Your body changes during pregnancy-Chiropractic care can help!

During pregnancy  there are many hormonal changes and chemical reactions that occur in both the mother and the baby.  These changes are controlled and coordinated through the nervous system. Chiropractic helps the nervous system function optimally by removing interference/ irritation.  The nervous system responds immediately and accurately to changing requirements of all parts of your body and, therefore, needs a healthy spine. Recent studies show that chiropractic care helps facilitate the process of pregnancy, increases comfort during the third trimester and delivery and reduces the need for analgesics (pain medications). One study found that women who received chiropractic care during their first pregnancy cut their delivery times by 24% and women who gave birth to their second or third child had a 39% reduction in labor time. Another study showed how the need for pain medication was reduced by 50% in those patients who received chiropractic adjustments. In addition, 84% of women reported relief from back pain during pregnancy thanks to Chiropractic Care.
