Pregnancy & Chiropractic Care

For most women being pregnant is the experience of a lifetime, but when it comes to prenatal care many don't know that a Doctor of Chiropractic can help with the aches and pains as a woman's posture changes during pregnancy.

This one minute video helps explain the benefits of chiropractic care as a non-drug treatment that can help both mother and child during pregnancy.

As the body changes during pregnancy the head, spine and pelvis can become biomechanically stressed. Chiropractic care provides gentle and effective adjustments to relieve headaches, neck and back pain - all without medication.

This is especially important since a UCLA study found that the drug acetaminophen, if taken during pregnancy, has been associated with a higher risk in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD.

A specific postural and spinal evaluation combined with appropriate treatment can establish balance within the pregnant woman's pelvis. This helps reduce unwanted stress to the uterus in the supporting ligaments. For a healthier pregnancy more women are discovering that chiropractic care delivers.
