Is Pregnancy Chiropractic Right For My Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.
Pregnancy and birth, as a natural process, has the potential to be enhanced with specific scientific chiropractic care allowing the mother and child to adapt and function the natural way it was intended to do during this beautiful process.
Maternity Chiropractor Louisville: Chiropractic care during pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth. In the mother, chiropractic care prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments. Chiropractic care removes torsion of the ligaments that support the uterus thus potentially reducing aberrant tension to the woman’s uterus.
Chiropractic adjustments reduce interference to the mother’s vital nerve system which controls and co-ordinates all of her systems and functions. By improving maternal function we are decreasing the potential for unnecessary intervention.
To the infant, chiropractic care reduces interference to the mother’s nerve system allowing for better baby development. Pelvic balance allows the baby greater room to develop without restrictions to the forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures. Chiropractic care offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth. With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.

Sciatica pain relief is one of our specialties. There are many causes of sciatica and being pregnant is definitely one of them. Due to all the babies being made in the Boulder, Colorado area, we are never at a shortage of helping women alleviate pregnancy-induced sciatica or low back pain. Sciatica is caused by abnormal pressure put on the nerves coming out of the low back. You may think chiropractors are bone doctors but we are really nerve doctors. The nerves just happen to be protected by the spinal bones. With the Torque Release Technique (TRT) the pregnancy chiropractor can restore proper structure to the spine to alleviate pressure on the lumbar nerves responsible for sciatica allowing you to get back to your normal life.
Yes! There have been numerous reported success cases. Prenatal Chiropractic adjustments ensure optimal fetal positioning by helping the hips, pelvis and sacrum to be in proper alignment. This, in turn, helps the uterus to be more symmetrical and allows the baby’s head to be in a better position to help stimulate cervical ripening.
