From the moment of conception, your body goes through a series of changes. Back, pelvis, and postural changes can cause unwanted pain and discomfort. The good news is that chiropractic care can help!
How Can Chiropractic Help?
Your spine is made up of 24 independent vertebrae that allow your body to twist, bend, and move. It also helps protect the delicate central nervous system that controls and coordinates every cell, tissue, and organ in your body.
Spinal subluxations, commonly known as joint dysfunction, occur when two or more vertebrae become restricted and interfere with your body’s ability to communicate with itself. Joint dysfunction during pregnancy can be caused by the changes that are taking place in your body as it prepares to support you and your new bundle of joy.
Changes such as abdominal weight gain, poor posture, and pelvic rotation force your body to unnaturally adapt to the extra stress on your spine. These changes negatively impact joint function and nerve communication throughout your body.
Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct joint dysfunction by applying gentle, targeted motion to the body’s spine and extremities—where and when needed—to restore proper joint function and improve nerve communication throughout the body. This noninvasive technique is commonly known as a chiropractic adjustment.
