Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Pregnant Women?

Chiropractics is the adjustment of the spinal column and body's misaligned joints. This treatment provides measurable relief, and is considered to be very safe. More than one million people are given chiropractic adjustments on a daily basis, with many among them being pregnant. In most cases, chiropractic care is a safe treatment for pregnant women. If you are dealing with issues such as placental abruption, preeclampsia, or an ectopic pregnancy, your chiropractor may suggest other forms of treatment.

Our chiropractors in Fargo have treated women at all stages of pregnancy, and we are experienced in providing lasting relief. 

The Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

Pregnancy can be very uncomfortable. Your body is going through drastic physical and hormonal changes, the former of which will likely impact your posture. Pregnant mothers often experience more discomfort as their baby grows, including a shift in their center of gravity, a curved spine due to a protruding abdomen, and other shifting as the body prepares for labor.

  • Pain relief — Records go back hundreds of years documenting the benefits of manipulative therapy for pregnant patients. Proper chiropractic care can help to ease discomfort and relieve pain, with studies showing a majority of women reported relief after chiropractic treatment. We specialize in pain relief modalities, and will be happy to generate the best plan for you to feel good again!
  • Healthy alignment — Quality chiropractic care supports the limbic system and helps organs to function at their best. Adjustments can be ideal for expectant mothers dealing with hormone imbalances. Focusing on a healthy spine helps to promote the most comfort while the body shifts and prepares for birth.
  • Symptom relief — Are you dealing with nausea, swelling in the feet, or frequent headaches? Many problems can be targeted with professional spinal adjustments.

Can Chiropractic Care Benefit My Baby?

The benefits of chiropractic care from our North Dakota team can extend to your little one, too! Misalignments in the pelvis, for example, can create serious concerns throughout gestation. Serious misalignments can make it challenging for your baby to shift into the best position for birth. Treatment helps to prevent posture issues such as a posterior or breech birth. Proper alignment of the pelvis also helps to provide enough space for your baby to move and grow. 

External issues such as a misalignment can result in intrauterine constraint, which may result in birth defects. In some cases, babies are in the breech position before birth, which can result in serious complications. Your chiropractor can perform treatments to help your baby reverse their position, if need be. Routine chiropractic adjustments can help to create the best alignment for your body, which also benefits your baby!
