Introduction to Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy is a time of immense change and excitement, but it can also bring about discomfort and pain. Evolved Chiropractic in Oak Creek, WI, specializes in providing chiropractic care tailored specifically for pregnant women. Our goal is to help expectant mothers experience a healthier and more comfortable pregnancy.
What is Pregnancy Chiropractic?
Pregnancy chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic care focused on the unique needs of pregnant women. This form of care is designed to address the musculoskeletal changes that occur during pregnancy, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being. At Evolved Chiropractic, we use gentle, safe techniques suitable for all stages of pregnancy.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pain Relief
One of the most common reasons pregnant women seek chiropractic care is to relieve pain. As the body changes to accommodate a growing baby, the spine and joints can become misaligned, leading to discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic pain.
Improved Pelvic Alignment
Proper pelvic alignment is crucial during pregnancy. Misalignment can affect the position of the baby and lead to complications during delivery. Our chiropractors use specific techniques to ensure the pelvis is correctly aligned, which can also reduce the likelihood of a breech position.
Enhanced Comfort
Conditions Treated with Pregnancy Chiropractic
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common complaint during pregnancy due to the additional weight and shift in the center of gravity. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate this pain by realigning the spine and improving posture.
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed, leading to pain that radiates down the leg. Chiropractic care can help reduce this pain by relieving pressure on the nerve and improving spinal alignment.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is often caused by the loosening of ligaments in preparation for childbirth. Chiropractors can use gentle techniques to stabilize the pelvis and reduce pain.
Round Ligament Pain
The round ligaments support the uterus, and as the uterus grows, these ligaments can become strained, causing pain. Chiropractic care can help alleviate round ligament pain through gentle adjustments and soft tissue techniques.
Safety of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is considered safe for both the mother and the baby. At Evolved Chiropractic, our chiropractors are specially trained to work with pregnant women and use techniques that are safe and effective. We use pregnancy-specific adjustment tables and pillows to ensure comfort and safety during treatments.
When to Start Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
It’s never too early or too late to start chiropractic care during pregnancy. Many women begin care as soon as they find out they are pregnant to help their bodies adjust to the changes. However, chiropractic care can be beneficial at any stage of pregnancy, whether to address specific discomforts or to prepare for a smoother delivery.
