Prenatal Chiropractic in Port St. Lucie FL

In preparation for pregnancy, women will experience many changes. Weight gain and lack of balance are both common changes associated with pregnancy. Your back can curve as a result of the imbalance of weight which puts abnormal pressure on your hips. Spending 9 months with these conditions can cause discomforting back pain.

Studies have shown that 7 of every 10 women experienced severe back pain during their pregnancy. The third trimester is when the baby weighs the most, resulting in the peak of back pain. Branching off from back pain, issues involving added weight include cramping and digestive issues.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Taking medications during pregnancy is not usually an option, so the only natural and practical solution for pain is chiropractic care.

First trimester:
Chiropractic care can help with morning sickness. When your sympathetic nervous system is aligned this will help regulate hormonal function.

Second trimester:
Your baby is developing quickly during this time and continuing to be aligned is important. Adjustments will also help with the headaches, heartburn, and abnormal sleep patterns that are very common.

Third trimester:
The positioning of the baby is extremely important. Chiropractic care helps align the pelvis so the baby can fall into a birthing position.

Post-Partum
Each mother has a different experience during this time, but chiropractic care increases the mother’s ability to bounce back.

If a woman has had a past miscarriage, chiropractic care is extremely important as we pay special attention to the pelvis and sacrum.
