Chiropractic and Pregnancy

Women's Health Issues image.

Some people raise their eyebrows when they hear about a pregnant woman receiving chiropractic care. What they often don't understand is that chiropractic care is beneficial to both the mother and to her growing child!

What are some of the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?

  • Improved functioning of the nervous system helps both the mother and the developing foetus.
  • Proper alignment of the pelvis supports the growing uterus and allows maximum room for the baby to grow.
  • Proper positioning of the foetus for labour and delivery helps reduce the amount of pain the mother experiences during labour and may allow for an easier birth.
  • Lower back/pelvic pain due to the weight of the developing foetus is reduced.
  • Some common hormonal side effects that result from pregnancy are eliminated.

In addition, many chiropractors have been trained to use the Webster Technique, which uses gentle adjustments to help a baby assume the best possible position for a safe delivery. It is generally used when a baby is in a breech position in the uterus. Many women have successfully avoided Caesarian section births because of this technique.

Discuss this, and any other issue related to pregnancy, when you next visit Canberra Chiropractic Clinic.

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Turner folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
What does a chiropractic adjustment do?
Chiropractic adjustments give your spine a little "nudge" at the right place, right time and the right direction so your body can use that energy to "right" itself. With a schedule of consistent chiropractic visits, a new, healthier spinal pattern emerges.
