Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy in Barrie

Healthy and Comfortable Pregnancy – We Can Help!

While pregnancy is a beautiful miracle it also causes the body to experience problems that can be significant challenges such as back pain, nausea or vomiting and lack of sleep just to name a few. Chiropractic care helps to prevent health issues from occurring during your pregnancy by ensuring your spine and pelvis are aligned and moving properly. Chiropractic helps to reduce pain, nausea, improves quality of sleep as well as other unpleasantries that may be holding you back from having a healthy, happy and comfortable pregnancy.

Benefits of Chiropractic During Pregnancy

Due to the constantly changing state of the body during pregnancy, mechanical problems such as low back pain, hip pain, neck pain and tension headaches are common. The pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Chiropractic re-aligns and corrects misalignments of the spine and pelvis and leads to better function of the individual joints and reduces pressure on the spinal cord and allows for optimal healing of the whole body.

Here is a list of some of the more known benefits:

Reduced Pain during pregnancy
Improved Sleep
Reduced Stress
Easier Delivery
Boosts Immune System
Reduced nausea or vomiting
Reduced Braxton Hicks Contractions
Help Breech Position
Overall Posture Improvement
Reduced postpartum pain

Why Should I Receive Chiropractic Care While Pregnant?

You should receive chiropractic care while pregnant due to the physical and chemical changes that your body will go through during your pregnancy. For example, as the weight of your abdomen gradually increases your center of gravity shifts which can often cause back pain. Also, hormonal changes relax the ligaments of the pelvis, allowing for stretching during childbirth. This can ultimately cause the aggravation of your spinal problems which by receiving chiropractic care can be reduced in order for you to remain active during your pregnancy.

FAQ's

Do I need to have back pain to see a chiropractor?

No. Chiropractic care should be considered preventive maintenance. And of course, it can often make your pregnancy and labor easier, even if you don’t have pain right now.

Will it be difficult or uncomfortable to receive chiropractic adjustments as my abdomen gets bigger?

Not at all. Chiropractors are trained to adjust the spines of pregnant women, and many adjusting tables have special modifications for this purpose.

How late in pregnancy can I receive adjustments?

Although you would benefit the most by receiving adjustments in the early stages of pregnancy and all the way through, you can still greatly benefit from receiving chiropractic adjustments further along in your pregnancy up to and during labor.

Can my baby receive chiropractic care?

Due to the potential trauma of birth (especially in the upper spine), it is essential that newborns be checked by a chiropractor and receive an adjustment, if needed. Naturally very gentle special techniques are used. We also have a kids section on our website if you would like more information.

"I’ve been a patient with Dr. Brad for several years now. When my husband and I found out I was expecting our first baby we were so excited! And I was also glad that I was already seeing a chiropractor. Midwives highly recommend it! When it came time to deliver I had a very easy time. Even my midwives said I did really well for my first baby. I definitely attribute some of that ease to my great chiropractic care!"
