Is chiropractic safe in pregnancy?
Of course! A safe alternative to drugs is wonderful for both
mother and baby
Is it difficult to receive a chiropractic adjustment when
pregnant?
Not at all. Chiropractors are trained in adjusting the spines of
pregnant women and many chiropractic adjusting tables have
special modifications and pillows for the pregnant figure.
Is there a time in pregnancy when spinal adjustments should
stop?
No! Some mothers have even received adjustments even during
labour, as that is when movement/shifting happens in the
mother's pelvic area and to aid in reducing pain.
Can spinal care help postpartum depression?
For years chiropractic's beneficial effects on emotional stress
and personality have been noted. At least one journal has quoted
a doctor as saying that "postpartum depression is a rarity in
patients receiving chiropractic care".
Can back pain be helped with chiropractic?
Chiropractic is not a treatment or therapy for back or spinal
pain. However, with chiropractic spinal adjustments the body
will be better able to heal its back and spinal pain, as well as
many other health problems. Studies have shown a significant
decrease in back and labour pains in mothers receiving
chiropractic care.
Do I have to have a
problem in pregnancy to see a chiropractor? Not at all.
Chiropractic should be used as preventive maintenance. Periodic
spinal checkups during pregnancy should be as common as periodic
weight checkups. Remember, your body is changing in many ways
and that can place a great deal of stress on your spine and
nervous system, so rather than wait for problems to arise,
prevent them by frequent visits to your chiropractor.
Can my baby receive
chiropractic?
Infants a few hours old have been given spinal checkups and
adjustments, if needed.
