The Role of a Chiropractor in Prenatal Care

Pregnancy is a blessing to be embraced, but all moms know that it can also bring some pain and discomfort. From nausea and pain in the back and joints while pregnant to the painful process of birth, pregnancy can bring some unpleasant moments. Fortunately, prenatal chiropractic care from Dr. Walters – lovingly referred to as ChiroMom – can provide natural pain relief. We help provide chiropractic care for the Bellmore, NY, area.

How Prenatal Chiropractic Care Provides a Positive Impact 

Chiropractic care is a natural method of achieving pain relief and ensuring your body is in optimal health. The following are a few ways this field of practice benefits moms and babies during pregnancy.

1. Maintaining Proper Alignment 

Daily life already has a way of causing the spine to become misaligned. When you add a growing baby to the mix, you’re at an even greater risk of misalignment. Sadly, this may cause you a great deal of pain and tension. It may also minimize the space available for your little one to grow. A spinal adjustment may help ensure that your spine is in the best shape possible.

2. Addressing Sickness 

Morning sickness is a common issue during pregnancy, which is often due to pressure on the nerves. Proper alignment may help relieve this pressure, potentially ridding you of nausea and vomiting.

3. Balancing Emotions 

All the changes to your body can cause tension and a wide range of emotions. Adjustments, acupuncture, and chiropractic massage can all help to relieve tension, which may help normalize your emotions and boost your mood.

4. Improved Delivery 

While every case is different, women who receive prenatal chiropractic care may have shorter deliveries with fewer complications. This may be because keeping the spine aligned positively impacts the pelvis, making your baby’s journey through the birth canal a bit smoother.
