Pregnancy is an extraordinary time in a woman’s life. However, it can also have tremendous impact on one’s body physically and physiologically. Chiropractic treatment has been used on pregnant women to tackle the following problems;

​

• Added stress in the spine

• Back ache / discomfort

• Muscle soreness

​

Benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy

​

• Alleviating neck or shoulder tension

  • Weight of your baby may alter the way you sit, stand or sleep which in turn cause neck or shoulder tension

• Back ache relief

  • Realign the imbalanced body structure that may have been caused by increased weight of your baby

• Reducing time of labor and delivery

  • Balanced spinal alignment aid delivery and reduce labor time

Safety of chiropractic care during pregnancy

​

Chiropractic treatment is safe on pregnant women as far as 39 weeks of their pregnancy. At Reform Chiropractic, we use specialized tables that adjust for the needs of each pregnant body, no matter how far along you are.

 

We also use modified techniques designed to address common problems during pregnancy to ensure that our patients are comfortable yet able to receive the care they need to resolve their body aches.

Post-delivery chiropractic care

​

Chiropractic care can continue to improve your health and wellness after giving birth. The process of labor and delivery can cause misalignment of your pelvis and spine, leading to back ache, headaches, numbness in limbs, or other problems. Chiropractic treatment following labor can assist with bringing your body back into alignment and preventing further issues.

​

Women can return to chiropractic care within a week of a natural delivery or 2 weeks with a cesarean procedure. While every body type is different, you are free to contact us to find out when would be the best time for you to start/resume your chiropractic care.
