But how exactly can chiropractic help with the pregnancy? Before Pregnancy Even before the conception of a child, Chiropractic can help a woman with her fertility. Chiropractic maintains the overall wellness of the human body by focusing on the spine and spinal cord. Seeing as our bodies are one system made up of many, the nervous system plays a delicate and dominant role in the wellness of a woman’s reproductive ability. Vertebrae within the spine can shift and caused a subluxation of the nerves associated with the reproductive system in a woman. If the reproductive organs are not receiving the proper information from the brain, they will not function optimally. Being regularly aligned by Chiropractor can assist in the care plan of a woman who may be worried about her fertility. During Pregnancy When a woman becomes pregnant, her entire body begins to alter alignment in order to compensate for the future fetus. A woman’s hips begin to widen in order to allow the fetus to pass through during birth. This change of alignment in the hips causes misalignment in other areas of the body such as the spine, shoulders, and neck. Because of this, it is very important for a pregnant woman to be consistent with her chiropractic care underneath a chiropractor who understands the body of a pregnant woman. After Pregnancy The wonderful miracle of birth can take a toll on the mother's body unlike anything else. Pain, tears, and joy. what’s a woman has had her baby, her body begins the process of attempting to align back to her pre-pregnancy form. Woman’s body will never be the same after childbirth but through chiropractic care misalignments that were caused during this wonderful miracle of life can be either corrected or treated.
