During pregnancy, many pregnant women experience problems with bone and joint pain, especially back pain due to increased body weight. To reduce pressure on the body during pregnancy, Chiropractic therapy is a modern method recommended by the medical community.

Minimize and eliminate back pain for pregnant women

During pregnancy, along with the development of the fetus, the mother’s body also undergoes many changes, especially in weight, causing the spine to be under greater pressure and thus causing pain in the back area. This change can cause the spine to become misaligned, tissues to become irritated and inflamed, joints to become dislocated, and the body to become unbalanced, causing symptoms such as fatigue, numbness in the limbs, and difficulty moving, pain, fatigue,…

During pregnancy, the mother may experience back pain due to spinal diseases such as disc herniation, sciatica, lumbar degeneration of l4 l5… A study by the US National Library of Medicine said , up to 78% of pregnant women suffer from low back pain during pregnancy, seriously affecting the quality of their daily life.

Currently, reducing and eliminating back pain for pregnant women with Chiropractic spinal therapy is highly effective and popular globally because this is a method that does not use drugs or is invasive, so it is absolutely safe for pregnant women.

“With the Chiropractic method, a chiropractic doctor will use his hands to gently manipulate the patient’s spine to adjust the spine back to a balanced state, freeing the spinal nervous system from pressure tamponade. At this time, the pain will naturally reduce. In addition, patients also receive specialized, safe treatment equipment for pregnant mothers as well as instructions on exercises and good posture in daily activities.”

Have a healthy, comfortable, stress-reduced pregnancy

During pregnancy, the body goes through many changes, including weight gain, which can put a lot of strain on the back and hips. Regular Chiropractic treatment can help relieve this stress and relieve back, neck, and joint pain, giving expectant mothers the most comfortable time during pregnancy.

In addition to physical benefits, Chiropractic can also help reduce stress and improve nervous system function, thereby:
• Improve mood, reduce anxiety
• Feeling symptoms of vomiting and morning sickness
• Improve sleep, sleep better

Improve posture for pregnant women, prepare the best position for labor and birth

Another benefit of chiropractic adjustments and therapies for pregnant women is improved posture. As the uterus expands, it can put strain on the lower back and hips, leading to poor posture. Chiropractic care can help realign the spine and improve posture, reduce stress on the lower back and hips, and help prevent future discomfort.

During pregnancy, the pelvis can become misaligned, leading to a condition called intrauterine compression. This condition can make it difficult for the baby to move into the best position for birth and can lead to a more complicated birth. Regular Chiropractic therapy can help realign the pelvis and help the baby move into the optimal position for an easier birth, reducing labor time and the risk of a difficult birth for the mother.

Good for fetuses

Full fetal development: When the pelvis is misaligned, it can reduce the space available for the developing baby. Chiropractic doctors will help the mother’s pelvis stay in the optimal position.

Treatment of postpartum depression

Physical changes, emotional changes and lifestyle changes are three main influences that may be directly related to postpartum depression. It is important to note that hormones rise and fall sharply from the beginning to the end of pregnancy, and this can have a direct negative effect on the mother’s mood and adaptation. The arrival of a baby can sometimes be overwhelming for mothers and cause various psychological problems such as anxiety or sadness because so many changes are taking place.

An increase in hormones in the body has a positive effect on all organs. Chiropractic care during pregnancy will help regulate the body and increase hormone levels throughout pregnancy and also aid in reducing postpartum depression with this American treatment that can help. Other problems during pregnancy, including: easier childbirth, and effective control of all shoulder pain, neck pain caused by lying on the side for a long time in pregnant mothers as well as back pain symptoms due to fetal development. Having a healthy body after giving birth is also a prerequisite to help mothers gently overcome sleepless nights taking care of their children and balancing family and work life.
