Life is vital and with it there is a choice to nurture it. One subject overlooked and maybe not emphasized enough is child birth. With pregnancy there can be many decisions to be made. It is not a mere procedure as many hold it to be, but rather an event that ushers in life. How can chiropractic even help?
There is a lingering question that many do not have an answer for or fear so much that they do not know how to deal with and solve by answering and that is pain. Does pregnancy need to be enduring? The outlook should be governed by the mothers ability to have choices to choose from. This helps the mental attitude so that this phase is not just a condition as many hold it to be. It is more than that; It is an event.
Chiropractors are required to study obstetrics while in university. This prepares them to know the mechanics of the spine due to the postural distortion of bearing a child.
Adjustments during pregnancy are important for the fact that:
a.) They help proper alignment of pelvic bones of the mother to ensure a better chance to have a less stressful delivery limiting injury to the child or mother.
b.) Adjustments help provide an ability to stage a better chance for the mother to be free from nerve irritation which could help with the developing child’s growth.
The welfare of the mother and child during this time of growth is vital. The less stress the better. So when the mother is not having painful symptoms and is at ease and relaxed it is a benefit for the child as well.
There is no need to go through pregnancy feeling like a prisoner shackled by discomfort, worries, and poor health.
Even though chiropractors do not deliver babies they are capable in looking at the whole frame of the body versus one specific area. It is to this cause that chiropractic may be another choice to help you better enjoy this chapter in your life.
