Benefits of Chiropractic Care during Pregnancy




There are numerous benefits to receiving holistic chiropractic care during your pregnancy.  After a recent experience with a first time mother, I thought it would be beneficial to list these benefits.  I am currently expecting my second child and have received regular adjustments for my changing body to aid in adjusting to my postural changes.  I hope after reading this list of benefits you too will consider chiropractic care for your natural birthing plan.

Before beginning this list, let’s define what holistic chiropractic care means.  Holistic chiropractic care encompasses not only musculoskeletal care including manipulation and massage therapy but also nutritional support, exercise planning, and acupuncture therapy all of which are safe during pregnancy and can treat virtually any issue you confront during an uncomplicated pregnancy.

Dr. Nathani’s Top 5 Reasons for Receiving Holistic Chiropractic Care During Your Pregnancy

1.   Published research suggests that regular musculoskeletal manipulation during your pregnancy improves probability of successful natural birthing.
2.   Reduced time of labor and delivery (American Pregnancy Association) – The recent patient I mentioned above labored for 5 hours and pushed for 30 minutes.  This is quite remarkable for those first time mother’s reading this article. 
3.   Balance the changes that occur to the body from increased weight, change in how your weight is distributed, and ligament laxity from hormonal changes.  Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate the infamous pain in the buttocks that is commonly related to your ever changing pelvis and the sacroiliac joint (also lower back pain, carpal tunnel, neck pain, mid-back pain, foot pain, headaches – too name a few conditions I have treated successfully with chiropractic care during pregnancy).
4.   Promoting the turning of a breech baby using chiropractic manipulation (At Holistic Vitality Center, you also have other natural options including acupuncture and lifestyle recommendations for turning breech babies).
5.   Prevention of potentially unnecessary interventions such as Cesarean delivery and pain controlling modalities by preparing your body for the laboring process.

What are the benefits of nutritional therapy and acupuncture for the pregnant woman?

My first labor and delivery was in the hospital setting and I have chosen to have my second child in a birthing center.  I look forward to sharing this experience with you and the difference between the two.

  1. The posterior labor is one of the most painful labor conditions that a mother would experience, but this condition can be avoided with regular Chiropractic care. Posterior labor is a condition when a baby is facing forward instead of facing towards the mother’s spine. Chiropractors have special training techniques to prevent this condition during labor.

  3. Chiropractic adjustments are really helpful for pregnant women. Unbalanced hormones are caused by fetal development and the mother's adaptation to it. Chiropractors adjust the mother's body to cope with the development of their baby.

  4. Two months ago, I suffered a slip and fall injury which resulted in terrible lower back pain. Even after trying a bunch of medication, the pain wouldn’t go away. My aunt recommended I pay Schrier Family Chiropractic a visit. The results were rewarding and he gave great advice. If you want relief from joint pains, slip and fall and other related injuries, visit www.drelan.com or call 561.445.2648.

  6. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
