Is chiropractic care ok during pregnancy?

There is a great deal of discussion over the benefits and safety of receiving chiropractic therapy when expecting a child. Some believe it is harmful to both the mother and baby, while others believe it is harmless and has a number of health advantages for both. It is true, mums who receive chiropractic therapy have a less difficult pregnancy and delivery experience than others. 

Chiropractic care is safe and effective for babies, toddlers, teenagers, and adults, and it is also safe  for women who are pregnant. Neither the mother-to-be nor her baby is in any danger, and the advantages to her are enormous. Chiropractors who have undergone training and have completed all of the schooling requirements to be licensed and practice have been taught to treat pregnant women. Some chiropractors specialise in correcting pregnant women, which means they may have greater expertise, but the vast majority have the requisite skills and knowledge to do the procedure safely and effectively. Any woman who has been pregnant understands how much strain is placed on her back, neck, hips, and knees over the course of the pregnancy. It becomes difficult to carry out even routine duties because of the unequal weight distribution, which might cause some areas to become out of balance and unaligned. Regular chiropractor visits for you and your baby during your pregnancy will ease most of the additional tension on your spine and can help prevent nerves from becoming compressed, resulting in back discomfort, numbness, or tingling down your legs, arms, or fingers. Because your posture is constantly changing as your belly changes and expands, frequent adjustments may also be beneficial in addressing any imbalances that may arise as a result.​
