Pregnancy Chiropractors in Bellevue & Elkhorn, NE
Many pregnant women experience back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and hip discomfort during pregnancy. This is due to the rapid growth of the baby and changes to the mother's normal spinal curves.
Our chiropractic physicians will evaluate the changes to your body during pregnancy and offer chiropractic care throughout. Adjustments will relieve and often prevent these common discomforts.
Some specific benefits of pregnancy chiropractic include:
Reducing back pain and discomfort: As the weight of the growing fetus increases, it puts pressure on the lower back, hips, and legs. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate this pain and improve mobility.
Aiding in optimal fetal positioning: Chiropractic care focuses on ensuring proper alignment of the pelvis and spine. This can help the baby get into the optimal position for delivery.
Improving nerve function: Misalignments in the spine can interfere with nerve function, leading to discomfort and other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper nerve function, promoting overall wellness.
Reducing the need for pain medication during labor: By reducing pain and discomfort during pregnancy, chiropractic care may help women avoid or reduce the need for pain medication during labor.
Shortening labor and delivery times: Proper alignment of the pelvis and spine may help facilitate a smoother labor and delivery process, reducing the time it takes for the baby to be born.
It's important to note that chiropractic care during pregnancy should only be performed by a trained and licensed chiropractor who has experience working with pregnant women. It's also important to consult with your obstetrician or midwife before starting any new treatments during pregnancy.
