Pregnancy Chiropractic in Asheville
We want our bodies to function at as high a level as possible at all times. This becomes even more important during pregnancy. Chiropractic is completely safe, effective, gentle and totally all natural.
Why Do I Need Chiropractic Care?
During pregnancy, a woman’s body produces Relaxin. This hormone has several functions. In the third trimester, it loosens the ligaments surrounding her pelvis to make delivery easier. Since these same ligaments provide support, misalignments can occur.
Chiropractic adjustment ensures everything is properly aligned and functioning without restrictions. Better pelvis and spine movement typically make the labor and delivery process shorter and less painful.
Babies are super healthy and moms recover faster. Moms tell us there’s a big difference with a chiropractic delivery. We have mothers who bring their babies straight to us from the hospital before going home. They know firsthand the value of having their newborn adjusted.
Our doctors will do everything we can to make our moms comfortable and pain-free. Our table opens to accommodate their growing stomach. Adjustments are handled differently and are even more gentle. We see moms all through their pregnancy.
What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?
Helps maintain good health throughout the pregnancy – when your body is in alignment and functioning properly, optimum wellness is possible.
Helps control morning sickness – when vertebrae are out of place, nerves, can be pinched. This can cause nausea and vomiting. Once the adjustment is applied, pressure on the nerve is released.
Relieves back, neck and joint pain – carrying around the extra weight of the baby puts mom’s skeletal system under duress. Inevitably, the new weight gets distributed unevenly causing low back and hip pain, and other joints as well.
Able to turn baby from breech position – Breech deliveries cause difficulties for both the mother and baby. Chiropractic has developed a technique that allows correction from breech to headfirst in the birth canal.
Shorter labor and delivery – when mom’s body is in balance, joints and ligaments are relaxed. Labor and delivery are quicker and less painful. Many moms have noted how much easier delivery while under chiropractic care is than without.
Faster post-partum recovery – changes in your pelvis can make walking, sitting and sleeping uncomfortable. Add in the new stresses of picking up and carrying your new baby and the loaded diaper bag that goes along with it. No wonder you hurt! Chiropractic care can help ease your discomfort and get you back to feeling your best.
