Mom-to-be is an exciting stage of life.  It is also a natural process of life, but it could also develop different stresses to the body as the expecting process move along the way.  Some of the common complaints that a pregnant mother may develop during the pregnancy are neck pain, mid and low back pain, pelvic pain, leg pain, chest pain, breathing difficulty, and paresthesia. 

The spinal structure will undergo a significant change during the pregnancy.  As the baby grow day by day, the increasing weight at the abdominal area will put a stressful load onto the low back in order for the body to balance itself.  This type of stressful load might cause low back pain during the pregnancy.  Upper and mid back pain and discomfort might also develop as the low back is undergoing the stress.  As a result, pregnant mother often experience spinal discomfort during the pregnancy especially during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. 

Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy

It is highly recommended to begin chiropractic care before conception.  Allow the body and the spinal structure to be in better alignment and balance help to provide a good environment for the fetus to grow.  Proper maintenance of the spinal and pelvic structures throughout the pregnancy is important to ensure the best possible environmental condition for fetal development and positioning.

It is important to have a good balanced structures and systems for the body to carry out the heavy load of pregnancy throughout the whole term.  Chiropractic care allows the body the ability to work in its normal physiological function which is vital to both the pregnant mother and the growing baby. 

Chiropractic care during pregnancy will help the pelvic structures like the bony pelvis, muscles, and ligaments in better balance thus preparing the structures for easier pregnancy.  Chiropractic care also help to reduce to chances of intrauterine constraint due to imbalance structures causing tension to the ligaments that are attached to the uterus.  Good balanced structures allow the vital nervous system to function properly and better environment for the fetal development. 

With better balance of the mother's structures, fetus has the proper room to grow its important structures like their skull, spine, and the nervous system.  It also allows the fetus to go into the best possible position during birth. 

Postnatal Chiropractic Care

During pregnancy, hormonal level is increased due to physiological changes.  The increase of hormones will soften the ligaments of the body thus easily lead to spinal structure misalignment more frequently.  After childbirth, the hormonal system will gradually return to its pre-pregnant state in a few weeks.  During this period of time, the ligaments are still loose and the spinal structure can easily get misaligned.  Since the spinal structure has been under tremendous stress during the pregnancy, it is important to improve and maintain the spine in proper alignment.  This will help to ease off the spinal discomforts that were developed during pregnancy.  The better aligned spinal structure will also allow the mothers to have more energy and better physical ability to take care their newborns.
