Easing Your Nerves: The Safety and Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
/Are you wondering if Chiropractic is safe for your pregnancy?
Are you experiencing low back pain and not sure if Chiropractic care is the right solution?
As a pregnant woman, we understand that your body goes through many changes that can cause discomfort and pain. You many not realize it, but one way to alleviate these symptoms and prepare your body for labor and delivery is through chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care is a safe and gentle form of healthcare that focuses on restoring proper alignment to the spine and pelvis. More specifically, our Webster Certified Chiropractors are skilled in treating prenatal patients with this type of care. Having treated hundreds of women in the Pasadena area, we have seen the the positive effect this type of care has had on so many lives.
During pregnancy, you have hormonal changes and an increase in weight on the spine and pelvis, which can lead to misalignment and pain. By restoring proper spine and pelvic alignment, chiropractic care can help reduce pain, improve mobility and flexibility, and prepare your body for labor and delivery.
One technique that is particularly beneficial for pregnant women is the Webster Technique. Having many years of experience, Dr. Kelli Kakita Han has used this specific adjustment protocol for pregnant women that aims to balance the pelvis and reduce tension in the round ligaments, which can lead to a more comfortable pregnancy and an easier birth.
Research has shown that chiropractic care during pregnancy can have a positive effect on the birthing process. It can potentially reduce the duration of labor, reduce the need for interventions such as Pitocin and cesarean section, and help the baby to be in the best position for delivery.
Additionally, chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, headaches, and sciatica. Many of the women we have had the privilege to help endured weeks of back and hip pain before finding us. We can also help to improve posture and balance, which is important as your body changes during pregnancy.
When looking for a provider, it’s important to find someone that is both experienced in prenatal care but takes the time to get to know you and your situation. There is no cookie cutter solution to your situation because we all have unique bodies and stories. We value this 1-on-1 interaction because it allows our experts to give you the best care possible during such an important time in your life.
Overall, chiropractic care can be a beneficial addition to your healthcare plan during pregnancy. It can help alleviate discomfort, improve alignment and prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
