Getting ready for an addition to your family can be a joyous occasion. Yet your body and mind may undergo a significant amount of stress during pregnancy, making you more susceptible to injury and added muscle and joint strain. Restoration Chiropractic offers therapeutic prenatal care that ensures your body and spine are in proper alignment and that tension is released from the stress placed on your back, neck, shoulders and legs.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Generally visiting a chiropractor during pregnancy does not pose a threat to your unborn child. Restoration Chiropractic chiropractor, Dr. Kim Crickmay, is available to consult with your doctor and other health care professionals prior to treatment and offer the most safe and effective prenatal therapies tailored specifically for pregnant women. Whether you suffer frequent headaches during your pregnancy or are dealing with chronic lower back pain, our prenatal chiropractic care plans are designed to support your changing body throughout the entire pregnancy up to delivery.

Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy

Many women experience varying degrees of lower back pain during pregnancy that may increase as the growing fetus develops. This condition can usually be attributed to the shift in the center of gravity that takes place as your body undergoes changes which can result in joint strain and pain that radiates through the lower back and down to the buttocks and legs. Other issues that arise during pregnancy that can be addressed by chiropractic therapy include disc herniation and other various nerve irritations that manifest as chronic pain in the back and shoulders.

Prenatal Chiropractic Techniques

The licensed chiropractor at Restoration Chiropractic provides gentle prenatal techniques and completely avoids the abdomen. Prenatal chiropractic treatment plans may also include balancing and aligning the pelvis, helping the body to adapt to pelvic changes and careful adjustments to compensate for the increased back curve.
