Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy Pains
By Donna Stark
Whether your pregnancy is a surprise or was totally planned, there are so many things to look forward to, aren't there? From sending out the announcements to getting the nursery room ready to buying all the clothes and supplies, the next few months are going to be filled with one task after the next! But the most important task has to do with you, and you can get a head start with it by seeing your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic.
Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy Pains
Soon enough, you may start experiencing some pain throughout your body, and although it is common during pregnancies, it doesn't mean you need to suffer. The chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic can help you navigate the uncomfortable changes that occur in your body and can alleviate much of the discomfort you may experience throughout the next few months. Take a look at some of the most common causes of pregnancy pain below and how chiropractic care can help.
- Back pain - It makes sense that the back may start to hurt because the added weight pulls the abdomen forward and creates an imbalance in the body, which can lead to excess pressure being placed on the spine. Your local chiropractor can decrease the amount of that pressure, alleviate the pain that comes with it, and place your spine in proper alignment (which gives your baby more room to grow) with safe and gentle adjustments.
- Head pain - Stress, muscle tension, poor posture ... there are many reasons why you may be experiencing headaches during your pregnancy, but routine chiropractic care can help! The adjustments your chiropractor provides can reduce your stress, ease the tension in your muscles, and correct bad posture. It's an easy fix to what could potentially become a debilitating issue.
- Joint pain - Your balance is out of whack, your pelvis is misaligned, and your body is overcompensating. Is it any wonder then that your knees, ankles, and feet are starting to hurt? Don't let pain keep you from moving! Chiropractic care can correct the joint dysfunction that is occurring in your body so that you can have pain-free days.
