Pregnancy Chiropractor Traverse City

Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Whether you are trying to conceive or already pregnant, proper nervous system and spinal function is crucial to the development of your baby and essential to the well-being and comfort of mom. The effects of chiropractic care during pregnancy are far-reaching and extend way beyond treating pain! At Big Beautiful Life Chiropractic & Wellness, we are here to support you as your body goes through one of the biggest transformations: creating a new life.  By ensuring that the pelvis and spine are in proper alignment and motion, chiropractic care helps to ensure that the developing baby has plenty of room to grow within the womb. By maintaining this proper alignment and motion throughout pregnancy, chiropractic care can also improve the ability of the expecting mother to have a safe and natural birth process – which is something that is extremely vital to the health of both mom and baby.

Visiting a chiropractor in the Traverse City community during pregnancy can:

• Provide a more comfortable pregnancy
• Reduce labor time
• Increase neural communication
• Make more room for baby to grow
• Improve energy levels
• Decrease the need for interventions

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Pregnant Women

A study by the American Medical Association found that women who visited a prenatal chiropractor and received regular chiropractic care during their third trimester, carried and delivered with more comfort.

Another study concluded that with regular chiropractic adjustments:

• need for analgesics decreased by half during delivery
• relieved intrauterine constraint
• average amount of time spent in labor decreased by 24% in first time moms

Pregnant women who receive wellness care from a chiropractor benefit from pain relief for back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and various aches and pains throughout their body.
