Pregnancy
During pregnancy, there are many physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating a healthy and safe environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joints:
Establishing and maintaining pelvic balance and alignment is a good reason to seek out chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery. This can affect the mother’s ability to have a natural, non-invasive birth. Breech and posterior positions can interfere with the natural ease of labor and lead to interventions such as c-sections.
The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.
