What to Expect with Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy 

Pregnancy can be a stressful time for a woman, whether it’s your first or fifth. Not only do you have the massive concerns of preparing to bring a new life into the world, but your body is undergoing many changes. These nine months bring on major hormonal alterations and the often unpleasant signs that accompany them.

You may not be sleeping well and may suffer from headaches and back pain. Your emotions can run high and contribute to your physical discomfort as well. Bloating, abdominal discomfort and swollen feet are also common symptoms.

Fortunately, Grimes Family Chiropractic can offer relief for a pregnant mother. Chiropractic treatment is safe and completely natural. There are no drugs used and no invasive or surgical procedures performed, so you can be assured of the best care for both you and your baby.

Pain Relief
One of the areas in which chiropractic excels is pain relief. Adjustments, soft tissue release and other treatment modalities may be used to lessen your pain regardless of where it is localized. If your pain radiates or spreads, chiropractic can address that as well by finding and treating the source of the problem.

Gentle Care
Naturally, you’re concerned about the health and safety of your baby. Chiropractic treatments use the minimum amount of force necessary, and a good chiropractor is always focused on your comfort. This is especially true when a patient is pregnant. The utmost care will always be taken to avoid injury to both you and your child.

Relief of Swelling
It’s quite common for pregnant women to notice edema, or swelling, in their limbs. This can be caused by fluid retention, a frequent issue during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can assist in improving blood flow and strengthening the lymphatic system, allowing swelling to dissipate.

Advice
Trained and experienced chiropractors are experts in nutrition, diet and exercise, especially regarding the unique needs of pregnant women. Your chiropractor is an excellent source of advice regarding vitamins, supplements and appropriate exercise techniques while you’re expecting. They can direct you in making safe decisions about what you put into your body during this crucial time.
