Safer Births

How can chiropractic add comfort?
Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential choice in your prenatal care. Preexisting unnoticed imbalances in your spine become stressed during pregnancy. These pronounced discomforts make it difficult to perform routine, daily activities. A large percent of all pregnant women experience back discomfort/ pain during pregnancy. This is due to the rapid growth of the baby and an interference to your body’s normal structural adaptations to the growth. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Specific adjustment eliminate the causes of stress in your spine.

Comfort for baby, too...
As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balanced in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted, causing condition known as intra-uterine constraint. This constraint limits the space of the developing baby. Any compromised position for the baby throughout pregnancy will affect his or her optimal development. Conditions such as torticollis occur because a baby’s space was cramped in utero. If there is intra-uterine constraint as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth, Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often times intra-uterine constraint prevents the baby’s head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. The head may be slightly tilted in the posterior or breech position. Any baby position even slightly off during birth will slow down labor, and add pain and distress to both the mother and bay. Many women have been told that their babies were to big, or labor “just slowed down” when it was really the baby’s presentation interfering with the normal process and progression. Avoidable interventions are implemented turning a natural process into and operative one. Doctors of chiropractic work specifically with your pelvis throughout pregnancy restoring a state of balance and creating an environment for and easier, safer deliver.

Preparing for a safer birth
Dystocia is defined as difficult labor and is something every woman wants to avoif. In addition to the pain and exhaustion caused by long, difficult labors, dysocia leads to multiple, medical interventions which may be physically and emotionally traumatic to both you and your baby. Some of these interventions are the administering of pitocin, the use of epidurals, painful episiotomies, forcefull pulling on the baby’s grafile spine, vacuum extraction, forceps and perhaps even c-sections. Each ofh the procedures carry a high risk of injury to you, your baby or both! However, all of these procedures used to hasten the delivery process can be avoided if delivery goes more smoothly to begin with.

When reviewing the obstetric text, the reprted reasons for Dystocia are caused by pelvic imbalance and its resulting effects on your uterus and tour baby’s position. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy restores balance to your pelvic muscles and ligaments and therefore leads to a sager and easier delivery for you and your baby. Additionally, the chiropractic adjustments reduces interference to the nerve system allowing your uterus to function at tis maximum potential. Published studies have indicated that chiropractic care does in fact reduce labor time.

We offer specific analysis and adjustments for your special needs in pregnancy. You and your baby’s continued safty and comfort is primary in your care.
