What are the benefits of chiropractic care for pregnant women? Such a great question and I try to educate on this all the time. So, first and foremost, what I'm saying is either anecdotal or well supported with research that you can find more of at ICPA4Kids.com. So, first and foremost, we're looking at the neurobiomechanics of the pelvis. So, chiropractic can really help with proper alignment of the pelvis, which then leads to decrease in hip pain, low back pain, pubic bone pain, and also proper alignment for baby. Another huge benefit is decreased in labor times, beautiful birth, so less intervention needed during the labor and birth process. Women have also reported increase in energy, better sleep, better digestion, which is huge, the way that we are able to impact the immune system and the digestive system is our impact on the vagus nerve and the brain. Our moms have also seen benefits with heartburn and indigestion, which also goes back to the digestion piece as well. Better breastfeeding as well, which is huge, especially as we transition from pregnancy into the postpartum period as well. So, the energy piece, digestion, and of course the pain is going to be the top three reasons or the top three benefits that women come in during the perinatal period, especially during pregnancy. Our moms have reported decrease in rib pain, decrease in headaches, which is huge, and then of course, adaptability to stress, so less stress, less anxiety as well. So, these are some of the benefits of chiropractic care for pregnant women.
