The Chiropractic care a mother-to-be receives during pregnancy has many benefits to both, mom and baby. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy helps maintain balance, alignment and flexibility. Many report less morning sickness. When the baby is comfortable, it can assume the optimal birthing position.
In labour and Birth, mothers who get adjusted seem to require less high-tech intervention. Most report shorter, less traumatic births. With proper nerve supply, well-timed contractions help move the baby more easily through the birth canal.
Even natural births can stress a baby´s spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby is unable to comfortably turn its head. Chiropractic care is a gentle non-invasive way to help with trauma in the post-partum period for mom and baby. The best outcome is seen when scheduling a chiropractic checkup soon after birth.
Chiropractic care is a safe, effective, drug free way to achieve the health in both mom and baby that goes hand in hand with the prenatal care your OB or midwife may provide. Chiropractic adjustments to a newborn use no more pressure that you´d need to test the ripeness of a tomato. An infant´s spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults, and the adjustments that adults need is not the same technique used for a newborn.
