When you receive chiropractic care during your pregnancy, you’ll discover firsthand how it supports a smoother delivery for you. If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it’s natural to wonder if chiropractic care at Network Wellness Center might benefit you.
The Case for Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings many changes to your body. It’s a beautiful journey, and regular adjustments during pregnancy deals with stress in your nerve system, so you are able to move through the process of carrying a baby to term in a healthy way for you and for your child. Adjustments enhance pelvic joint function, allowing for greater movement and ease during labor, encourage optimal nerve function, which is crucial for a coordinated and efficient delivery, and promote balanced pelvic alignment and soft tissue structures to support ideal fetal positioning.
When your body is in alignment, it’s better equipped to handle the demands of pregnancy and childbirth. Adjustments, particularly those focused on your pelvis, help create the best possible environment for your baby as it grows and prepares for birth.
Supporting a Healthy Labor and Delivery
Research shows that chiropractic care during pregnancy can lead to shorter, smoother labors. Studies have found that women who received chiropractic care during their first pregnancy experienced a 24% reduction in labor times, while those having their second or third child saw labor times decrease by nearly 40%. This significant difference is due mainly to how chiropractic helps align the pelvis and reduces intrauterine constraint, giving your baby the space it needs to move into the best position for birth.
Your Chiropractic Journey During Pregnancy
Ideally, chiropractic care should be part of your pregnancy plan from the beginning. Receiving care early on prevents problems before they start, and it’s never too late to benefit from care. Even if you’re further along in your pregnancy, adjustments can still help prepare your body for a smoother delivery.
The goal for you and your chiropractor is for you to feel and function at your best throughout your pregnancy and set the stage for a positive birth experience. You deserve to feel strong, supported, and comfortable during this special time.
