Prenatal Chiropractic
There are many reasons to add a prenatal chiropractor to your birth team. Throughout pregnancy, women will often experience a wide variety of pregnancy-related symptoms. Morning sickness, nausea, heartburn, constipation, and lack of sleep are some of the not so great side effects of pregnancy. Research shows that women under regular chiropractic care while pregnant report less symptoms in many cases. This can largely be related to a properly functioning nervous system and better adaptability to stress.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can also help balance the pelvis, improving alignment in order to accommodate these changes. Dr. Lindsey is certified in Webster technique, a pregnancy specific technique focusing on balancing the pelvis and surrounding ligaments and muscles. Having a balanced pelvis not only helps reduce discomfort in the hips and lower back, but also allows the pelvis to be in the best position or alignment for birth.
There are so many benefits to chiropractic care during your pregnancy, and the few listed above are just the start.
