Natural Pain Relief During Pregnancy

**Why Pregnant Women Deserve Chiropractic Care**

Lets talk pregnancy for a minute, mamas. There are so many changes happening to your body, aside from the teeny tiny baby growing inside:​

1. Your breasts are getting bigger / pulling your neck and shoulder forward
2. Relaxin hormone causes your joints and ligaments to loosen
3. Other hormones can cause headaches and muscle tension
4. Your uterus and abdomen are getting bigger / muscles in your low back tighten to keep you upright
5. Your center of gravity shifts forward
6. The curve of your low back increases / tilting your pelvis forward and putting different biomechanical stresses on your pelvis
7. Your uterus puts upward pressure on your diaphragm and esophagus

Now on top of these changes, we sit - a lot. For most of us, sitting is a large percentage of our day. And we usually favor one side or the other when we do.
 
To recap: weight gain + hormonal changes + sedentary lifestyle = increased possibility of pain during pregnancy!

So how do you relieve that pain naturally? (aka without pain medication, which you probably aren’t able to take anyway)

Chiropractic care is the answer, specifically Webster technique.. which is a specific and gentle method of analysis and correction of the stresses that pregnancy puts on your body. The goal is to balance the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments. This not only reduces pain and helps you feel more comfortable through those 10 months, but also helps provide the optimal environment for your baby to move into proper positioning for labor and delivery.

It’s so good for you! So what are you waiting for? Make an appointment today!
