Chiropractors while pregnant?
I am having serious lower back pain and I am starting to look for healthy ways to keep myself fit and pain free during pregnancy. Has anyone ever had problems with chiropractic care while pregnant. I have a chiropractor who has plenty of experience with prenatal care in the chiropractic sense but I want to know what if any negative things have ever occurred due to adjustments. Any positives?? Would you recommendd it??
Absolutely! It’s a wonderful thing and can ease pregnancy discomfort and make labor better. Be sure you do see a chiropractor trained to work on pregnant patients though-not all are trained in that kind of care. Webster technique trained chiropractors can be found online at icpa4kids.org
I had chiropractic care during my pregnancy with my daughter, and because my chiropractor is a friend as well, she was there with me while I was in labor with my daughter, adjusting me throughout labor (I had an unmedicated/natural birth) and it was terrific. She also adjusted my daughter very shortly after she was born, too.
Chiropractic care can make you more comfortable and help your baby get into a good position during labor and make your labor easier.
