Chiropractic adjustments may ensure everything is properly aligned and functioning without restrictions. Only bony ligament systems and muscular structures of the pelvis are worked on. The baby is not touched at any point.

How it May Help

Reduces uterine restrictions — When a mum’s ligaments relax, it can allow the baby to be in the right position when she’s moving around. Sometimes too much stress is placed on the ligaments, preventing the baby from moving. Adjustment can reduce stress and allow the baby to move.

Reduces lower back pain — The extra weight mums have to carry can cause pain. Chiropractic care may correct the posture of the spine as the baby grows, and prevent discomfort. Other benefits may be relief from headaches, back, chest and neck pain, sciatica and tight hip muscles.

May help with recovery after birth — Studies show that regular adjustments, prior to delivery, may help the body recover faster. Proper alignment stimulates the nervous system, helping it remain functional, balanced and healthy.
