4 Benefits of Prenatal Care with Your Costa Mesa, CA, Chiropractor

Preparing to bring a little one into the family? Among the many other things on your to-do list, don’t forget to visit your chiropractor. Learn more about the benefits of these visits in this quick guide provided by our team at Coast Family Chiropractic.

Back Pain Relief 

It’s hard to meet a mom who can’t relate to back pain during pregnancy. As your baby grows, more and more weight is put on the spinal column. Additionally, your joints and ligaments loosen to prepare for the birthing process. All of this can lead to back pain – especially in the lower back. Chiropractic prenatal care can help relieve this pain and keep your spine in its optimal health.

Reduction in Nausea 

Nausea is another common component of pregnancy – and one that chiropractic prenatal care can address. This nausea is often tied to hormonal imbalances. Spinal realignment can promote the proper function of the nervous system, which is directly connected to the release of your hormones.

Smoother Labor and Delivery Process 

Having adjustments throughout pregnancy can ensure that the spine, pelvis, and hips are all properly aligned, which makes for an easier journey through the birth canal. Moms who get regular adjustments to maintain alignment tend to find that they experience a smoother and faster delivery process.

Prevent Breech Delivery 

Breech delivery refers to births in which the baby does not come out head first. This typically happens when there is no room for the baby to drop into the proper position. The Webster technique is an effective, natural way to address this. The chiropractor addresses specific joints, ligaments, and muscles to help create the space necessary for the baby to turn.

And the best part is that you don’t have to wait until late in your pregnancy to take advantage of this technique. By starting it early, you can reduce the risk of breech position significantly.
