Chiropractic & Pregnancy

Pregnancy can be a really interesting time in a woman’s life. While you're elated about new life and a baby joining the family, our body will be undergoing many changes. Your hormones can be unpredictable, and through all of that, your life will be completely changed in just a few short months. The process of building a baby is beautiful, but it can be uncomfortable and even painful for many mamas. We are firm believers in chiropractic care through your entire pregnancy, so here are some reasons would want to consider it.


Keep Your Spine Aligned

As you progress through your pregnancy, you will likely put on some weight. The added weight can put more stress on your joints, and even bring on more exhaustion and fatigue. Not only that, but this weight isn’t evenly distributed around your body. A majority of it will be on the front of your body, throwing off the way you normally carry yourself. Safe and effective adjustments can help combat any spinal misalignment through pregnancy. This can help current discomfort as well as help through labor and delivery.

Relief from Pain & Discomfort

Did you know that 16 out of 17 women saw improvement from back pain when they were treated by a chiropractor? These odds are FANTASTIC. Aches and pains are common through pregnancy, so if you can find something that will help - go ahead and sign up! Another common experience through pregnancy is sciatic pain. The sciatic nerve runs through your hip and down your leg. Because the baby puts so much pressure on your hips, there are many times that women will experience sciatic discomfort. Chiropractic can help ease the pain.

Easier Labor & Delivery

As your Lake of the Ozarks chiropractor, we will work with you to help strengthen and build your body up. We will specifically be working with your spine and your hips through pregnancy, which can aid in helping you through your labor and delivery. In fact, it has been reported that women who received pre-natal chiropractic have a 50% shorter labor and a decrease in the need for medical intervention by as much as 60%. Those odds sound pretty good if you ask us.

Post-Partum Care

Chiropractic isn’t just beneficial while you’re pregnant. By keeping up with regular adjustments through the “4th trimester” you can find balance in your new life. This can include proper restoration of normal biomechanics as well as an improved posture for breastfeeding.

But Wait, There’s More!

If this is not your first pregnancy, you may feel like you already know the ropes. If you had complications during your last pregnancy, though, it’s even more important to pursue a healthy lifestyle through this pregnancy. Have you heard “once a cesarean always a cesarean”? This isn’t the case anymore. More and more providers are finding that even after a c-section, a woman can still have a natural, vaginal birth if she so desires. If you want to plan for a VBAC at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can’t stress enough the value of having a supportive team. We would be honored to be a part of your team by providing you with prenatal chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks.

When making a difference in your health, it doesn’t mean you have to tackle all of the hard things all at the same time.
