain or the alteration of her center of gravity, but her spine also becomes more flexible.
Monitoring and managing this potential tension in the ligaments often facilitates the repositioning of the fetus before delivery, contributing to a smoother natural birth.
Chiropractic and Pregnancy
Chiropractic helps ensure that the reproductive system, as well as other body systems, receive the transmission flow from the nervous system through the spine without interference.
This results in a spine free of subluxations and a nervous system without interference.
During pregnancy, it is very common to experience a subluxation caused by mechanical, chemical, or emotional stress.
Regardless of the cause, the result is interference in the transmission of nerve impulses that can negatively affect both the mother and the development of the fetus.
Sciatica or low back pain, which are common during this period, are largely caused by the aforementioned changes in gravity, positioning, and spinal flexion, and they can be a nuisance for daily activities as well as cause heaviness in the legs and general gastrointestinal discomfort.
Chiropractic is a natural way to help the body minimize the manifestations of this stage, aiming to make these months more bearable, allowing for the continuation of normal activity routines.
By adjusting the spine of the pregnant woman, spinal subluxations or slight displacements of the vertebrae that disrupt nerve function are reduced, thus allowing the body to self-regulate so that the woman can remain as active as possible during her pregnancy.
The chiropractor will monitor to ensure that both the pelvis, which is especially affected throughout the process, and the vertebrae are in balance and functioning harmoniously.
The techniques used and the fact that no medication is required make chiropractic safe for both the mother and the fetus.
Dysfunction in the lumbar and/or pelvic area can create tension in the pelvic ligaments that support the uterus, consequently influencing poor positioning of the baby, leading to problems that may result in a cesarean section.
