Pregnancy

Chiropractic care has been shown in many studies to be beneficial during all stages of pregnancy and possibly even earlier.

In a study, conducted by Irvin Hendryso, M.D., who is a member of the American Medical Association board of trustees, it was shown that women who received chiropractic adjustments in their third trimester of pregnancy were able to carry and deliver their children with more comfort.

Also, a well-known orthopedist, Per Freitag M.D. conducted a hospital study that incorporated chiropractic adjustments during the patients' pregnancy. He found that the request for painkillers was reduced by half during delivery.

Two impressive reasons to make sure you are under care during this important time.

The chiropractic techniques we would use would be selected to be very gentle and, above all, safe.

We can help with the pain or discomfort sometimes caused as the body changes its shape, as the center of gravity moves forward and as it starts to stretch in preparation for giving birth. A well-positioned pelvis means the nerves controlling the uterus are not irritated or trapped and so function well during this testing time.
