How can chiropractic care help during pregnancy?
There are many hormonal and physical changes you’ll experience during your pregnancy. Some of these will have an impact on your posture and comfort. As your baby becomes heavier, your center of gravity shifts and your posture adjusts accordingly.
These physical changes during your pregnancy can lead to a misaligned spine or joints.
Other uncomfortable changes during pregnancy might include:
- A protruding abdomen resulting in an increased curve of your back
- Changes to your pelvis as your body begins to prepare for labor
- Adaptations to your posture
Regular visits to a chiropractor during your pregnancy can address these issues.
