The Benefits of Chiropractic Care during and after Pregnancy



Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. But it also is a time of great stresses, both physical and physiological. First, your body undergoes dramatic changes, especially your abdominal muscles, your spine and pelvis. Second, your body’s nutritional needs increase and expand. Every system in your body experiences marked changes, affecting the growth of the new life, but also profoundly affecting EVERY cell in the mother’s body.

greenberries is very excited to be hosting a free discussion about the importance of chiropractic care and what it can offer to you in this intense transition for your body. Click this link to RSVP today to be a part of this opportunity. This discussion encompasses how chiropractic care prevents, and alleviates pain, encourages mobility and mechanical function and may make Labor quicker and easier. Additionally, we will discuss what your body needs to optimally feed your baby and your body and prepare your body for life after delivery.

About half of all expectant mothers will develop lower back pain some time during their pregnancy.  With the average weight gain of 25 to 30lbs, you will find your center of gravity shifting and causing additional stress on your lower back.  Many women have found relief to their lower back pain and have had easier deliveries by receiving chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy.  Scientific studies have found that spinal manipulation carries no increased risk to the mother or baby.  Chiropractic care is also helpful after delivery as your body starts to tighten up those loose ligaments that developed during your pregnancy.  It is important to make sure your joints are aligned before your muscles return back to their pre-pregnancy state.  Don’t forget to have your newborn baby checked while you’re at it.
