Chiropractic and Pregnancy

Women's Health Issues image.

Some people raise their eyebrows when they hear about a pregnant woman receiving chiropractic care. What they often don't understand is that chiropractic care is beneficial to both the mother and to her growing child!

What are some of the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?

  • Improved functioning of the nervous system helps both the mother and the developing fetus.
  • Proper alignment of the pelvis supports the growing uterus and allows maximum room for the baby to grow.
  • Proper positioning of the fetus for labor and delivery helps reduce the amount of pain the mother experiences during labor and may allow for an easier birth.
  • Lower back/pelvic pain due to the weight of the developing fetus is reduced.
  • Some common hormonal side effects that result from pregnancy are eliminated.

In addition, many chiropractors have been trained to use the Webster Technique, which uses gentle adjustments to help a baby assume the best possible position for a safe delivery. It is generally used when a baby is in a breech position in the uterus. Many women have successfully avoided Caesarian section births because of this technique.

Discuss this, and any other issue related to pregnancy, when you next visit Basin Family Chiropractic.

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Where do most Moses Lake residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Moses Lake newborn.
