Chiropractic care can help women mange life changes
Pre- and Post-Natal Needs
During pregnancy, a woman's body experiences a period of rapid changes (shape, hormonal and loose ligaments). As a result, the body becomes stressed. Many women develop upper back pain, lower back pain and sciatica. Chiropractors have special tables, or padded equipment to allow pregnant women to lie on their stomach. The special tables and pregnancy equipement, in conjunction with specific methods geared to the pregnant woman, will allow safe and proper chiropractic treatment up to labor. In a study by JM Daly, 91% of pregnant women studied reported pain relief as a result of regular chiropractic care during their pregnancy. 2 Through regular chiropractic care during pregnancy, women can benefit from proper nervous and body system function so important during fetus development. Post-Natal - Due to the abnormal stress that the mother’s body goes through during childbirth, frequently the upper back and lower back musculature becomes tight and spinal misalignments can happen. Also while breastfeeding is very important for the child to get proper nourishment and to have an opportunity to receive natural immunities from their mother allowing them to experience improved health, it does place a lot of added stress to the upper back, shoulders, and neck of the mother. Regular chiropractic adjustments in new mothers can relieve back discomfort associated with reduced sleep, breast feeding, and lifting the new baby. Footnotes: • Daly JM, Frame PS, Rapoza PA. Sacroiliac subluxation: a common treatable cause of low back pain in pregnancy. Fam Prac Res 1991: 11(2): 149-159.
