3 reasons pregnant moms should see a chiropractor
Pregnancy is an AMAZING time in your family’s life. There is so much excitement, nervousness, energy, and other feelings as you get closer to your due date. Here are 3 reasons EVERY pregnant mom should see a chiropractor.
1. Decreased labor times: Research shows that moms who receive regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy have 24-32% shorter labor times. This is AMAZING. Along with shorter labor times comes an easier birth process with less time for issues to arise. Shorter labor times mean your baby has less trouble navigating the birth canal and you are more in-tune with your contractions and how your body is feeling.
2. More comfortable pregnancy/better pain management: During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone named “relaxin”. The job of this hormone is to loosen up your ligaments and muscles to prepare your body for birth. This is a beautiful thing and it shows how intelligent your body is. However, this creates more instability during a time when there are a lot of biomechanical changes occurring due to your baby growing. This places more stress on your low back, hips, and pelvis which often leads to pain. Chiropractic care is incredibly beneficial and helps support you through a more comfortable, enjoyable pregnancy.
3. Fewer birth interventions: Research shows that moms who receive regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy need fewer birth interventions. How AWESOME is that? Chiropractic care using the Webster Technique prepares your body for birth so when the time comes, you are ready!
Make chiropractic a part of your pregnancy experience to support a happy, healthy pregnancy for you and your family!
