Benefits of Prenatal Care

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic care

Here at Jenkins Chiropractic, we understand that during pregnancy, the body undergoes several physiological and endocrinological changes that result in spinal and pelvic misalignment. Hormones loosen the ligaments in the mother’s body combined with a lowered center of gravity and the baby’s added weight can create great stress for the mother. Aside from being painful and generally uncomfortable for the mother, this can also result in several complications during delivery.

While seeing a chiropractor can relieve pain, seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy can have these added benefits:

-Help with nausea

-Reduce time of labor and delivery

-Reduce lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain

-Help prevent a C-section

-Lower risk of pre-term delivery

-Reduced need for pain medication during delivery and pregnancy

-Faster recovery time
