How Can Chiropractic Treatment Can Help With Pregnancy?
Dr. Dee is trained to work with women who are pregnant, wish to become pregnant, and who are recovering from pregnancy. The changes the body experiences throughout pregnancy place incredible stress on the human body as the baby grows. Chiropractic care can help the body adjust and adapt to these changes with ease.
The nervous system is housed within the spine, so any spinal misalignments the mother experiences throughout pregnancy inhibits the body’s ability to communicate. This can cause many of the symptoms listed above, as well as other ailments throughout the body. Keeping the spine aligned with routine chiropractic care throughout pregnancy helps the entire body work more effectively.
Establishing pelvic balance and alignment during pregnancy is also an important reason to visit Dr. Dee at Healing Hands Chiropractic throughout your pregnancy. A misaligned pelvis can reduce the amount of room baby has to grow, leading to intrauterine constraint.
AmericanPregnancy.org also states, “a misaligned pelvis can also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best position possible for delivery.” Unfortunately, this can make it extremely challenging for the mother to have a natural and non-invasive delivery. When baby is breech or in the posterior position, it makes it difficult for labor to naturally progress, and can lead to c-sections.
Chiropractic care helps realign the pelvis so that the baby has ample room to grow, develop, and move into the optimal position for birth! It is also proven to:
- Help mom and baby maintain a healthier pregnancy
- Aid in controlling symptoms of nausea
- Relieve back, neck, and joint pain
- Lead to a faster labor and delivery
- Improve recovery time post-partum
Chiropractic offers many benefits for mom and baby throughout pregnancy and postpartum care. Contact Healing Hands Chiropractic today for your appointment.

What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?
Those who receive regular chiropractic treatment report:
- Improved nerve communication throughout the body
- Relief from joint pain discomfort
- Relief from back and neck pain
- Improved mobility
- Increased recovery time for athletes
- Improved posture
- Stress relief
- Better sleep
- Increased energy
- Relief from chronic pain

When the spine has subluxations present, the body cannot function as it should. The nervous system becomes impaired, hindering communication throughout the body. This manifests itself in many ways, ranging from pain to headaches, poor sleep to poor posture, and everything in between.
By identifying the source of these pains and ailments, chiropractic treats the symptoms at their source. This is especially beneficial during pregnancy. Chiropractic is safe, natural, and effective for both mom and baby. It gives mothers a safe and natural option to treat their pregnancy symptoms while improving their overall wellness.
Chiropractic care provides a healthy, safe, natural, and effective way to help mother and baby throughout pregnancy by:
- Providing patients of Healing Hands Chiropractic with a doctor who specializes in identifying subluxations of the spine and correcting them through chiropractic adjustments
- Increasing nerve function and improving communication throughout the body
- Treating the source of symptoms rather than masking symptoms with over the counter medications or prescription medications
- Helping mother and baby have a faster and safer delivery
Pregnancy should be one of the most joyful times of a woman’s life. Chiropractic care can help!
