Are you wondering if prenatal chiropractic care is the right choice for you? Look at these common questions and their answers provided by our team at New Wave Chiropractic Center in Carlsbad.
Why would I need prenatal chiropractic care?
Among the many things that pregnancy can do to your body – both good and bad – it can wreak havoc on the spinal column. Your spine is accustomed to carrying a specific amount of weight and your stomach is normally at or around the same size.
However, when you are pregnant, you are suddenly carrying additional weight and your stomach expands. This expansion can place pressure on the muscles and nerves, leading to pain, discomfort, tension, nausea, fatigue, and more.
What can prenatal chiropractic care do for me?
It would almost be easier to answer what it can’t do. Visiting a chiropractor while you’re pregnant – regardless of the stage of pregnancy – can provide many benefits. These benefits include reducing pain and discomfort, nausea, sleep troubles, brain fog, and more. Additionally, it can help shorten labor time, as well as reduce the risk of breech birth.
Is it safe to see a chiropractor when I’m pregnant?
Prenatal chiropractic care is safe. The adjustments and any other treatment options used are done so in the safest ways possible. For example, we can use gentle adjustments that do not require twisting your body and methods like massage therapy. Our team is trained to ensure both you and your baby are properly cared for.
Our chiropractors are Webster certified. The Webster Technique is the only chiropractic technique that specializes in the evaluation and adjusting of a pregnant spine.
