Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy in Chesapeake

Pregnancy can be a time of great excitement and wonder, but it can also be a time of great discomfort for many women. The extreme changes that are taking place in your body can cause a multitude of problems including back aches, digestive issues, mood swings, sore muscles, breathing difficulties and many more. Getting help from our team combined with the help of pregnancy chiropractic care can help women deal with these issues in a safe way.

Back Aches for Pregnancy Chiropractic patients

Many women will experience severe back aches during pregnancy due to the fact that the growing fetus literally changes the position of your organs as well as the curvature of your spine. While the stomach area begins to protrude, you will notice that the curve of the spine will increase. Although to some degree this is necessary in order to make room for the baby, it can result in discomfort if vertebra begins to move too much.

The same is true for the changes which will take place in the pelvic joints. As the baby grows the pelvic joints will naturally loosen in preparation for child birth. During this time, maintaining proper alignment becomes essential to the health the mother and her child. Pregnancy chiropractic care can ensure that misalignment does not hinder your birthing experience.

Pinched Nerves

Pregnancy induced pinched nerves are among some of the most uncomfortable issues that soon to be moms will deal with. As the curvature of the spine changes, vertebra can move and nerves can become pinched in this shifting process. A pinched nerve can cause pain, tingling and numbness in varying places on the body. Normally the discomfort will be centralized to the lower back, thighs and legs. Ongoing issues with pinched nerves are one of the reasons that many mothers seek medication during child birth. Pregnancy chiropractic care can help relieve this pain and pave the way for a drug-free delivery.

Our chiropractors in Chesapeake work closely with pregnant mothers to create customized treatment programs that will address their individual concerns and problems.  A combination of chiropractic treatment and massage can turn an uncomfortable pregnancy into a wonderful experience.
