Chiropractic and Pregnancy: How to Transform Your Well-being and Facilitate Childbirth
Discover how chiropractic transforms your pregnancy into a well-being experience, reducing pain and facilitating a natural birth.
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and transformative stages in a woman’s life. It is the only time, beyond childhood, when the body changes drastically in a few months. All these physical and hormonal changes can be difficult to handle, especially for first-time mothers.
At our Chiropractic Center, under the direction of Dr. Marc Bony, we specialize in accompanying future mothers to experience this process with maximum well-being, using safe, natural, and drug-free techniques.
What is chiropractic for pregnant women?
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession recognized by the WHO that is responsible for detecting and correcting interferences in the spine and nervous system. During pregnancy, the body undergoes physiological and endocrine changes to create the right environment for the baby.
Dr. Marc Bony uses gentle and specific manual adjustments to align the spine and pelvis. This not only relieves pain but ensures that the nervous system functions correctly, allowing all the body’s organs to operate without interference during fetal development.
Benefits of chiropractic during pregnancy
First Trimester
Helps control common symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and headaches by stabilizing the function of the nervous system.
Second Trimester
As the uterus grows, pelvic ligament pain appears. Adjustments prevent and relieve sciatica by releasing pressure on the nerve.
Third Trimester and Birth
A balanced pelvis facilitates the baby adopting the optimal position for birth, reducing labor hours and the need for interventions such as cesareans.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Totally. There are no known contraindications for chiropractic care during pregnancy. In our center, we use special tables that adapt to the pregnant woman’s body and techniques that avoid any unnecessary pressure on the abdomen. Dr. Marc Bony holds ICPA and Webster certifications to treat prenatal well-being with maximum safety.
When to start?
Ideally, start with an early evaluation at the beginning of pregnancy to correct misalignments before discomfort appears.
Recommended frequency
A monthly visit until the seventh month, increasing to every two or three weeks in the last trimester to prepare the birth canal.
Postpartum
After giving birth, chiropractic is essential to help the mother in her physical recovery and realign the pelvis after the effort of childbirth and breastfeeding postures.
FAQ — Pregnancy and Chiropractic in Mataró
Is it safe for my baby?
It is 100% safe. We use tables designed for pregnant women (with a space for the belly) and “sustained pressure” techniques that are so gentle you could fall asleep.
When should I start?
The sooner the better! The sooner we align your pelvis, the more space your baby will have to grow. However, it’s never too late; even in week 38, chiropractic helps to flex the pelvis for the time of birth.
Will it help me after giving birth?
Absolutely. Postpartum is the time to “reposition” everything. We help your body recover from the effort and correct the typical hunched posture of breastfeeding.
