Pregnancy Care in Allentown
Our bodies are designed to function at optimal levels to maintain good health and wellness. This becomes even more important during pregnancy. Our doctors want our pregnant moms to enjoy their experience, with as little discomfort as possible. We know that when Mom is happy, everyone is happy, especially her growing baby!
Helping Mom During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care is safe and non-invasive. We never touch your baby, and moms are cared for gently throughout. Pregnancy adjustments are different from general adjustments but just as effective.
As her body prepares for delivery, a mom’s body produces hormones to loosen her ligaments. These same ligaments provide support, so misalignments can occur. We use a special table that accommodates your growing stomach, so you feel supported and comfortable.
We concentrate on making sure your pelvis is in alignment, and the surrounding muscles are functioning properly. With your ligaments in a relaxed state, it’s easier to complete the adjustment. We only use manual manipulation, nothing else.
How Can Chiropractic Help Me?
As the body changes, the center of gravity and position of the spine change. Our job is to ensure your body can adjust to these changes, for a shorter, easier and safer delivery. Postpartum recovery is usually faster too.
Adjusting the pelvis can relieve some of the discomfort that accompanies pregnancy. It helps with reflux by creating extra space for the baby. Other issues that can benefit from adjustment are headaches, back, chest and neck pain, sciatica and tight hip muscles.
Sometimes, too much stress is placed on the mom’s ligaments, preventing the baby from moving. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce the stress, allowing your baby to move into the correct position. We recommend her patients have regular adjustments for the duration of the pregnancy and after the baby is born.
