Prenatal Chiropractor in Cambridge, Ontario
The Prenatal Chiropractor of Choice in Cambridge, Ontario
Bringing a life into being is incredibly exciting, but it can be (and usually is) highly uncomfortable. Between the frequent bouts of morning sickness and the extra weight you have to accommodate (ranging on average from 20 to 40 lbs), it’s no walk in the park.
Using gentle ministrations and adjustments, our team can help. We are trained in prenatal chiropractic and will make sure your body is in alignment, free from strain, and ready for labor.
There are a number of benefits associated with prenatal chiropractic:
1) Reduced back pain
It’s highly likely that you’re going to experience back pain over the course of your pregnancy. On average, 50% of women do. There are two main causes: the stooped posture some women adopt in an effort to accommodate the extra weight, and the hormone relaxin, which can cause supporting ligaments to loosen. Either way, the end result is the same: discomfort and pain. Our professionals will provide you with some relief by realigning your spine and correcting your posture.
2) Reduction in nausea
Nausea is another common side effect that you may be experiencing. By aligning your spine (and removing interferences along the nerve pathway), we can improve your overall nervous system and digestive functioning. It’s worth noting that we can also apply these principles to your newborn if he/she is experiencing colic or having difficulty latching.
3) Aligned and ready
This point will be particularly important for women going through a natural/vaginal birth. Our chiropractors will make sure your back, pelvis, and hips are neatly aligned—all of which are crucial in the birthing process. The result? You’ll have an easier time delivering your little one and managing the contractions.
4) Better position for baby
With your pelvis balanced, your baby will have an easier time going into a head-first position. This is highly preferable, as babies in breech are in danger of experiencing birthing complications. While we can’t directly ‘turn’ your baby into the correct position, we can facilitate his/her doing so by lessening intrauterine constraints.
Safe and Effective
As always, your comfort and safety (as well as the comfort and safety of your little one) is our number one concern. You don’t have to worry about aggressive maneuvers and dangerous adjustments that place pressure on the abdomen; our prenatal care is particularly gentle and tailored to the pregnant body.
With that being said, chiropractic care isn’t recommended if you suffer from preeclampsia, placenta previa, vaginal bleeding, or an ectopic pregnancy. If you’re wondering if prenatal chiropractic care is right for you and have a particular concern in mind, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
