How Chiropractic Can Help?

brochures/pregnancy 062020brochures/pregnancy Pregnancy Take a Proactive Approach For Your Pregnancy

An increasing number of mothers-to-be are moving towards more natural birthing processes. Mothers-to-be who are looking for a healthcare practitioner to provide less invasive care before, during, and post pregnancy can consider chiropractic care.

Preconception

At the preconception stage, chiropractic care can help couples prepare their bodies by ensuring the nerves leading to the reproductive organs are functioning optimally. This has allowed some couples who were not successful in conceiving to be able to conceive when undergoing chiropractic care in our clinics.

Pregnancy

Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can assist in the reduction of morning sickness, pain relief for upper back and lower back, and help to align the hips and pelvis for a more optimal birthing position. This can reduce labor time for the mothers-to-be during the actual birth process itself. Our patients experience less pain and shorter labor time with chiropractic care during pregnancy. Labour and Birth

With a well-functioning nervous system, pregnant mothers will have shorter labour time and a more optimal position in the hips and pelvis for delivery, causing less trauma for mother and child.

Vacuum extraction

Birth trauma may occur even with the most gentle and non-invasive birth process. More invasive birthing interventions such as the use of forceps, a vacuum extraction or even C-section to deliver the baby can cause problems for both the mother and baby. Vacuum extraction and forceps commonly reach 140-170 lbs of pulling force during delivery which will lead to birth trauma such as nerve damage.

Forceps extraction Post Delivery

Spinal trauma for mother and child can occur during the birth process. This results in irritation to the nervous system which can be the cause of many problems for a newborn. Poor appetite, breathing difficulty, colic, difficulty nursing or showing preference for one side from restricted movement of the head can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.

Pregnancy is natural. Why is chiropractic necessary?

Being born is a natural phenomenon. Labour is usually accompanied by a severe drop in temperature, loud noises and other insensitivities. The administration of drugs and anesthesia can also have complications. Chiropractic provides a natural approach to an already natural process.

Is it safe for both mother and child?

Seeking consultation and judgement from another health care expert is always helpful in the decision-making process. Chiropractors and medical doctors can work concurrently to provide patients with the best pain management and birthing options. The adjustment techniques used on adults and infants are different.
