The Advantages of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

While some chiropractors have additional certification in prenatal chiropractic care, all chiropractors are trained to treat pregnant women safely and effectively.

Any chiropractor trained in pregnancy chiropractic care will use a special chiropractic table that accounts for the physical changes that occur during pregnancy in the female body. They will also know to keep a patient from lying flat on her back during pregnancy and will have her lie on her side as an alternative.

If you have any questions or concerns about chiropractic care during your pregnancy, talk to Dr. Diana. Dr. Mladenoff will both be able to answer your questions and help you determine the correct solution.

While seeing a chiropractor can relieve pain, seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy can have these added benefits:

• Help with nausea
• Reduce time of labor and delivery
• Reduce lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain
• Help prevent a C-section
• Lower risk of pre-term delivery
• Reduced need for pain medication during delivery and pregnancy
• Faster recovery time

However, the two biggest benefits of prenatal chiropractic care concern making delivery as easy for the mother as possible. They are restoring pelvic balance and maximizing room for the baby in the womb.

Any chiropractor with a Webster Certification - Like Dr. Diana - has advance training in restoring pelvic balance during pregnancy and using pelvic balance to ensure the baby is in the optimal position for delivery.

When the pelvis is misaligned, it can limit the space the baby has in the womb. This makes it harder for the baby to move into the desired position for delivery, affecting the mother’s ability to have a natural birth. However with chiropractic care, the pelvic balance can be restored and this can often be easily solved.
