Decreasing Labor and Delivery Time

Improving prenatal spinal health can foster a favorable environment for birth which can potentially result in shorter labor and delivery times. It can also make for a smoother and more comfortable birthing process.

Reduced Risk of C-Sections

Seeing a prenatal chiropractor may reduce the need for interventions, such as the dreaded cesarean sections. A properly aligned spine can help fetal positioning which may encourage a more natural birthing experience.

Improved Pelvic Balance

When a woman is pregnant your pelvic bones are under a lot of stress. Much of the pain experienced during pregnancy is because the pelvic bones are out of balance and alignment with the spine. Chiropractors can address issues like pubic symphysis dysfunction and round ligament pain. By focusing on reducing imbalances and restoring alignment this can lead to improved comfort and mobility.

Holistic and Non-Invasive Approach

Adjustments can support the nervous system which is the body's main communication system. By ensuring proper prenatal spinal alignment, the nervous system function will be better optimized. This has the potential to reduce issues such as nausea, headaches, and sciatic pain.

WE BELIEVE IN EDUCATING OUR PATIENTS

LEARN MORE ABOUT PREGNANCY & CHIROPRACTIC

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

This is the most common question and concern from our expectant patients and we want to assure you treatments from our highly trained prenatal chiropractors are deemed safe and effective during pregnancy. It’s important to note that we encourage open communication between the expectant mother, your obstetrician, and our chiropractors for the assurance of safety. Your obstetrician’s approval is especially important if you have specific conditions or complications that might call for caution. 

Our chiropractors use gentle techniques and proper equipment to accommodate a woman’s pregnant body to prevent undue pressure on the abdomen. While chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are typically safe, we encourage you to listen to your body and voice any discomfort or concerns during treatments. Chiropractic care is a safe and a beneficial option for easing pregnancy related discomforts.

Pregnancy Related Conditions We Treat

Our pregnancy chiropractors can address a range of common pregnancy related conditions. Here are some of the conditions that we have helped treat our patients with:

  • Back Pain: Pregnancy often leads to increased stress on the spine which results in lower back pain. Spinal adjustments can help alleviate this discomfort by restoring proper alignment and reducing pressure on the nerves.
  • Pelvic Pain: The shifting of pelvic bones and increased joint laxity during pregnancy can cause pelvic pain. We focus on aligning the pelvis, reducing pain, and promoting better overall pelvic function.
  • Sciatica: The pressure on the sciatic nerve can lead to radiating pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Our unique method can relieve the compression on the nerve which will provide some relief from sciatic pain.
  • Round Ligament Pain: Round ligament pain occurs due to the stretching of the ligaments that support the uterus. Chiropractic care from our doctors can help reduce discomfort by addressing any misalignments that may contribute to the pain.
  • Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction: This condition involves pain and instability in the pelvic region. Spinal adjustments can help realign the pelvis and alleviate the discomfort.

By promoting proper alignment, reducing nerve interference, and improving overall musculoskeletal function, our chiropractors in New Berlin, Wisconsin can effectively alleviate these pregnancy discomfort. We offer a safe and non-invasive approach to helping mothers have a more comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy experience.
