Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Yes! Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe and beneficial during pregnancy for mom and baby. Prenatal chiropractic care helps to balance and align the pelvis and hips to create optimal in-utero positioning for baby, comfort for mom and help prep the body for birth and delivery. Despite the benefits, prenatal chiropractic care is best when mom feels comfortable and safe. So here are some points to consider when choosing to incorporate chiropractic care into your prenatal regimen.
Choose your chiropractor wisely- It is important to choose a chiropractor who is experienced in working with pregnant patients and have specialized training and knowledge about the specific needs and considerations of pregnant women.
Discuss your health/pregnancy history- Before initiating care, it is important for your chiropractor to get to know you, your body, your health and pregnancy history. Provide them with a comprehensive history of your pregnancy, including any complications, discomforts, or concerns you're experiencing.
Gentle techniques- Chiropractors who specialize in prenatal care typically use gentle techniques that are specifically designed to accommodate the changes in a pregnant woman's body and alleviate discomfort and align the pelvis without putting excessive pressure on the abdomen or pelvic region.
Open communication- Communicate with your chiropractor if you are experiencing any discomfort and give them feedback. I personally love getting feedbacks from my patients because it allows me to tailor my treatments to best fit their needs and their body.
Precautions- Listen to your body! If something doesn't feel right, let your chiropractor and birth team know so they can ensure you are safe at every stage of your pregnancy.
Prenatal chiropractic care can be safe and beneficial during pregnancy. However, every pregnancy is unique, so what works for one woman might not be suitable for another. Always prioritize your health and safety during this special time.
