All chiropractors are trained to work with patients who are pregnant. Not only is it safe to see a chiropractor during pregnancy, but it is also one of the best decisions you can make to help you feel your best and enjoy this special time. Your chiropractor can treat you right up to your delivery date and can help manage quicker recovery by addressing post-natal biomechanical complaints.
REDUCE DISCOMFORT AND PAIN:
During pregnancy, your body changes rapidly and areas like your back and pelvis can become particularly tight and tender. When pregnant, it’s normal to gain more than 30 pounds. This extra weight places considerable stress on your back, feet, ankles and knees. As your baby grows, your core abdominal muscles become stretched and may not be able to provide as much support to the pelvis and spine nor stabilize your posture as well as they did before. A chiropractor can diagnose, treat and help prevent muscle strains and joint pain that may develop as your pregnancy progresses.
IMPROVE BABY POSITIONING:
Ensuring optimal mobility and alignment of the pelvis and lumbar spine allows for optimal baby positioning and growth and helps to prepare your pelvis for the baby’s delivery. Drs. Nicole, Katelyn and Adrienne also have additional training and experience in the Webster Technique, a specific sacral analysis used to identify biomechanical restriction and imbalance in the pelvis.
HELP PREPARE YOUR BODY FOR CHILDBIRTH:
Preparing your body for pregnancy and delivery is essential and can greatly improve your pregnancy and labour comfort. A chiropractor can recommend safe and effective exercises and stretches to help prepare your body for your growing baby and to prevent common aches and pains.
IMPROVED LABOUR:
Regular chiropractic assessment and treatment throughout your pregnancy can help ensure that your pelvis, spine, and hips avoid restrictions and imbalances, which can not only minimize your pregnancy discomforts but can benefit both labour and delivery!
HEALTHIER OVERALL PREGNANCY:
A chiropractor can help decrease the pressure on your joints, muscles and nerves of the spine and pelvis to provide safe, effective and drug-free pain relief of your pregnancy aches and pains. Our goal is to help you experience a safer, more comfortable pregnancy. Give us a call at 905-628-1000 or book online at: https://thehealthcentredundas.janeapp.com
