What You Should Know About Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an incredible season of growth and transformation, but it can also bring physical discomfort, emotional stress, and a lot of questions. As your body prepares to support and deliver a new life, your spine, pelvis, ligaments, and nervous system go through enormous changes — and it’s completely normal to feel tired, achy, or overwhelmed at times.
Hormonal shifts, a growing belly, postural changes, and changes in gait can all place extra stress on the pelvis, low back, and nervous system. And while many moms seek help for back pain, sciatica, or pelvic discomfort, research shows that prenatal chiropractic care can also support your body’s ability to adapt to these changes so you can feel and function your best throughout pregnancy.
Many expecting mothers also wonder:
-
Is my baby positioned well?
-
Are these symptoms normal?
-
How can I stay comfortable as my due date approaches?
That’s where prenatal chiropractic care truly shines.
