The Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care: Safe, Natural Support for a Healthy Pregnancy

There is definitely certain pregnancy chiropractic techniques that Bellomo Family Chiropractic uses in the prenatal case. First, we must analyze what trimester the future mom is in and this will lead us into what techniques are most effective and safe for the mom and the baby.

There are also special pillows, which help the mom rest comfortably, especially if in the third trimester.

We are a specific hands-on family chiropractic life center. Which means we can feel the areas that need to be adjusted. There are times when we will use a very gentle instrument to gently adjust the vertebra that is misaligned and reduce the interference and the pressure in the spine.

Chiropractic and pregnancy has gotten extremely a lot of attention in the last several years. Many women and their spouses have gotten extremely proactive when it comes to natural chiropractic care during their pregnancy. They are looking for the best possible outcome that is natural. Many pregnant women are looking for 100% natural experience with no dangerous side effects like drugs and medications. Chiropractic care can be a very positive experience during pregnancy and during the actual birthing process. Let’s understand exactly how chiropractic works. Chiropractic is based on the completely 100% natural process of self-regulation by an intelligent designer. Chiropractic teaches that the body knows how to heal, and the body certainly knows how to deliver a baby.

The body is controlled and coordinated by the central nervous system, which means the brain, brain stem and spinal nervous system can intelligently run the body. The nervous system is coordinated and complex, which is how God designed us. The senses, muscles, organs and glands are under the control of the spinal cord. The majority of the nervous system traverses down the spinal cord and the nerves exit between every vertebrae in the spine.

When we have a spinal misalignment that creates a blockage and interferes with the life force signals which flow from the brain, brain stem and spinal cord. This spinal misalignment called a subluxation interferes with the vital impulses of life that communicate to all of our muscles and organs.

The chiropractor who analyzes the pregnant woman can locate a subluxation and once located can gently and prenatally remove the blockage and allow those impulses to connect putting the mother and the baby into a miraculous healing environment.

Research in chiropractic pregnancy is in abundance. Reducing pressure on the nerves that control the uterus in pregnant women gives overwhelming positive results. The following are statistical facts that support the incredible results in prenatal, Chiropractic pregnancy care.

Pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic care is very safe and very delicate. The chiropractor will use gentle techniques that are designed for maximized efficacy. The techniques avoid pressure on the abdominal area and focus on the alignment of the pelvis and hips which reduces pressure on the lower back and on the traveling sciatic nerve down the entire leg.
Chiropractic care can also help with the reduction of postpartum symptoms. By reducing pain and inflammation, postpartum can be a positive response to delivering the miracle of birth.

A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that specific prenatal chiropractic adjustments can help to improve fetal positioning, potentially reducing the need for interventions such as C-sections. According to the APA (the American Pregnancy Association), up to 50% of pregnant women experience lower back pain during pregnancy. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care can significantly reduce lower back pain during pregnancy and labor.
