Chiropractic is beneficial for everyone but it is especially conducive during times when the body is undergoing a lot of changes, such as with pregnancy and throughout childhood development.
During pregnancy, the body has to accommodate extra weight, a different center of gravity, hormonal changes leading to ligament laxity, and changes in the pelvis to provide room for the baby to grow. A body that is not working at its fullest potential will have a hard time making these changes. This can lead to musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy, longer labor and delivery, and other complications. The good news is that women were designed to be able to have children and be healthy in the process! Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy will allow for the mom’s body to do what it was designed to do and accommodate these changes so that the baby can grow in the best environment possible!
