how prenatal chiropractic care can help

As your baby develops and gains weight, your body's centre of gravity naturally shifts, causing changes in your posture. This shift in posture can sometimes lead to misalignments in your spinal vertebrae and nearby joints. Additionally, the expanding abdomen can cause your spine to curve more than usual, resulting in significant lower back discomfort. This increased spinal curve might also limit your range of motion and impact your usual movement patterns.

After a comprehensive physical assessment, chiropractors use gentle adjustments to realign misaligned vertebrae and joints. These techniques work to enhance your posture during pregnancy and reduce the discomfort that comes with the added weight of your growing baby.

During the course of your pregnancy, your body undergoes hormonal changes that play a vital role in supporting various bodily functions and promoting the well-being of your growing baby. Among these hormones, relaxin stands out as it relaxes your muscles, ligaments, and joints to accommodate your developing child.

Regrettably, relaxin's effects extend beyond the abdominal area; it also impacts the muscles and ligaments that contribute to maintaining proper spinal alignment. When these soft tissues are excessively relaxed, it can lead to gradual misalignment of your vertebrae, leading to several discomforting and restrictive issues, including:

• Limited range of motion
• Restricted mobility
• Challenges with posture and resulting back discomfort
• Possibility of early contractions
• Sciatica
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint discomfort

By restoring correct spinal alignment, we help reestablish balanced posture, restore the normal function of soft tissues, and support healthy nerve communication, ultimately minimising pain and enhancing your mobility.
