Pregnancy changes posture, weight distribution, and the amount of stress placed on the back, pelvis, and surrounding muscles and joints. Some pregnant patients seek chiropractic care to address musculoskeletal discomfort and improve mobility and comfort.
How is prenatal chiropractic care different?
Prenatal care is adapted to the stage of pregnancy and the patient’s individual needs. Positioning and techniques can be modified to keep the patient comfortable and avoid unnecessary pressure.
Can chiropractic care help with pregnancy-related back pain?
Back and pelvic discomfort are common during pregnancy. Chiropractic care may be considered as part of a conservative approach to managing musculoskeletal discomfort, depending on your individual circumstances.
Should I speak with my OB-GYN before receiving prenatal chiropractic care?
It is important to keep your prenatal healthcare team informed about the care you receive. Patients with pregnancy complications or specific medical concerns should speak with their obstetric provider before beginning a new treatment.
Can I continue chiropractic care after giving birth?
Postnatal chiropractic care may be appropriate for patients dealing with musculoskeletal changes or discomfort after pregnancy and delivery. Your chiropractor can evaluate you and recommend care based on your recovery and individual needs.
