If you are expecting your next child, both you and your little one deserve a healthy, joyful journey. Dr. Josh Schreiner at Schreiner Family Chiropractic offers prenatal chiropractic care to residents of Verona, WI, and the surrounding communities to help achieve that goal.
Quick Guide to Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy is filled with excitement and hopeful anticipation. Unfortunately for many expecting mothers, it is also filled with aches, pains, and nausea. Below, Dr. Schreiner and the team at Schreiner Family Chiropractic in Verona, WI, share how prenatal chiropractic can make a difference.
Basics of Pregnancy Symptoms
When a woman is pregnant, her body begins changing in many ways. However, these changes can lead to some issues.
The expansion of the developing baby and extra weight put pressure on the lower back and pelvic area. They can cause disc issues, chronic muscle tension, and compressed nerves.
Nerve compression can lead to many issues, including nausea and digestive troubles. It can also prevent you from getting peaceful sleep and make it difficult to focus. Pressure on the pelvic area can lead to a more difficult delivery. And misalignment, in general, can affect how much space the baby has to turn into the proper birth position, which increases the likelihood of needing a C-section.
Additionally, relaxin is the name of the hormone a woman’s body produces to help loosen ligaments and tendons for birth. While relaxin is important, it often leads to pain and an increased risk of injury.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Prenatal chiropractors offer gentle methods of care to help moms combat unwanted symptoms. Gentle spinal and pelvic adjustments can be crucial to relieving back pain, releasing nerve compression, making the delivery process a smoother one, and reducing the chance of needing a C-section.
Soft tissue techniques are also often utilized. These help relieve tension, release muscle spasms, reduce stress, and improve your sleep.
Many moms worry about the potential risks of chiropractic care during pregnancy, which is an understandable concern. However, chiropractic care is deemed safe for pregnant women. It employs the gentlest and safest methods possible, ensuring the health and safety of both the mom and the baby.
