Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only safe but incredibly beneficial. During pregnancy, women experience many changes in their body, including changes in pelvic alignment, changes in posture and an increased back curve that comes with a protruding abdomen. These changes can result in a misaligned spine or joints. It is important to maintain proper alignment during pregnancy so that the baby can have enough room to develop, as well as to keep the nervous system and the rest of your body functioning properly.
At Robinson Family Chiropractic, Dr. Robinson utilizes adjustment techniques that do not place pressure on the abdomen, making chiropractic care completely safe and possible for pregnant women. With regular chiropractic care and prenatal massage, our team can help you have a healthy pregnancy, while controlling the symptoms of nausea and relieving pain in your back, neck and joints. Adjustments can also help reduce time of labor and delivery and prevent the need for a cesarean section. By keeping the spine in alignment, there will be more room for the baby to turn and get into the proper position in preparation for delivery, which will decrease the chance of a breach birth or need for medical intervention.
If you are pregnant, call our Rolling Meadows or Algonquin office at 847-963-4894 and 847-458-8444 respectively to schedule an appointment. For more information, visit www.handsdoc.com.
