Importance of Prenatal Care
At Maple Grove Family Chiropractic, we are proud to offer prenatal chiropractic care services to Maple Grove, MN, and the surrounding areas. Prenatal chiropractic care can make pregnancy much more manageable by alleviating the back pain associated with carrying a baby. It also ensures the mother’s body is functioning properly, lowering the risk of birth complications. To reap the full benefits of prenatal chiropractic care, mothers should consider beginning as early as possible.
Relief From Back Pain
Pregnant women often experience back pain. During pregnancy, the mother’s body must adapt to carrying the weight of a growing baby. This added weight places additional strain on the spinal column, leading to misalignment of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. The spine can also become curved, which can cause chronic pain lasting well past the baby’s delivery date. Chiropractic adjustments in the early phases of pregnancy can help prepare the body to carry the weight of a baby, and regular adjustments throughout pregnancy help to ensure that any spinal problems are addressed as they present themselves.
Safer Labor and Delivery
Regular visits to a chiropractor help to ensure safer labor and delivery. Prenatal chiropractic adjustments make sure the spine, hips, and pelvis are all properly aligned. Adjustment of the spine ensures proper nerve function, which is important in controlling cervix dialation. When any of these elements are out of alignment or not functioning properly, labor and delivery become much more strenuous. We will help you avoid that.
